MAGIC-II Overview
The MAGIC-II scenario is based on applications
such as mission planning and crisis management
 Application requirements

–
–
–
–

locate, process, display real-time and/or archived datasets on-the-fly
fuse multiple types of data (e.g., weather, terrain)
be able to transfer large volumes of data for interactive visualization
support a range of user capabilities (e.g., large command center, or a
mobile user)
The objective of MAGIC-II is to build on work and
facilities of MAGIC-I to solve the scaling problems
associated with these application scenarios
