The MOCHA Project • Goals: • Transparent access to distributed data sources • Scaleable middleware architecture • Automatic deployment of code (Plug-N-Play) • On-site processing and “filtering” of data • Reduction of data movement over Internet • Built upon Java and XML standards
MOCHA 3 -Tier Architecture • Clients • Web-based (applets) • Query Processing Coordinator • Metadata for schema translation • Java Code Repository (types and methods) • Data Access Provider • Data translation • Data filtering • Data Server • Repository of metadata and data products

MOCHA Features • Uniform access to distributed data • Integrated schema for multiple sites • Platform independent solution • Java and XML • Fully extensible • User-defined types and methods (MOCHLETS) • Access data in their existing formats • On-site retrieval and processing of live data
MOCHA Features • Automatic code deployment (Plug-N-Play) • Easy to administer • Easy to extend and upgrade • “Light-weight” data access layer • Easy to customize, install, and enhance • XML-based metadata for • System catalog • Data products • Efficient Query Processing • Minimize data movement over Internet
Advantages Over Previous Solutions • Web-based Thin Clients • Single point of access to the system: QPC • Easy and inexpensive to configure • Users need not be aware of low-level details (data sites, data servers, schemas, …) • Unlimited Extensibility • SQL and XML query services (no inefficient scripting) • Customizable types and user-defined methods (MOCHLETS) • Scaleable • Easy to add new services, sites, code, and clients
Project Status • Operational System • Multi-threaded QPC with catalog and code repository • Relational and XML DAPs • Data Sites • 3 servers with relational DAPs • 1 high-performance SP2-HPSS data repository • Demonstrated at ACM SIGMOD 2000 Conf. • Access TM, AVHRR and GIS Data Products • Web demo: http://mocha.umiacs.umd.edu • Future work • Deployment on ESIP Federation
