Paper Abstract:
|
Geo-Information Science (GISc) is the field of study that addresses substantive questions concerning the handling,
analysis and visualisation of spatial data. Geo-Information Systems (GIS), including software, data acquisition and
organisational arrangements, are the key technologies underpinning GISc. For research, GIS are often used in
conjunction with other technologies to form geocomputational environments or are at the core of location-based services
(LBS). Given this technological heterogeneity coupled with the complexity of spatial data and the phenomena they
represent, we discuss in this paper the applicability of the agent-oriented paradigm to GIS. However, enhanced features
are needed for agent technology to be effective in the GIS domain. In this paper we present the structure of such an
advanced feature. In particular, we present an agent based system for GIS that supports dynamic binding of plans. |
