2009 Developer Summit

Flex, REST, WMS and Distributed Processing for Economic Development

—Robert Cheetham, Avencia

Priority Places is an interactive mapping application designed to strengthen quality economic development investment in the City of Asheville. The online software enables business owners, citizens, or government agencies to weigh multiple geographic factors and generate a map that highlights optimal locations for their activities. The application was needed to support highperformance execution of raster map algebra functions while providing an interactive and responsive user interface. It also needed to be deployed using ArcIMS, but support transfer to ArcGIS Server in the future. The innovative system architecture combines a REST API, OGC WMS, and a distributed processing system with a user interface constructed using the Adobe Flex system. Business and demographic reporting is provided with Esri Business Analyst Online Web services. The presentation will discuss the architecture and demonstrate the application.
