1 The MOCHA Project Goals: –Transparent access to distributed data sources –Scaleable middleware architecture –Automatic deployment of code (Plug-N-Play) –On-site processing and “filtering” of data –Reduction of data movement over Internet –Built upon Java and XML standards

2 MOCHA 3 -Tier Architecture Clients –Web-based (applets) Query Processing Coordinator –Metadata for schema translation –Java Code Repository (types and methods) Data Access Provider –Data translation –Data filtering Data Server –Repository of metadata and data products

5 MOCHA Features Uniform access to distributed data –Integrated schema for multiple sites Platform independent solution –Java and XML Fully extensible –User-defined types and methods (MOCHLETS) Access data in their existing formats –On-site retrieval and processing of live data

6 MOCHA Features Automatic code deployment (Plug-N-Play) –Easy to administer –Easy to extend and upgrade “Light-weight” data access layer –Easy to customize, install, and enhance XML-based metadata for –System catalog –Data products Efficient Query Processing –Minimize data movement over Internet

7 Advantages Over Previous Solutions Web-based Thin Clients –Single point of access to the system: QPC Easy and inexpensive to configure –Users need not be aware of low-level details (data sites, data servers, schemas, …) Unlimited Extensibility –SQL and XML query services (no inefficient scripting) –Customizable types and user-defined methods ( MOCHLETS ) Scaleable –Easy to add new services, sites, code, and clients

8 Project Status Operational System –Multi-threaded QPC with catalog and code repository –Relational and XML DAPs –Data Sites 3 servers with relational DAPs 1 high-performance SP2-HPSS data repository Demonstrated at ACM SIGMOD 2000 Conf. –Access TM, AVHRR and GIS Data Products –Web demo: Future work –Deployment on ESIP Federation
