GeoS4S Module Geo-Application Development

Abstract

The rapid development of GIS has enabled the combination or integration of different methods, algorithms, and software (models). This lead to the creation of different types of commercial and open source applications (web, mobile, desktop) that are used for data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization. This teaching module covers geo-application development issues with the focus on mobile and desktop applications development which include tools, models, scripts, and extensions. The module prepares the student to explore the existing application and design a new one for data collection and their automatic processing. This paper describes the learning objectives, lesson content, learning activities and evaluation scheme for this module.
