| Description | The new monitoring methods play important role in conservation of Forest Management Unit of forest stand from previous production cycle and also in protection of forest mainly in case of forest fires. The focus of solution is on line data collection and updating in the terrain. There is a requirement for client, which could be represented by PDA or eventually by sensors, the connection to the server. The distance between the server and the thin client may vary from a few hundred meters in case of mobile server to almost unlimited distance in case of the stationary server. The data compiled is being transferred between the client side and the server so the data transfer is rather low. The data volume in backward transfer is also very low (from client to server).There is no running application necessary on the client side except the internet browser. Possibly connected sensors and GPS (are served by applets and all the gathered data is being preceded on the server side. The thin is connected either to the stationary server or to the mobile server. The majority of the gathered geospatial data is processed on the repote application server according to the preset rules. This server will be placed in the LAN or Wan network environment. The possible communication could run trough mobile networks or trough transportable satellite receiver in car. The application server is accessing to the local or repote data sources and all the application logic is running on the server side. The data and applications must be accessed to the user via standard internet/internet connection. Interoperability is significantly extending the reuse possibilities of the information systems and so their value is increased. |
