Abstract

Abstract: Task simulation is important in planning of national defense facility system. An architecture with a simulation model system and task data management system scheme is proposed to combine geo-processing service of traditional GIS and Agent simulation to overcome the shortness in temporal analysis and task simulation of traditional GIS. Potential benefits include: shareable simulations, rich spatial analysis resources, and high credibility. Based on that, an experimental Spatial-Agent simulation prototype is developed with WebGIS technology. Taking a transportation task as an example, the feasibility of the design is verified.

Key words: WebGIS, spatial agent, simulation service, facility system
