GIS Cloud Computing Methodology

Abstract

Geographic Information System (GIS) is the processes of managing, manipulating, analyzing, updating and presenting metadata according to its geographic location, to be effectively used in different aspects of life [1]. Cloud Computing allowed the utilization of all computing resources and software as required through the web in a virtual computing environment [2], [3]. Different Application software and data are provided at the (virtual) server side to be used. GIS Cloud is the future of Web GIS, with capabilities of easy and fast: collecting, processing, analyzing, updating, rectifying, publishing geospatial data through the internet. It is a web-based- GIS Application to enable all users fast, easy informed decision-making at fair price. It provides the power of desktop GIS on a web-based platform at fair cost anywhere. It offers a JavaScript Application Programming Interface (API) and a REST API, to provide GIS functionality into an application or website that can be hosted by GIS Cloud or by a third-party. In this work we are presenting a GIS-Cloud application in AL-Kamaliah region, small town of Amman suburbs to demonstrate its practicality and functionality.
