DGIS has open architecture distributed computing, and high level mobility in mobile application and services. The Intranet involves in integrating a number of functions that are distributed physically or logically. Such distribution makes many challenges like inconsistent information, multiple information sources, decentralized control, conditional operation with failure and many other problems. To interact with such systems and tackling mentioned problems in DGIS, new paradigm of software engineering and artificial intelligence combination has been introduced as agent technology. This paper introduces a new solution for distributed GIS using mobile agent technology. The concepts have been implemented in a case study and the results of test are evaluated scientifically. |
