ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: WebGIS has become a popular tool for providing data, information, and other services through computer networks including both the Intranet and Internet. Performance emerges as a critical challenge when large numbers of users, complex processing, and large volumes of datasets are involved. The challenge is related to limited computing and networking devices, small bandwidth networks, as well as many other factors. This chapter addresses performance issues in a systematic manner from the aspects of architecture, bottlenecks and performance factors, performance improving techniques, and performance solutions.
