Supporting Coastal and Marine Monitoring by Remotely Accessing Data Using Spatial Fusion and WAP A Conceptual Model Presenter : Sam Ng’ang’a Co-Presenter : Aldino Campos
Habitat for endangered species • Flood attenuation • Oil and gas • Water treatment • Tourism • Construction • Groundwater recharge • Species breeding and resting areas • Recreational and commercial fishing Value of Coastal and Marine Resources

A Web Server:to serve the data access web pages Orbix™ Runtime: lets the Spatial Fusion applet and the Data Services communicate across the Internet. Catalog Service: This service lists all of the available Fusion Data Services. Fusion Data Services: registered with the OrbixWeb™ Implementation Repository and containing configuration files (data service name and location). Configuration Utilities: CARIS MapSmith™ and CARIS dbMaps™ - customize the display of CARIS, Oracle 8i Spatial, or Shapefile data. CARIS Spatial Fusion™

User point of View Data rates are too slow Connection setup takes too long Service is too expensive (charged when viewing web page) Technical point of View complete traffic channel is allocated for a single user for the entire call period. Internet traffic is bursty- inefficient resource utilization Spatial Information and Wireless Access Global System for Mobiles (GSM) - Public land mobile network (9.6 Kbytes/sec)
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)-bearer service for GSM that improves wireless access to packet data networks(100kbytes/sec). Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) - future network (2 Mbytes/Sec) www.comsoc.org Wireless Networks and Services
The AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator) Service lets Spatial Fusion track vehicles in real time. The AVL Service currently works with Sierra Wireless Modems. The GPS information is received via Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol. Similar Applications
Researchers at UNB Computer Science Department have successfully investigated the use of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) to make it possible for Internet clients to access, display and save real-time geospatial information of a mobile agent in a working field. Similar Applications
The research utilises Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) along with eXtensible Markup Language (XML) tags. We invite you to visit the GEOIDE conference at The Lord Beaverbrook, Fredericton, New Brunswick on 21st and 22nd June 2001 for more information Similar Applications
Coastal and Marine Resources are important Information is important for decision making and (Good) Marine Governance Advances in WAP technologies indicate that it is possible to wirelessly disemminate marine information The Thin Client Microbrowser found on mobile devices is “close” to the Spatial Fusion™ Web Mapping Solution Summary
Spatial Fusion™ Infrastructure is being used for wired and wireless retrieval of information 3G wireless access will allow wireless retrieval and dissemination of “broadband” information. Research is needed to (further) fuse the web-mapping and WAP technologies together Summary
