This federal contract award of $164,272 was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for the development of DERECHOS, an extension of the existing Automated Event Service (AES) system. DERECHOS aims to generalize AES to support analysis of irregularly spaced Earth science data, incorporate re-gridding and interpolation utilities, and integrate technologies for dimensionality reduction and moving object databases. This effort is expected to advance the AES system from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 to 5, corresponding to an end-to-end test in a relevant environment. The DERECHOS project supports the agency's mission in the area of big data analytics for Earth science data, particularly targeting improvements in hydrometeorological research productivity. This contract does not have a set-aside designation and runs from May 2015 to April 2017.
