SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Geontics provides development of GIS components and applications for challenges defined by the unique nature of the solution and/or by the new, innovative and unique character of the functionality being required. Our development services are based on our experience in prototyping and developing GIS functionality for a diverse range of end-uses and usage contexts.
SCOPE We develop GIS-centered applications independently or in collaboration with specialised partners in order to be able to respond to a wider and non-standard range of requirements. We target three main development areas:
- Core GIS functionality for components and applications addressing the objectives and challenges described in our profile page
- User interfaces for GIS-based applications aiming to enhance the ability of users to understand, decide and react to problems and situations embedded in a geospatial context
- Integration of GIS functionality with inteligent components for situation analysis, decision-making and planning
APPLICATION DOMAINS One-size-fits-all is not the norm for specialised geographic applications which aim to deliver functionality in an effective manner. Depending on the complexity of the application, the development process needs to attend to domain-driven requirements in order to ensure performance and usability. In the same way in which map representations vary depending on the type of information being rendered, applications are equally sensitive to the type, structure and use of geographic information. This is even more true when information is meant to support 'external' intelligent functions for situation analysis, decision-making and planning.
We take on development challenges from a wide-range of application domains. Our ability to deliver is based on the effort we make to gain an in-depth understanding of the domain before we proceed with the development process. Our team's experience includes the development of intelligent GIS functionality in domains such as
- sensor fusion
- event analysis
- situation-driven customisation of information streams
- logistics planning
- risk analysis
- situation rendering on mobile devices
- semantic linking of geographic information
- user interface design for highly dynamic activity environments mapped against a geographic background
