Web-based Mapping Services

( HTTP://MAP.SDSU.EDU  )


Currently, the GIS industry is developing several software packages to provide on-line mapping functions, such as ESRI’s ArcIMS, INTERGRAPH’s GeoMedia Web Map, and SmallWorld’s Internet Application Server. These software packages adopt different network technologies and software platforms. The architecture of web servers and the design of map display engines are also different among these packages. This research will evaluate their performances and implementation procedures by comparing their response time, client capacities, network communications, and mapping functions.
