Improving Performance for Data Access Web Services

This panel discussion will feature experts on data retrieval via Web services, emphasizing technologies and methodologies that will help OPeNDAP and OGC web service users (e.g., NASA/ESDIS) achieve sub-second response times for important aspects of its data discovery and retrieval services. The panel will present material, answer questions from the audience and note suggestions from the audience. The format of the discussion will be informal and invite participation from all attendees. Likely technologies to be discussed are data organization techniques, data replication, data storage technologies that are not based on file systems (array databases; cloud storage technologies) and user interfaces for on-the-fly data aggregation.
