Abstract
This paper proposes the architectural concept of Mobile Agent-based Distributed Geographic Information System (MADGIS) for the first time to meet the requirements of GIS applications under Internet environment with limited communication bandwidth and unstable connectivity. First, the architecture of MADGIS is described, while detailed discussions focus on the structure of mobile agent facilitator and the operation process of MADGIS. Then the key techniques for MADGIS implementation are explored. And finally, an application prototype based on the MADGIS architecture is reported.
