Coupling external modules into Delft-FEWS

http://www.adasasistemas.com/


Java developments

Benefits:

Java is easy to learn

Write once, run anywhere

Java is object-oriented

Java is platform-independent

Client/server architecture, network capabilities

Performance

Dynamic, extensible



.NET developments

Benefits:

Simple to use, broadly available

Windows-based applications

Robust, stable, secure applications

Easy deployment and maintenance

Recommended for apps with graphical user interfaces

Handles connectivity with user



R developments

Benefits:

R is the leading statistical analysis language available

Free and open source

Platform independent

Highly extensible

Available packages for managing spatial data (shp, rasters)

Easy to integrates with other languages like C, C++ or Python



But wait…



Coupling external modules into FEWS

Capability to expand FEWS functionalities by coupling external modules

Flexibility to chose the right coding language to each specific development

Easy external module coupling

.NET

R



How is data integrated?

Delft-FEWS accepts the integration of various input formatsBut what happen when your data is not on these formats?And how do you bring the data into the Delft-FEWS import folders?

Adapters and parsers can be built to import any kind of data

Real-time non-stop integration and display of data

Java was used to implement the adapters for these sources

PI XML

NETCDF

ASCIIG r i d

DBFTP

HTTP.JSON.XML.CSV.XLS



Hydrological models in FEWS?

FEWS can integrate models from a large list of vendorsBut what happen when you look for an enhanced adapter?

Our hydrological model adapter includes an irrigation module that estimate farmers’ irrigation based on historical trends

Adapter and irrigation module have been implemented in Java

Corporate and business rules can also be used into Delft-FEWS

Water entitlements trading assessment toolTake the best of Delft-FEWS: visualisation, modifiers, general adapter

…but don’t be limited by it.

Tool and adapter were implemented in Java

Using corporate data into FEWS?



Can external tools also be developed?

Delft-FEWS provides great features: visualisation, integration, modelling, etc.

But what happen if you need more?

Irrigation Scheme Modifications toolTake the best of Delft-FEWS... and add what you required

The tool interface was developed using .NET

Can we work with spatial data?

FEWS is able to manage and represent spatial data, both vectorial and raster

But what happen if you are working with really big data sets?Or if you are applying complex spatial data analysis?

Satellite images processing and kc data calculation

We used R to develop the satellite image data analysis

Complex statistical analysis in FEWS?

Delft-FEWS provides some good transformations to apply statistical analysisBut what if you want to apply complex statistical analysis like fitting Linear Models or applying Dynamic Linear Models?
