Infrastructure Middleware
We collect our data in collaboration with UCSD ROADNet. We use Antelope Environmental Data Collection Software and Datascope Relational Database
from Boulder Real Time Technologies (BRTT). Antelope is an integrated collection of programs for data collection and seismic data analysis, and typically runs at the central processing site. It has been in development for over a decade and is deployed around the world.
A central component to the Antelope Environmental Data Collection Software is the Object Ring Buffer (ORB), which makes fault-tolerant data transmission possible, guarding against network and computer failures.
We have also begun using RBNB DataTurbine, another data collection middleware based on a ring-buffer technique. RBNB DataTurbine is being test on a pilot observatory at the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve in collaboration with San Diego Supercomputer Center.
