Algorithm Porting
Transform your algorithms to a cloud-based service
The APEx Algorithm Porting Service is designed to support projects in transforming their existing EO data processing algorithms and workflows into APEx-compliant services. By aligning your algorithms and workflows with the APEx guidelines, this service ensures that algorithms and workflows are standardized using frameworks like openEO or OGC Application Package. This approach not only makes them reusable as cloud-based services but also facilitates the integration with other APEx services.
Included features
The Algorithm Porting Service offers support at different stages of your algorithm’s development, ensuring that it meets APEx standards and is prepared for further integration.
Initial Algorithm Analysis
The process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your algorithm to evaluate its APEx compliance. This assessment maps your algorithm to the most suitable APEx-compliant technology. This analysis helps identify potential risks and offers recommendations on the best technology path for your algorithm.
Transforming Algorithms into openEO UDPs
For EO workflows that can be adapted into openEO User Defined Processes (UDP), APEx offers expert guidance to help transform and integrate them within an APEx-compatible environment. Our openEO specialists provide hands-on consultations to resolve technical challenges and ensure smooth implementation.
Packaging Algorithms as OGC Application Packages
For algorithms that are suited for deployment as cloud-native applications, APEx assists in packaging them as OGC Application Packages, ensuring compatibility with cloud environments and APEx standards.
Key benefits
The Algorithm Porting Service helps you transition your algorithms, ensuring compliance and preparing them for long-term use.
Technical guidance
Our experts provide hands-on support to guide you through the transformation of your EO workflows, making them compatible with APEx-compliant technologies, such as openEO and OGC Application Package.
Standardization
Your algorithms are evaluated and modified to meet industry standards, enhancing their reusability and interoperability with existing algorithm hosting platforms.
Enhanced visibility and accessibility
Once ported, your algorithm can be easily onboarded into the APEx Algorithm Catalogue, significantly increasing its visibility and accessibility to the wider EO community.
Future-proofing for long-term impact
By aligning your algorithm with industry standards and APEx compliance guidelines, you ensure its long-term reusability, enabling future projects to build on your work and expanding its overall impact.
