ARTEMeS - a brief overview

Alphecca Real Time Environmental Measurement System




ARTEMeS has been designed principally to provide access to displays of environmental measurements made at remote sites, using Internet or corporate networks. It offers a number of advantages over other systems:







No computer is necessary at the measurement location.

Connection to a network can be provided by a very small embedded microprocessor that has no user interface. It cannot be used to access other Internet sites, download software or data and cannot propogate viruses.



ARTEMeS allows easy connection to instrumentation and systems provided by other suppliers.

It is now possible to have a single mechanism to access and acquire data from diverse remote measurement systems. All that is required is a digital data output from the instrumentation, and a network connection.



Data are stored within ARTEMeS in a strong object-based fashion.

Different data types (single scalar values, vector pairs, locations, raw binary, images &c) are handled with equal ease, while respecting the mathematical and technical details of each.



ARTEMeS data are linked to essential metadata.

Data are always displayed together with information such as location, units and parameter type, and cannot be taken out of context.



ARTEMeS is a multi project, multi user system.

Access to data from different projects or locations is restricted to individual users or groups of users having usernames and passwords.



ARTEMeS can be offered as an Internet service.

With no IT equipment on the client's network except for an embedded microprocessor at each instrument, ARTEMeS may be used in applications with limited network infrastructure and at low cost.
Web pages showing data displays may be hosted either by Alphecca Systems' server or a client's own server.



ARTEMeS displays are highly interactive.

All displays allow additional meta data about each parameter to be obtained, while more complex displays such as time series graphs allow values of individual and related measurements to be read directly. Other displays such as maps and current profiles may be rotated to alter the users viewpoint, or animated to show time series of complex data types as a movie-sequence.



ARTEMeS can be used to enter manual observations.

Data entered using a web form may be acquired as though made automatically. This allows measurements from non-instrumented sites to be incorporated and displayed using the same interactive displays as data from automatic systems.



ARTEMeS software is not installed on user's computers.

Users do not need special rights to access ARTEMeS displays once the Java Runtime Environment has been installed. Additional or upgraded displays do not have to be installed on client machines.
