GIS SDKs Dynamics Echoed by Social Requirements Transformations

چکیده
The aim of this paper is to describe the evolution of GIS applications development process, based on the SDKs transformations, especially by considering the ESRI ArcGIS development platform. On the one hand, this study relies on our previous experience in GIS software engineering; on the other hand, it reflects the features and particularities of the projects we conducted within the bachelor and master’s theses of our students. Further comments are being made, regarding the transformation of traditional desktop applications to gain contextual recommendation functionalities as well as their reengineering towards mobility. We furthermore intend to determine whether the integration of Virtual and Mixed Reality in this typology of applications is feasible and to anticipate the usefulness for communities of users grouped either by their geographical location or by their common interests. Keywords— GIS; Virtual reality; Mixed Reality; Software

Evaluation of Cross-Platform Frameworks for Mobile Applications
With today’s ubiquity of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, more and more businesses develop and use mobile applications. Multiple platforms including Android and iOS form the market of mobile devices, so it can be important to be able to deliver software for more than one platform. Vendor-supported SDKs are feature-rich but incompatible with other platforms. We compared a number of...
متن کاملSocial Collaboration Model Support for Collaborative 3d Gis Environment Based on Multi-agent Method
The existing 3D Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are confronting complex requirements when Internet-based technology is arising: the users need to share not only 3D data but also the same understanding of the work contexts and environments when they are geographically dispersed, so that they can collaboratively work together for a common goal. These kinds of requirements are usually seen ...

متن کاملModelling social-ecological transformations: an adaptive network proposal
Transformations to create more sustainable social-ecological systems are urgently needed. Structural change is a feature of transformations of social-ecological systems that is of critical importance but is little understood. Here, we propose a framework for conceptualising and modelling sustainability transformations based on adaptive networks. Adaptive networks focus attention on the interpla...
