Abstract

GIS systems are ubiquitous distributed systems,since geo-spatial information adheres to almosteverything. Considering the characteristics of GIS,the following four design-decision issues areparticularly crucial: transactional mode (synchronousversus asynchronous), service granularity (fine-grainedversus coarse-grained), delivery manner(chunk versus stream), and transmission formats(GML versus binary). In this paper, we have sharedour experience in making choices in these fourdimensions.
