Show moreThe emerging class of urgent geoscience workflows are capable of quickly allocating computational resources for time critical tasks. To date, no urgent computing capabilities for data services exists. Since urgent geoscience and Earth science workflows are typically data intensive, urgent data services are necessary so that these urgent workflows do not bottleneck on inappropriately managed or provisioned resources. In this paper we examine emerging urgent Earth and geoscience workflows, the data services used by these workflows, and our proposed urgent data management framework for managing urgent data services.
