WebGIS Design & Implementation for Pest Life-cycle & Control Simulation Management: The Case of Olive-fruit Fly.

Abstract: This work presents an integrated web geographical information system aiming at managing the simulation of the pests’ life-cycle and control in a “Software as a Service” fashion. The approach adopted herein assumes that simulation processes take place in black-box functions and focuses on the management of all related information through thin clients such as common Internet browsers. In addition, in the proposed service a small framework is designed and implemented aiming at inherently handling the associated geographical data of the service in a visual manner.
