The Research of MEICSP Model through a REST Web Service

Nowadays, Marine Information Systems play a critical role between users and huge marine environmental information. However, it is not easy to sharing of marine environmental information and integration of marine business systems. To integrate systems and share information, it is of great importance to build an easy-accessible platform in parallel with the continuous development of technology innovation and the growth of business requirements of marine industries. In this paper, Combined with the Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing technology, we propose a method for designing a marine environmental information cloud computing services support platform (MEICSP) according to representational state transfer architectural style (REST), and demonstrate the validity of MEICSP through experiments. The contribution of this article is to reveal key aspects of new software architecture for the next generation marine software.
