DESCRIPTION
This presentation will provide the attendee with an introduction to data processing in GeoServer by means of WPS, rendering transformations and SQL views. We will start by a brief introduction to GeoServer WPS capabilities, showing how to build processing request based on existing processes and how to build new processes leveraging scripting languages, and introducing unique GeoServer integration features, showing how processing can seamlessly integrate directly in the GeoServer data sources and complement existing services. The presentation will move on showing how to integrate on the fly processing in WMS requests, achieving high performance data displays of heatmaps, point interpolation and contour line extraction without having to pre-process the data in advance, and allowing the caller to interactively choose processing parameters. While the above shows how to make GeoSever perform the processing, the analytics abilities of spatial databases are not to be forgotten, the presentation will move on showing how certain classes of processing can be achieved directly in the database. Eventually, the presentation will close with some guidance on how to choose the best processing approach depending on the application needs, data volumes and frequency of update, mentioning also the possibly to leverage GeoServer own processes from batch tools such as GeoBatch. At the end the attendee will be able to easily issue WPS requests both for Vectors and Rasters to GeoServer trhough the WPS Demo Builder, enrich SLDs with awesome on-the-fly rendering transformations and play with virtal SQL views in order to create dynamic layers.

Some historical perspective
Year 2008:
Publish maps on the net
Nice styling, maybe time/elevation based selector, some little extra filtering
Maybe some editing, some PDF printing
Year 2013:
All of the above, but…
We can hardly make a new application without some data processing in it
WPS: some quick reminders
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
Web Processing Service
Wikipedia introduces OGC WPS as:
[A service] designed to standardize the way that GIS calculations are made available to the Internet.
WPS can describe any calculation including all of its inputs and outputs, and trigger its execution
The specific processes served up by a WPS implementation are defined by the owner of that implementation.
Although WPS was designed to work with spatially referenced data, it can be used with any kind of data.

The Situation
• MetOc data is extremely dynamic
• In-Situ sensors acquire data in near real-time
• Meteorological and Oceanographic model runs multiple times a day
• Remote Sensing data is acquired at fast pace
• Meteo Radar data is acquired at fast pace
• Large amount of data is produced to model fast changing environmental variables
• We must shorten to the small possible extent the time and resources for preprocessing!

The CMRE-IDA Project
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
• The Integrated Decision Aid (IDA) has been developed at the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) in order to provide naval exercise planners with an effective tool to assess risk to marine mammals from acoustic transmissions.
• Assessment of potential hazard is performed through sound propagation modeling available in the interface.
Intro

FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
Sound Propagation Model
• External Octave Matlab Process
• Logs the asynchronous process status to the DB as a Feature
Octave Matlab Script for SPM
WFS Follows the process status through the WFS WFSLog
Process allows to insert and update the status of SPM into the DB
Dynamically builds an external Octave command line using the input parameters through a FreeMarker Template (FTL)
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
• The list of model runs is available on the bottom Data Grid.
• It is possible to get information on the input parameters and execution from the WFS

• Advanced Raster Algebra using Jiffle
• Wraps Jiffle (http://code.google.com/p/jiffle/) in order to execute complex Raster Algebra scripts against the input layers
Raster Algebra Processes
Jiffle is a scripting language for creating and analysing raster images. Rather than having to write and test lots of JAI or Java AWT boiler-plate code to access and manipulate images, Jiffle lets you concentrate on the interesting bit: your algorithm. Jiffle is being developed as part of the JAITools project. Update 16 January 2013: Jiffle sources have moved to GitHub

The Destination Project
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
• The Destination project computes the risk of accidents involving dangerous goods (chemicals, petrol, gases and so on)
Intro
Road segments and stats about car accidents
Human and environmental «targets»
Involved area, depending on type of good and amount of damage
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
• Road network of good part of northern Italy
• Road divided into segments
• 100m portions (500k of them)
• 500m aggregation (120k of them)
• 1 km square cells (few hundreds)
• 51 buffer distances (depending on good, scenario, level of damage)
• Several types of targets: schools, malls, hospitals, populated areas, superficial and underground acquifers, crops, woods, ….
Large Data Volume
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
The road arc risk formula (s)
• Adding togheter the risk caused by the different
• Arc own propension to accidentds
• Types of goods
• Human and enviromental targets
• The system allows to compute partial views of the formula, either by selection of targets/goods or by computing portions of it
• Has a number of coefficients that can be hand-tuned by the caller
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
The results, visually
• Rendering transformation
• Read the arcs/polys from the DB, compute their risk based on the chosen formula, scenario, targets, and coefficients
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
How to compute it efficiently?
• Using SQL Views? No, the possible aggregations variants are too many
• Using a pure Java process? No, too much data to transfer from the DBMS
• Fully on the fly? No, too much data involved
• Pre-compute all buffers and locate all involved targets before hand (pre-cooked per buffer risk)
• Use a process that builds a final aggregation query on the fly (dynamic sql views)

• Compute risk on the fly in the viewing area
• Batch requests to the BDMS to minimize round-trip overhead
FOSS4G Europe 2014, Bremen 14th-17th July 2014
Efficient cross layer filtering
• Show only targets involved in the scenario under study, e.g., the ones crossing the buffer areas where there is significant risk
• Limit query to the current bbox
