Fig. 1. Characteristics of the processing system
The software package is built on three-level architecture. All resource-intensive calculations are installed in the application server implemented on the basis of J2EE technology. The application server actively uses distributed calculations ensuring high scalability of the software package.
Fig. 2. Client-server architecture
In order to ensure flexibility, the PC system manages the data processing according to a user-defined processing sequence. The processing sequence is compiled by the user from a great number of standard processing functions and may be extended by the user-defined Java and Matlab modules. Processing sequence may include branchpoints and savepoints for intermediate results which makes it possible to minimize repeated calculations.

Fig. 4. Example of processing sequence
Raw, intermediate and resulting data are stored in the relational database. The relational database has a flexible structure which may be expanded by the user. Along with the low-frequency seismic data, the system may also use seismic data, well logging data and other factual and cartographic geological-geophysical information.

All available information may be graphically visualized at any stage of processing. Visualization includes plots, maps and 3D models. The contents and the form of data presentation may be dynamically changed by the user in course of data processing.
