FAST: A fully asynchronous and status-tracking pattern for geoprocessing services orchestration
2014, Computers and GeosciencesCitation Excerpt :To build large-scale and complex geospatial simulation and analysis models, scattered geoprocessing services distributed on the web are integrated into a geoprocessing services workflow (Brauner et al., 2009). The emergence and spread of these geoprocessing service workflows improves the interoperation and collaboration of distributed geoprocessing functions, which significantly enhances the capacity to derive geoinformation and knowledge over a network (Zhao et al., 2012b). As a special kind of Web Services Orchestration (WSO) (Peltz, 2003) in the geospatial domain, Geoprocessing Service Orchestration (GSO) provides a unified and flexible way to implement a cross-application, long-lived, and multi-step geoprocessing service workflow by coordinating geoprocessing services collaboratively.
PlanetServer: Innovative approaches for the online analysis of hyperspectral satellite data from Mars
2014, Advances in Space ResearchCitation Excerpt :Google Earth Engine for example uses cloud computing to enable analysis of 40 years of Landsat satellite data (Regalado, 2010). Zhao et al. (2012a,b) describe the emergence of a ‘Geoprocessing Web’, a “framework of interoperable geoprocessing tools, allowing geoscientific collaboration”. Such an infrastructure would save scientists time-consuming and expensive processing steps on their own computer.
A WebGIS decision-support system for slope stability based on limit-equilibrium modelling
2013, Engineering GeologyCitation Excerpt :Whereas some of the OGC standards such as web mapping services (WMS) have already been successfully integrated within research projects, WPS have received less attention by practitioners and the scientific community. However, a recently published special issue of the journal Computers and Geosciences (Zhao et al., 2012) underlined the capabilities of WPS and more applications can be expected for the future. This paper presents a new procedure for physically-based slope stability modelling within a web-based GIS environment, and illustrates the benefits of this flexible and time-saving approach and represents one of the first applications of the OGC standard web processing service in landslide research.
