“…Future research should be undertaken so that the application is able to support a large number of users and still give good performance [51]. Scalability should be considered and techniques such as load balancing, compression, caching and indexing techniques [7] for the database could be investigated to improve the performance utilizing the latest geocomputing technologies, such as spatial cloud computing [52].…”

Important information pertaining to emergencies and responses to the emergencies is often distributed across numerous Internet sites. In the event of a disaster like an earthquake, rapid access to such information is critical. At such moments the general public usually has a hard time navigating through numerous sites to retrieve and integrate information, and this may severely affect our capability to make critical decisions in a timely manner. Common earthquake mashups often lack relevant information like locations of first responders and routing to important facilities (e.g. hospitals and fire stations) which could save important time and lives. To address the challenges, we developed an Earthquake Information Mashup prototype. This prototype demonstrates a mashup approach to providing a Web visualization of real-time earthquake monitoring and complementary information, such as traffic conditions, the location of important facilities and routing to them. It also offers users the ability to communicate local condition. Users are thus able to better integrate information from various near real-time sources, obtain better situational awareness, and make smarter informed critical decisions.

“…Figure 5 describes the integration of flow information coming from a web-enabled sensor into GIS layer as web service through XML-based parsing. Similarly, to optimise the performance on live data discovery, integration and utilisation, Zhenlong et al (2011) proposed a methodology to integrate the services using an AJAX (Asynchronous JAvaScript and eXtensible Markup Language)-based synchronous multi-catalogue search mechanism to enhance the searching performance; a service capabilities clearinghouse to enable seamless and high-performance integration and an service-oriented architecture to make the framework reusable and interoperable by deploying layer-based services to serve the integrated services through a standard interface (Zhenlong et al 2011). Cloud computing could be one of the technologies to enable integration of real-time data such as traffic management and geosciences.…”

Geospatial technologies are emerging as one of the most promising environments for development of emergency management framework. Geospatial technologies such as Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems integrated with valuable near/real-time field information can provide a comprehensive platform for emergency management. Satellite imagery, vector database, Location Based Services and ancillary data having the relevant attribute information with access and query tools helps the disaster manager to analyse the required information for relief operations. However, the conceptual design of the database, integration procedures, development of decision support functions and dissemination of information integrating real-time information from the field are very important issues in development framework for emergency management. There are some technological challenges in the emergency response for deriving the required outputs such as damage assessment, evacuation planning, situation monitoring, information dissemination, and coordination of resource and logistic planning. This article provides a framework for the integration of various multi-disciplinary technologies for addressing emergency management.

“…Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript +XML) model is one of them [12,13]. It seems that these technologies have renewed the main objective of the Web development community which is to create applications that are powerful and responsive, like any desktop based application, having though the advantage of accessibility via the WWW.…”

Virtual Globes such as Google Earth TM , revolutionize the way scientists conduct their research and the way the general public use geospatial-related data and information. Improvement in the processing power and storage capacities of computers, along with the increased Internet accessibility and connectivity, has supported the usage of Virtual Globes technologies. Even more, software releases of freely downloadable Virtual Globes, such as Google Earth and NASA World Wind, has sparked an enormous public interest and increased people's awareness of spatial sciences. In this study, the Virtual Globes (VG) revolution is discussed and a client-server Graphical User Interface (GUI) application is presented. The developed application enables Google Earth TM Application Program Interface and activates spatial analysis, through enhanced JavaScripts and Visual Basic script codes. The main scope was to present the methodology followed during geological modeling along with the application capabilities when handling with data derived from digitized geological maps and field measurements.
