Accurate timely and handy field data collection is required for disaster management and emergency quick responses. In this article, we introduce web-based GIS system to collect the field data by personal mobile phone through Post Office Protocol POP3 mail server. The main objective of this work is to demonstrate real-time field data collection method to the students using their mobile phone to collect field data by timely and handy manners, either individual or group survey in local or global scale research.展开更多

Although they can provide a visual analysis platform based on GIS technology, they lack a general description in the extensibility of Web GIS for processing dynamic data,especially real-time data. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for real-time 3D visual earthquake information publishing model based on Web GIS and digital globe to improve the ability of processing real-time data in systems based on Web GIS. On the basis of the model, we implement a real-time 3D earthquake information publishing system—Eq Map3 D. The system can not only publish realtime earthquake information but also display these data and their background geoscience information in a 3D scene. It provides a powerful tool for display, analysis, and decisionmaking for researchers and administrators. It also facilitates better communication between researchers engaged in geosciences and the interested public.展开更多

In this paper, a data transfer mechanism over the Internet is proposed for real time web based applications. The mechanism incorporates the eXtensible Markup Language （XML） and Hierarchical Data Format （HDF） to provide a flexible and efficient data format. Heterogeneous transfer data is classified into light and heavy data, which are stored using XML and HDF respectively; the HDF data format is then mapped to Java Document Object Model （JDOM） objects in XML in the Java environment. These JDOM data objects are sent across computer networks with the support of the Java Remote Method Invocation （RMI） data transfer infrastructure. Client＇s defined data priority levels are implemented in RMI, which guides a server to transfer data objects at different priorities. A remote monitoring system for an industrial reactor process simulator is used as a case study to illustrate the proposed data transfer mechanism.展开更多
