Description:

Work with client system architects in defining system architecture for major data collection and processing system. System has high performance requirements, including collection from thousands of remote devices within a short timeframe, and compute-bound processing of sampled data, including pattern analysis. System also includes user interfaces, such as work progress monitors, to provide operations monitor and control capabilities.

Specified processing performance requirements, based on pilot system metrics, developing mathematical models of processing scenarios used to specify hardware architecture.

Developed component architecture modeling, including identification of data and timing dependencies.

Evaluated and specified technical architecture, based on Java, for server processes. Developed proof of concept prototype to validate language facilities could meet system performance requirements.

Developed job processing architecture, that manages workflow through a multi-threaded process, in Java.

Specified user interface architecture based on Client-Web tier architecture. This is a thin-client architecture using standard web browser clients accessing Java Server Pages on a web server for display and data entry. All business logic is removed from the Client and implemented in the Web tier of JSP's, Java beans and JDBC database access.
