Introduction

The objective of the ILWIS NG is to create a framework that allows a seamless integration between heterogeneous data sources and processing sources. The framework will allow us to create applications that are largely independent of the format/nature of the underlying data containers or processing sources. Particularly we are thinking about:

- Scripting environment for accessing and manipulating GIS data containers in a more “database” like way (probably anchored in Python).
- Desktop environment for integrating remote and local sources of data and processing
- Geo - Processing engine in a web server environment.
- Exploration of P2P, distributed processing, OpenCL/Cuda.

*The secondary objective is to create a UI toolbox to facilitate an easy way to create a user interface for applications using ILWIS NG . Since the advent of mobile devices the concepts of UI design has seen a lot of movement after being fairly static for the last 10 years. This is an interesting area of exploration.
