1. Administration: - This module is for the project specific administration as well as the user administration. It is responsible for registering and administering all the project specific resources such as Symbols, Fonts etc. It provides a central Project Administration and is responsible for maintaining a specific user level of security. It is possible to define certain users for a project with specific usage rights (as Read only, editing, or even a View or area specific). It is also possible to track the changes made by a user in a specific period. By this, it’s very easy to monitor production and quality of a user and project as well, on day-to-day basis.
2. Modeling: - Modeling is the unique feature of PARIS technology. It provides a facility to create object, define a class and set the rules for the object. These rules can be multi layer. A class can be defined based on appearance and behavior of the object. It can be interrelate with real world scenario as load balancing for an electrical network, uninterrupted power supply for any particular area etc.
3. Data capturing: - As it is suggested by its name, it is meant for capturing the data by using PARIS operating system which is capable to read the data from Microstation environment and converting this “entity” based data to an “object” as par the rule defined for this class in PARIS Modeling Module.
4. Analysis and Data Display: - This module is for Query, analysis and displaying the result. It is a web enabled Module. For query and analysis user need not to have PARIS client. Only requirement is Microsoft Internet explorer and a SVG viewer. The SVG viewer is freely downloadable.

Corporation Information Management System: An Overview
CIMS has been designed in such a way so that it can be used by Corporation’s decision makers, Maintenance engineers and by government’s other department also such as Town planning, Police and Fire control etc. Use of CIMS is not only confined to various government departments but it can be use by the Public to get the information about Bus routes, finding nearest facilities such as hospitals, Schools, etc. Corporation Information Management System (CIMS) has been divided into four functional modules. They are

1. Revenue
2. Civic facilities
3. Water Network
4. Road Network

1) Revenue: - The revenue module takes care of all the property tax assessment, water charges in such a way that it is very easy to find out properties that are not assessed or is not constructed as per the building approval plan. This information can also be made easily available to the public so that they can very easily get their properties assessed if they have not been assessed, as well as pay their property taxes and water charges promptly. This module would be particularly useful for cash strapped municipal corporations.

2) Civic Facilities - The civic facilities module of CIMS is concerned with managing and administration of all the civic facilities owned and operated by the municipal corporation like:

• Street Lights
• Light Poles
• Garbage collection Box
• Reading Rooms
• Daily Markets
• Bore Wells
• Hand Pumps
• Public Fountains etc.

This module will be particularly useful to plan and allocate resources scientifically such that it benefits the maximum number of people with minimum cost incurred

3) Road Network - The road network module of CIMS is a value addition to CIMS, such that it benefits the public by plotting for them the shortest path, bus route within the municipal corporation limits. This module particularly is very useful for the tourist industry in the municipal corporations

4) Water Network - The water network module of CIMS is useful in managing the pipe water network in corporations. It is a hydrological model that takes care of technical issues in water networks like supply balancing, the optimum path for laying of new water pipes etc
CIMS: Applied Model

CIMS Salient Features: -
Apart from standard features of any GIS solution CIMS have following specific features.

Tax Reporter: - Tax reporter gives the information about the properties whose taxes are due in any area or ward at any given point of time. This tool can also be used to verify whether buildings have been built according to the approved plan or whether there has been any unauthorized construction.

Bus Route Finder: - This tool is useful in directing tourists and newcomers to the city to find the bus routes, timings and fares for their various destinations. The location of bus stops and the frequency of the service also can be known.

Garbage Collection Route Allotter: - This tool is used to allocate the optimal garbage collection routes based on variable resources (vehicles) on a day-to-day basis. For example, today if the corporation has only 8 vehicles (different load capacity) available for garbage collection out of the total 10, the tool can be used to plot the routes for all the available vehicles individually so that no area has been missed out inspite of the shortfall in vehicles. The tool is also equipped to provide the length of each route as well as the number of trips for a vehicle.

Garbage Bin Capacity Analyzer: - The Garbage Bin Capacity Analyzer can be used to relocate the position of existing garbage bins based on their capacity and proximity to the public. This tool can also be used for deciding the capacity of a new garbage box at any purposed site.

Water Supply Balancing: - The water supply balancing tool is used to calculate the optimum pressure to be maintained in the pipes for the supply to reach the furthest parts of the water pipe network. Through CIMS it is capable to increase or decrease the pressure in any particular area, by identifying the location of the proposed pressure control valve. This tool can also be used to trace underground leaks, unauthorized tapping of water from the network.

SCADA interface for Automatic Street Light operation: - The SCADA interface for Automatic Street Light Operation can be used to generate a report on the functioning or otherwise of individual street lights through the collection and analyzing of real time power consumption data. This helps in instantaneous replacement of faulty streetlights.
