[SoC] GSoC 2015 JGrasstools MODFLOW and Zoo-WPS ideas

[Alexander Kmoch]

Hi everyone,

my name is Alex, I am studying Geoinformatics in New Zealand, water is a 
big issue here (like probably in most places nowadays). I have been 
working with the 52North WPS for a while. In my research work I am 
aiming to apply OGC standards in Hydrogeology. Lately I started 
experimenting with encapsulating SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) 
within a 52N WPS algorithm and to "feed" it with OGC geodata (aka WFS 
features, WCS coverages and SOS hydro-climate time-series).

At this stage I saw the OSGeo GSoC Jgrasstools ideas, amazing :-) As of 
now I'd like to ask, why ZOO-WPS is chosen as the WPS? Just as a 
question, JGrassTools as Java-API would also play nicely with the 52N 
WPS? I don't have much experiences with ZOO, but I got it installed and 
could get a JVM process running.

I'd would be intrigued to explore these topics further with you.

Best Regards,
Alex

PS: Good luck and all the best for the GSoC acceptance as mentoring org :-)
