Abstract:
Spatial simulations and models are often expert tools which solve a specific spatial problem or model a spatial process. Exposing theses analysis capabilities as a web service is a huge benefit to users of web-based Geographic Information Systems (GISs). The Web Processing Service (WPS) standard was developed to realize these services. In the Geothermal Information System for Potential Studies in Subsurface Soil Layers (GeTIS) project, several complex analysis tools should be exposed as a WPS service and, simultaneously, follow the concept of well-conditioned, scalable services. In this paper, we describe our implemented backend, which can be used to bind expert tools and facade them with the WPS interface. The architecture rests on different communication mechanisms such as Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) and message queuing as well as geospatial services such as Web Map Service (WMS).
