Geographical Information Systems for Dengue Surveillance

Geographical Domain and Geographical Information Systems

In the eld of geography, we have beenexamining the contribution of the morpho-genetic rep-resentation to the comprehension of the cycle: reality,representation, model, reality. A distinction is madebetween map and geomap based on the notion of locus-object. 1. Foundations and limits of cartographic rep-

Real-Time Geographical Information Systems for ITS

Combined research in the fields of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), transportation modelling and traffic systems has in fact finally reached the point where paths should overlap and continue in better unison between these different domains. This paper introduces methodological and experimental results of several integrated projects that include traffic monitoring systems, GIS and several...

Geographical Asynchronous Information Access for Distributed Systems

Non-relational databases are the common means of data storage in the Cloud, and optimizing the data access is of paramount importance into determining the overall Cloud system performance. In this paper, we present GAIA, a novel model for retrieving and managing correlated geo-localized data in the cloud environment. We survey and compare the existing models used mostly in Geographical Informat...

Geographical Information Systems An Overview

Although many GIS have been successfully implemented, it has become quite clear that two-dimensional maps with most complex contours and color schema cannot precisely present multidimensional and dynamic spatial phenomena. Most GISs in use today have not been designed to support multimedia data and therefore have very limited capability due to the large data volumes, very rich semantics and ver...
