Abstract

Geographical information systems (GIS) deal with large volume of datasets. Hence, one of the main concerns on Web GIS is related to performance issues, as these datasets need to migrate, as fast as possible, from server to client tiers. Therefore, in order to maximize performance on Web GIS it is necessary to apply optimization techniques. This paper discusses some of these optimization techniques and evaluates them in a Web GIS with a real application. The results obtained demonstrate how each of the optimization techniques used could help on improving the overall performance
