The recent integration of the internet with geo-information systems (GIS) has evolved the concept of Internet Distributed GeoInformation Services. Numerous research and implementation studies of standards of metadata, geo-libraries, data storage and retrieval etc. are being done giving way to exchange and share of geo-information. However, very little effort has gone into making it possible to ...

Most of the environmental problems have an obvious spatial dimension and Geographic Information System (GIS) are widely used for solving environmental problems. Service oriented architecture in distributed computing environment with loosely coupled geo-services is a new approach for using GIS services in environmental modeling. The messages exchanged must follow a set of standard protocols whic...

the aim of this study was to design the strategic orientations model of market, brand and entrepreneurship in the food industry in iran.  the organizational decisions are not formed  in a vacuum but in the economic and cultural environmental context of each country, they are much influenced by many different factors. this study is of applied type and was conducted in two stages. first after an ...

Defining the geo-information sector and estimating its economic value on a national level is difficult and standard methodologies are not available. The aim of this paper is to clearly define the geo-information sector and to measure its economic value in terms of turnover, employment, activities and the market. The results of the survey in the Netherlands estimate the economic value of the Dut...

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated at NCBI in 1999 in response to the growing demand for a public repository for data generated from high-throughput microarray experiments. GEO has a flexible and open design that allows the submission, storage, and retrieval of many types of data sets, such as those from high-throughput gene expression, genomic hybridization, and antibody a...

Geo-replication is the process of maintaining copies of data at geographically dispersed datacenters for better availability and fault-tolerance. The distinguishing characteristic of geo-replication is the large wide-area latency between datacenters that varies widely depending on the location of the datacenters. Thus, choosing which datacenters to deploy a cloud application has a direct impact...

abstract: new approaches to strategy have accepted strategic thinking as a complement or even an alternative for strategic planning. indeed, strategic thinking capability has been recognized as a characteristic of successful top managers in organizations. moreover, the extant literature emphasizes the fact that top level managers can be taught to think strategically. however, there is no compre...

In this paper, the concept of geo-referenced 3D map and its applications have been discussed. The major contribution is that it adopts geo-referenced images for various applications. Next generation 3D map, which is realistic, image-based, is able to provide 3D geometry measurements and various geo-location services. The methodology and development process has been introduced. Experiments for t...
