This work presents a panorama of GIS integration in Spatial Statis- tics environments. It highlights the current needs of communities considering such integration. Spatial Statistics is treated in a context focused on the use of computational tools. A review of types of integration is accomplished and a new approach is proposed integrating the statistical software R and the GIS library TerraLib. 1. Introduction Software technology is constantly evolving. Computers are becoming faster, and software projects must follow the availability of resources. This scenario favors greater complexity of software projects allowing multidisciplinary programs to combine research in several knowledge areas, like medicine, agronomy and civil engineering, among others. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are an example of a multidisciplinary soft- ware. GIS comprise knowledge in areas such as cartography, databases and software en- gineering, among others. They are capable to manipulate several complex georeferenced data structures. In practice, statistical analysis are often necessary to extract useful infor- mation from the available data. For instance, methods of spatial analysis are particularly relevant to GIS which, in general, have limited capability to perform such analysis.

  • An Adaptive Package Architecture for Corporate GIS
    An adaptive package architecture for corporate GIS Andrés Pazos, José Poveda, Michael Gould Department of Information Systems (LSI), Universitat Jaume I E-12071 Castellón, Spain [email protected] {albalade, gould}@uji.es SUMMARY We introduce a flexible software architecture that overcomes some of the common problems found in corporate GIS environments, especially in the public sector. This three-tier architecture defines a set of software packages that are composed at the server side in response to the needs of each user. The kernel and n external packages are downloaded and configured at run-time, with a middleware layer handling authentication and versioning. To demonstrate the proposed architecture, we present a practical development use case that facilitates the composition of separate free software packages in the GIS domain. KEYWORDS: Distributed corporate GIS, network-based GIS architecture, component-based system INTRODUCTION Corporate GIS are multi-participant, multi-user computing environments, and while they are not necessarily complex (often just a single server and simple client applications) they do tend to be difficult to support due to the large number of users, working in multiple, geographically dispersed offices. This complicates practical tasks such as data sharing among departments, system installations, upgrades and routine maintenance. Each of potentially thousands of users may have specific requirements based on their capacity to use the GIS, and requirements regarding hardware and software configurations: one size does not fit all. Status quo has been that system administrators are forced to install custom upgrades and extensions one workstation at a time, either that or offer all users the same monolithic package to be downloaded remotely.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Abstract The nature of vector data is relatively constant, and it is revised less frequently as compared to remotely sensed earth observation data. Remote sensing images are being collected nowadays every 15 minutes from satel- lites such as Meteosat. In the coming years, very high spatial resolution data is expected to be available freely and frequently. Integrated GIS and remote sensing spatial analysis methods have the ability to incorporate different data sources to find attribute associations and patterns of change for knowledge discovery and change detection. GIS-based data such as vec- tor data and DEM are overlayed with image data and results are taken up in a GIS for further processing and analysis.

  • Terralib: an Open Source GIS Library for Spatio-Temporal Databases
    TerraLib: An open source GIS library for spatio-temporal databases GILBERTO C‰MARA1, RICARDO CARTAXO SOUZA1, ANTÓNIO MIGUEL MONTEIRO1, KARINE REIS FERREIRA1, LBIA VINHAS1 , GILBERTO RIBEIRO DE QUEIROZ1, MARCELO TÈLIO DE CARVALHO2, MARCO ANTONIO CASANOVA2 1DPI/INPE- Image Processing Division, National Institute for Space Research, Brazil 2TECGRAF/PUC-RIO œ Computer Graphics Group, Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil {gilberto, cartaxo, miguel, karine, lubia, gribeiro}@dpi.inpe.br {tilio, casanova}@tecgraf.puc-rio.br Abstract. The GIScience community currently lacks a comprehensive set of open- source tools for the development of new ideas and rapid prototyping. With this motivation, this work describes TerraLib, an open-source GIS software library that extends object-relational DBMS technology to handle spatio-temporal data types. The library includes: (a) support for different DBMS, including Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL; (b) an Open GIS compliant spatial feature data model; (c) support for different temporal models (events, moving objects, cell spaces, modifiable objects); (d) facilities for spatial, temporal and attribute queries on the database; (e) dynamic modelling in generalized cell spaces; (e) handling of large image data sets with indexing and efficient visualization; (e) support for generic GIS programming with iterators over spatio- temporal data structures; (f) spatial analysis algorithms, such as space-time clustering tests, regionalization methods, and geographically weighted regression; (i) support for persistent visualization attributes with the concepts of —themes“ and —views“. As a research tool, TerraLib aims at enabling the collaborative development of GIS prototypes that include recent advances in GIScience. On a practical side, TerraLib enables quick development of custom-built applications using spatio-temporal databases.
