  1. Web Services for Satellite Emulation Development Kathy J. Liszka Allen P. Holtz The University of Akron NASA Glenn Research Center

  2. Motivation • Support an emulation of space-based • Internet architectures • backbone network • formation clusters • Constellations • Provide a web-based architecture for remote access and control of a multi-user, distributed system.

  3. Complex Multi-satellite Emulation Scenarios

  4. NASA Satellite emulation test bed Experimenter Site Internet Experimenter Site Experimenter Site

  5. Data Format • Need computational methods for efficient data: • access • sharing • information extraction • SGML • XML • simple • well-documented data • straightforward format • text

  6. XML document creation • Microsoft Word • create template with formats that map to your XML data • save in RTF format • RTF → XML converter • applications with DOM parser • JAVA API • XSLT stylesheets

  7. User input to the emulation • reduce human error • user-friendly interface • automatically encode data into an XML document • well-formed • complete • web-based

  8. XSmiles • An official W3C recommendation. • Delivers a pure Java  XML browser. • Capable of displaying documents written in various XML languages. • Supports: • XSL Transformations (XSLT) • XSL Formatting Objects (XSL FO) • Synchronised Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL)  • XForms • XHTML • X3D • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) • Allows rich multimedia content, such as video and audio, and streaming of it. 

  9. XForms emulation interface • separates data from the web-page • data content derived from forms is stored in XML (developer defined) format • forwarded as a stream of Unicode bytes • platform independent

  10. XML File <my> <Scenario_Name>Scenario_one.xml</Scenario_Name> <Facility> <Instrument> <IPAddress>127.0.0.1</IPAddress> <Data_Rate>1000</Data_Rate> </Instrument> <Location> <Latitude> <Degrees>45</Degrees> <Minutes>24</Minutes> </Latitude> <Longitude> <Degrees>34</Degrees> <Minutes>29</Minutes> </Longitude> </Location> </Facility> </my>

  11.

  12. Emulation Scenario • Satellite & ground stations • Run-time control • Orbital parameters • Network routes • Interface bandwidths • Delay • Bit error rates

  18. CGI program XML Scenario Submission Internet SOAP SOAP

  19. SOAP • Simple Object Access Protocol • XML-based protocol. • Used for interoperability. • Defines the use of XML and HTTP to access services, objects, and servers in a platform-independent manner.

  20. Future Work • XLINK • basis for graphs • providing a semantic representation of the objects defined in the form and their relationship to each other • SVG • Language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. • Can be interactive and dynamic. • Animations can be defined and triggered either declaratively or scripted. • Multimedia streaming content

  21. Internet XLINK XForms Streaming Multimedia SVG
