Geographical Information Systems and Grid Applications Pattern Informatics Earthquake forecasting code developed by Prof. John Rundle (UC Davis) and collaborators. Uses seismic archives as input Regularized Dynamic Annealing Hidden Markov Method (RDAHMM) Time series analysis code by Dr. Robert Granat (JPL). Can be applied to GPS and seismic archives. Can be applied to real-time data. GeoFEST Finite element method code developed by Dr. Jay Parker (JPL) and Prof. Greg Lyzenga (JPL/Harvey Mudd College) Uses fault models as input. Virtual California Prof. Rundle’s UC-Davis group Used for simulating time evolution of fault systems using fault and fault friction models.

Pattern Informatics in a Grid Environment PI in a Grid environment: Hotspot forecasts are made using publicly available seismic records. Southern California Earthquake Data Center Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) catalogs Code location is unimportant, can be a service through remote execution Results need to be stored, shared, modified Grid/Web Services can provide these capabilities Problems: How do we provide programming interfaces (not just user interfaces) to the above catalogs? How do we connect remote data sources directly to the PI code. How do we automate this for the entire planet? Solutions: Use GIS services to provide the input data, plot the output data Web Feature Service for data archives Web Map Service for generating maps Use HPSearch tool to tie together and manage the distributed data sources and code.

Tying It All Together: HPSearch HPSearch is an engine for orchestrating distributed Web Service interactions It uses an event system and supports both file transfers and data streams. Legacy name HPSearch flows can be scripted with JavaScript HPSearch engine binds the flow to a particular set of remote services and executes the script. HPSearch engines are Web Services, can be distributed interoperate for load balancing. Boss/Worker model ProxyWebService: a wrapper class that adds notification and streaming support to a Web Service. More info: http://www.hpsearch.org

RDAHMM: GPS Time Series Segmentation Slide Courtesy of Robert Granat, JPL GPS displacement (3D) length two years. Divided automatically by HMM into 7 classes. Features: Dip due to aquifer drainage (days 120-250) Hector Mine earthquake (day 626) Noisy period at end of time series Complex data with subtle signals is difficult for humans to analyze, leading to gaps in analysis HMM segmentation provides an automatic way to focus attention on the most interesting parts of the time
