Nowadays there is a wide range of applications for WebGIS which can add great value to modern economic, and building WebGIS system for specific scenarios is the common requirement of the industry. While currently separate WebGIS systems are deployed at different sites and operated by different owners, each of which has the whole set of functionalities of WebGIS, and thus introduce high cost of development and maintenance, which is a waste of resources as most of the functionalities are the same or similar. An edge computing based WebGIS architecture is proposed in the paper to meet the need of customization by applying the idea of SaaS. In this distributed architecture, the resource load is reasonably balanced between the server and the browser, which improves the overall performance of the system. Also it utilizes edge computing to reduce the pressure on the server by sharing map tiles among WebGIS clients. The proposed WebGIS system can not only be well customized and personalized as it is edge computing base, but also be well usable for large number of visits due to its distributed feature. The experiments show 5 concurrent requests per second, as well as response speed increases by more than 38.6% against traditional deployment.

As one of the commonly used data mining algorithms, K-means has the advantage of fast clustering speed, but the disadvantage is that it is less effective for clustering non-spherical data. An improved K-means algorithm (IK-means) is proposed to enhance clustering efficiency for non-spherical data. The original dataset is clustered into a relatively larger number of high-density sub-clusters, and the final result is obtained by merging connected sub-clusters respectively. The connectivity among sub-clusters is evaluated by the sub-clusters density and the nearest distance class between sub-clusters. By testing on University of California, Irvine(UCI) datasets and several other artificial simulation datasets, the comparison of proposed IK-means algorithm against DBSCAN, KGFCM shows its clustering capability for data of arbitrary shape. The clustering Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) value for 72,000 sizes data is 24% higher than DBSCAN, and 95.2% higher than KGFCM. For larger datasets, the IK-means algorithm is faster than DBSCAN and KGFCM.
Clustering is an important part of artificial intelligence and is widely used in data mining, pattern recognition, natural language processing, computer vision and other aspects. Clustering algorithms are complex and difficult to master. In order to make learning easier and more interesting, a visual clustering experiment is designed. The first is the introduction of clustering algorithms and clustering indicators; then basic experiments are designed to show the working principle and clustering characteristics of each algorithm through the visualization of the clustering process and the visualization of the clustering results, and introduce the self-generated artificial data to the method to verify the characteristics of the algorithm; the last is the application experiment, through the face clustering and image segmentation experiments to improve the students' interest in learning.
WebGIS has a wide range of application requirements, but development and application require high labor and resource costs. In order to solve this contradiction, a SaaS mode WebGIS system is proposed. Through the statistical summary of various application scenarios, the system provides a variety of geographic information atomic services to choose from. Tenants can freely combine these services to implement a WebGIS system that meets their needs. The user interface is implemented by an online HTML editing system, and the data structure is self-made through a metadata service, and the business logic is self-made through service assembly and business rules. Business rules are ultimately done through event processing by client-side JavaScript. Through the establishment of an instance, the feasibility of SaaS mode WebGIS system is verified, and users can build WebGIS system according to their own needs
