Abstract

Geographic modeling and simulation is an important method to resolve realistic geographic problems, and can be used to reproduce the past, predict the future, and explore the geographic laws. When dealing with comprehensive geographical problems, one single model can not meet the requirements of complex simulation, and thus model integration with existing model resource is required. Although the existing geo-simulation platform has gone through several stages of development, it still faces many problems, such as how to prepare data for models in the network environment, how to establish the logical relationships between different services, and how to control the integrated simulation in a convenient and collaborative way. This paper proposed a geo-model service integration platform in the distributed network environment. Model resources, model-related data resources and data processing methods can be encapsulated as standardized service, which could be managed by servers. When facing with realistic geographic problems, through conceptual modelling and logical modelling, the comprehensive problem could be solved collaboratively by the simulation of integrated geo-model services. At last, an example of extract the stream network through models of TAU DEM is mentioned to test the practicability of the proposed platform, the results show that the service integration platform can conduct geographic simulation and solve geo-problems.

A service integration platform for geo-simulation in the distributed network environment

Geographic modeling and simulation is an important method to resolve realistic geographic problems, and can be used to reproduce the past, predict the future, and explore the geographic laws. When dealing with comprehensive geographical problems, one single model can not meet the requirements of complex simulation, and thus model integration with existing model resource is required. Although the existing geo-simulation platform has gone through several stages of development, it still faces many problems, such as how to prepare data for models in the network environment, how to establish the logical relationships between different services, and how to control the integrated simulation in a convenient and collaborative way. This paper proposed a geo-model service integration platform in the distributed network environment.
