Points for ICG, Graz University of Technology
They would benefit from having the following functionality provided by a middleware (ie: not necessarily only MeteoIO, plus this is a letter to Santa more than strict requirements):
- PNG format =>Yes;
- online/run-time DEM loading=>Yes;
- android port;
- OGC SWE loader (O&M, SOS);
- Pachube loader ( api.pachube.com);
- something for computational steering (see https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Computational_steering"". This would be acheived with some client/server modules in MeteoIO. This is what we are dreaming of for Alpine3D...
- multi-resolution/local area loading (load step by step or only in some specific areas (zoom/cropping) of different simulation results, really practical for mobile and low bandwidth network)
- large data remote loading (cf libcurl)
