Distributed Data Dissemination Server Jimmy Wan University of Michigan & Merit Networks (vecna@eecs. umich. edu)

Project Goals l Provide access to internet data visualization tools via command line or WWW interface – http: //www. merit. edu/ipma/tools/ l Allow people to create their own data channels l Controlled access to public and private data streams

Description l Push-Pull server model allowing data access from heterogeneous clients l Supports Historic & Real-Time Queries l Attribute based data discovery l Multi-Server capability l Client-side libraries available in C, C++, and Java

Features l Configurable (configuration files, admin tools, logging…) l Security via IP Access Control Lists (wildcard allow/deny) l Multi-Platform Support (UNIX and Win 32)

Multi-server capability l Run a private server to use our publicly available viz tools on your own data l Allows shared access to public data streams l Configurable peers l Unicast based with plans for multicast in the future

Current Status of IPMA Software l l Documentation and Download Info – http: //www. merit. edu/ipma/docs/Manual/ Data Distillation and Publishing Distributed Data Dissemination Server MRT Library – Currently available at http: //www. merit. edu/mrt/
