Using Service-Based Geographical Information System to Support Earthquake Research and Disaster Response

چکیده
As earthquake research has expanded beyond the geophysics community to include the requirements of rapid emergency response and disaster management, the computational infrastructure that supports this research must also expand to deliver both data and analysis tools to a wide variety of users. In this article, we investigate service-based Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies that enable an open-architecture cyberinfrastructure to provide standards-compliant data products and computing services for both earthquake research and disaster planning and response. We evaluate this framework with examples from two earthquake science projects: QuakeSim and E-DECIDER. Based on these case studies, we discuss gaps and research opportunities in further developing service-based GIS with the emerging Cloud Computing technology.
