Hence, the clients cannot be served with real-time response. In this paper, we propose VegaCache, a distributed in-memory caching scheme, to provide low-latency access for time-critical geospatial workloads. VegaCache has three significant characteristics. First of all, it is composed of tunable memory pools maintained by commodity cluster and thus its capacity can be increased linearly with more nodes. Moreover, a data replacement model is designed to determine loading hotspot data into and swapping out victim data from the distributed cache. In addition, we design a localized caching model to reduce data transfer delay with consideration of geographic proximity and geospatial access patterns. Comprehensive experimental results show that VegaCache is able to provide sustained I/O throughput and high efficiency access and thus could meet the requirements of geospatial applications.","PeriodicalId":286908,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116941411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two vectors record the information to judge whether the code module needs to be loaded or not. By a series of the calculation, the code modules which are very likely used by the project are selected.

There are many related researches on urban heat island effect in a single city or urban agglomeration. In this paper, MODIS land surface temperature products, maps of global urban extent, gross domestic product, and population data were used to analyze the relationship between urban heat island intensity and urban sprawl factors. The results showed that: (1) the distribution of global urban heat island intensity existed obviously spatial heterogeneity, and the dominant impact factor of urban sprawl on urban heat island intensity in different regions was different. (2) Urban heat island intensity mainly were related to the human activities (gross domestic product and population), while the impact of urban shape characteristics (urban area and urban shape index) were limited. Therefore, to a certain extent it may be possible to keep the urban heat island intensity down under well-organized urban sprawling. (3) Urban heat island intensity could not be fully explained by urban sprawl factors only, other factors such as climatic factors still played an important role.","PeriodicalId":286908,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116077688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flood control and retention capacity of the original ecosystem reduces, thus the frequency of flood disaster and extent of damage are aggravated. This article explains the close relationship between urbanization and urban flood disaster by discussing the formative factors of climate changes and urban flood disaster, and studying the formation mechanism of urban flood disaster. On the basis of studying the overall arrangement and flood control function of rivers, lakes, wetlands, and greenbelts, this article provides an idea of urban ecological flood control and analyzes the ecological flood control pattern of main urban areas of Chongqing by comprehensive utilization of GIS. The results show that the major transformation direction of main urban areas of Chongqing is transforming from cultivated land to urban construction land. Along with the completion and impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, water level of the upstream of the Yangtze River is rising continuously and there is a trend of increasing year by year in the water area of Chongqing section.","PeriodicalId":286908,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115052514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each type of object in a remotely sensed image relates to special association rules, thus association rules are important features for image classification, and the mining and rational selection of the effective rules is the key issues for accurate classification. In this paper, an approach that integrates association rules analysis and decision tree is presented and applied to object-oriented high resolution image classification. The association rules analysis is adopted for mining strong rules from an image, and the decision tree is for finding the optimal rules for classification. A Geoeye-1 image is used for experimental data. Firstly, the Geoeye-1 image is segmented, then spatial, spectral, textural, color space and band ration features are selected. The association rules in a training set are mined, and a decision tree is designed with consideration of confidence, support of mined rules, as well spectral complexity and the generation sequence of rules. The visual comparison with the results of K-nearest neighbors and accuracy estimation validate the effect of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":286908,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115392377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of carbon emissions estimation of sub-districts in Beijng, this article performs an exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) to investigate the spatial differentiation of urban carbon emissions over 2000~2010. The results confirm the assumption about the spatial autocorrelation of carbon emissions based on spatial agglomeration of population and spatial restructuring of economy. The carbon emissions in sub-districts reflect a core-periphery structure in Beijing and reveal a significant presence of spatial autocorrelation with distinct spatial clusters of high and low values of carbon emissions. However, the carbon emission centers are dissimilar with population centers due to differentiation from geographical division of labor. Overall, our results shed new light on the analysis of urban spatial structure of resource utilization and environmental impact.","PeriodicalId":286908,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123861525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The computer-supported cooperative interpretation framework, with synchronized operation mode for multi-user in different locations, is brought up to overcome the handling capacity and efficiency problem. The design plan focuses on building a feasible client/server framework for computer-supported cooperative work in LAN environment.
