Traditional GISystems are no longer appropriate for modern distributed, heterogeneous network environments due to their closed architecture, and their lack of interoperability, reusability, and flexibility. Distributed GIServices can provide broader capabilities and functions for data management, browsing, and exchange. This paper introduces a dynamic architecture for distributing GIServices. T...

This work deals with use of Open Source technologies for implementing mobile GIS solutions, in order to face the need of moving GIS applications from desktop or web platforms to mobile platforms like PDAs, smartphones, etc. accordingly with the great and growing diffusion of mobile devices and location based services. The implemented mobile GIS is a client-server solution based on a Java servle...

In this paper we present a desaggregate modelling of a public transport network, integrated within a GIS. It is our hope to construct an expressive and friendly user interface for decision making. Accessibility measure and exploratory analysis methods will be applied to the public transport network of the medium sized French city of Besancon (117 000 inhabitants)..

The paper presents a method for integrating neural networks, GIS and Cellular Automata (CA) that can be used in land use planning for simulating alternative development patterns according to different planning objectives. Neural networks are used to simplify model structures and facilitate the determination of parameter values. Unlike traditional CA models, the proposed model does not require u...

This research mainly focuses on the use of Geographical Information System in management of power distribution system. Traditional management system is not only manual but also has flaws such as difficulties in searching previous records and updating them, which is very time consuming task. Using GIS, Roads and buildings of UET Lahore have been mapped. Another layer of HT/LT network of UET Laho...

The growing diffusion of pervasive collaboration environments and technical advancement of sensing technologies have fostered the development of a new wave of online services whose functionalities are based on users’ physical position. Thanks to the widespread diffusion of mobile devices (e.g. cell phones), many services can be greatly enriched with data reporting where people are, how they are...
