Abstract

Demands for web mapping services are increasing worldwide since the rise of Internet which became a growing medium to disseminate geospatial information. However, these services need to be more reliable, accessible and personalized. They also need to be improved in terms of data format, interoperability and on-the-fly processing and transfer. In this paper we propose a multiagent-based approach to generate maps on-the-fly in the context of web mapping applications. Our approach is abls to adapt the contents of maps in real-time to users’ needs and display terminals. It also speeds up map generation and transfer. Our approach which is called progressive automatic map generation based on layers of interest, combines different techniques: multiagent systems, cartographic generalization and multiple representations.
