System Architecture

This deliverable will contain the description of be STORM system architecture, including the presentation of the communication between the modules of the integrated system. Each module will be specified in detail, while the integrated view of the infrastructure will be designed and specified to guide the implementation and integration phases. Use of a cloud infrastructure and selection, extension and deployment of an open cloud implementation solution will be described here, as well as ways to ensure future expansion incorporating cloud federation schemes. The use of protocols and data representation standards will be reported, and wherever issues of extension or limitations are identified, these will be highlighted so that they are addressed in WPs 4, 5 and 6.
