Title
Web-Based Access to Distributed High-Performance Geographic Information Systems for Decision Support
Abstract
Applications that use GIS for decision support can be enhanced by use of high-performance computers, broadband networks and mass data stores. We describe efforts in integrating together these powerful resources to provide useful services to Web-based clients for applications including environmental analysis for agricultural planning and land management; satellite and photo-reconnaissance image analysis for national defence; and emergency services planning and response. We focus on Web, Java and CORBA technologies and discuss the issues we have encountered in implementing prototype distributed geographic information systems incorporating ``active'' digital libraries, which provide remote data processing as well as remote data access.
