D2.7 Initial report on the architecture used for the design, implementation, and integration scenarios of AAI, Monitoring Service, PID Service

This document outlinesthe current design that is being worked towards by the SUBMERSE consortium partners to realise the aims of the project. The system itself is composed of multiple parts. These include the sensing equipment, the storage and processing facilities, the dissemination facilities, the network which connects all the equipment together, the access control system, and the synchronisation of time and software across each of the sites.
