Designing Adaptive Spatio-temporal Information Systems for Natural Hazard Risks with ASTIS

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4295))

Abstract

This paper presents ASTIS, a framework for the design and generation of adaptive spatio-temporal information systems for the historical study of natural hazard risks. ASTIS is based on a modular architecture in which every module can be personalized by the designer in order to meet the needs of different kinds of users. Personalizations are performed through a model-driven approach, each module is generated from specific models, conceived by the designer. A data management module allows personalizing the content of the application via data viewpoint mechanisms. A presentation module allows designing personalized interactive visualizations. Finally, an adaptation module is in charge of performing the appropriate personalizations at runtime, in order to adapt both the content and the presentation of the information to the user characteristics.
