Description
Summary:In the current environment, the functionality and the usage of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have grown steadily, resulting in many diversified and complex artifacts. Although there is a different GIS used for other regions with different goals, they have versatile features and requirements. So, for intensive software reuse, such as Highly Configurable System Engineering (HCSE), different techniques can be applied. Despite extensive research on Highly Configurable Systems Engineering in recent years, the same has not yet been defined in the field of GIS In this research work, we identified the requirements and capabilities for a standard product of Web-based GIS. We shared them jointly, which allowed us to regenerate many of the different objects and software variants, which will enable software engineers to configure his application. We then define the functionality and technical architecture of a highly configurable system that uses current technology to develop web-based applications. Lastly, we designed a tool to configure and assemble components to generate the desired products. Subsequently, the proposed platform is flexible to create its GIS product as per each customer's specific needs.
