In a few words…
GreenSSLMTM is a permanent monitoring system handling complex computing interfaces dedicated to ●store●manage●process and ●assess
environmental parameters which characterize the holistic status of an area
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
Motivations and Targets
● Urban spreadingLand use change, human hazardous effects upon environment, inhibited areas near regions undergoing crisis
● Global economy dependence on agriculture, livestock and fisheryVegetation growth, health and diversity, environmental and other factors causing stresses on ecosystem’s equilibrium, optimized solutions for increased production
● Environmental changes and wildlife extinctionOptimization of environmental theory, monitoring and modeling, definition of the interaction patterns of all factors across a landscape, design of crisis control and management plans

Data management and potentialsAn environment-
oriented product, aiming in establishing an efficient relation
coexistence relation of human and environment
Ability to monitor any area regardless of how
remote, inhibited or not it may be
Ability to acquire real time data on short
frequency periods, and archive them for the deduction of areas
history and statistics
Ability to select, manage and process a vast
amount and variety of complex data across all
the environmental levels of a landscape (as opposed to limited
covering of a specific area/ phenomenon)
Ability to detect environmental
phenomena non detectable by the human
eye and/or traditional monitoring
Ability to provide land use optimization plans, as well as enforcement of agriculture and other
economy factors
Professional processing powered by
environmental mathematical models
and imagery algorithms, designed by our team of environment biologists
Brief environmental report of the area on a 3-
month basis

Multi-Source Computing EnvironmentGreenSSLMTM ensures to collect the grand quantity of ambiguous information needed for a holistic environmental evaluation and thereby handles data of multiple origins:
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
A constellation of satellites monitoring Earth, night and day, proving high resolution imagery
A constellation of satellites collecting climate recordings of surface and atmosphere chemistry
A long and detailed collection of statistics and area classification reports upon the area
A feedback of the data acquired by the system, in the form of statistic parameters (respective means, mean deviation, etc) and history

GreenSSLMTM: Easily adaptive to the end user’s needs
• Variation of the types and processing levels upon the end-user’s requirements
• Online user interface, with summary reports upon factors of the area and across time
• Online user interface, implemented as a GIS layered map for the user to manage the data acquired
www.aratos.gr www.www.greensslm.com
Procedure Technical DescriptionA p r i o r i s te p s
– Implementation of environmental mathematical models and image processing algorithms
– Definition of the data needed to be acquired to satisfy the end user’s requirements
– Collection of static land cover information on the area
P r o c e s s i n g s te p s– Conversion of all input data into
formats able to be handled under a unifying interface
– Application of all the respective computations and evaluation of the environmental significance of the results
– Deduction of statistics and comparison with archived records to created a full report
– Presentation of all the acquired results in a graphical user interface

Benefits of using GreenSSLMTM
Valuable, carefully selected, information for the most concrete environmental studiesGreenSSLMTM manages a vast variety and quantity of data in order to calculate a set of indicating parameters, as these are evaluated to be catalytic in the alterations and/or preservations of an ecosystem's status and also serve as representative identities of a region's current status.
Delivering holistic reports and optimized land use solutionsGreenSSLMTM offers constant remote monitoring and runs a combination of multiple algorithmic models, the results of which are analytically studied by environmental biologists of our team to deliver solutions which improve environmental theory and monitoring, human and wildlife co-existence and vegetation growth.

Green SSLMTM Mobile
GreenSSLMTM will offer soon a new mobile application. Ideal to use directly from the area that is being monitored.
Online environmental data transmition and upload to the main system
Sharing of information among volunteers
Transmition of data (images, videos) from the local area
Environmental monitoring information retrieval
Soon available in iOS and Android platforms
