Data Handling
The FutureWaves™ system is built upon the Gravity system architecture, which includes an
archiving tool that will be the main data collection mechanism. Data are moved within the
FutureWaves™ system using a publish/subscribe paradigm. An archiving instance subscribes to
data products which are desired for archiving, and writes them to file as they are published to the
system. Through this process, any user with access to the FutureWaves™ system can archive
any desired data products. The archiving GUI interface allows management of the archiving
features and selection of desired data products. Archived files include a time stamp in their
name, which indicates the date and time for which the data log began.
