Cloud computing is comparable to the utility idea in that a business organization can "connect in" to a virtual world and use the computer technology resources available on as-needed grounds. Web clients access applications running on such a console, whereas the application software and data are managed to keep on the (web) server-side. Cloud computing… Continue reading Cloud GIS- A New Paradigm for Geospatial World
One of the areas where GIS is most beneficial is aviation. The management of planes at the airport and other duties employ geographic systems. Aviation GIS must be extremely precise, effective, and dependable. For the airports and planes in general to perform smoothly, it must also operate on a real-time basis. Diverse operations can be… Continue reading Aerospace Industry As An Application Of GIS
“The earth has music for those who listen.” ? George Santayana Beauty of nature could not have been put in more apt words than this Spanish philosopher and writer. But some natural sights are too overtly beautiful to even require such aesthetic natural perception. Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and the USA is… Continue reading Image of the Day : Niagara Falls
