Grid based Real Time Collaborative System

This paper mainly highlights the technical challenges addressed while deploying an end user specific real time Geospatial collaborative system on the top of GARUDA Grid. The grid simulation results has been gathered in a automated mode from the computing clusters of the Grid and the results of equal time stamp have been merged by a centralized image processing unit which has been connected to a `Master Visualization Server´. Operations of the master visualization server gets synchronized with many regional remote `Proclient´ systems and both together manages the real time collaborative events by disseminating the camera display of master scene as well as supporting the virtual visualization of proclient information between and across the Grid users locations. The system has been made operational as GARUDA Grid Real Time Collaborative System (GG-RT-CS) and same can be implemented on any computational Grid which supports regional scale Geospatial applications.
