Research on IMA-based mobile-side for spatial information service

The aim of the paper is to explore, analyze and develop an intelligent map agent based mobile-side model that supports mobile computing, with the consideration of the new structure of data management and multi-engines. Interaction and cooperation between intelligent mobile devices and service center, integration of existing technologies and exploitation of intelligent mobile computing provide the prospect to develop an intelligent mobile-side model for spatial information service, which satisfies requirements from many fields. Some systems are designed and implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model.
