The terms ‘dynamic GIS’ and ‘mobile GIS’ have been around for some time. For example, back in 1990 Perez-Trejo suggested that a dynamic GIS could help analyse the impacts of climatic change on complex ecosystems. According to the author, climatic changes cannot be assessed by studying one aspect of the system alone, but a dynamic GIS might contribute to the understanding of the dynamic interactions of physical and ecological subsystems within an integrated framework (Perez-Trejo, 1990). Or in 1995, when Olsen described the use of an enhanced version of the Highways Works Order Costing System (HiWOCS) by the UK Gloucester City Council's highways department; the system was integrated into a pen-based, mobile GIS for the management of roads, paving, etc. The mobile GIS allowed the location of faults on-site and was linked directly into the council's financial system. Additional elements allowed cyclic inspections providing a link from initial fault detection and an issued works order through to final inspection (Olsen, 1995). However, despite this early start, current research is generating particularly exciting results both in terms of dynamic and mobile GIS as can be seen in the different chapters of this book. This last chapter aims to summarise the main key findings, recent advances and opportunities (Section 15.1) and identify key problems, threats or constraints (Section 15.2). The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research (Section 15.3) and recommendations for future practice (Section 15.4).
