Our IEEE Internet Computing article Evaluating Performance in Spatial Data Infrastructures for Geoprocessing is online. Here is the abstract.
Effective and efficient Web services infrastructures for geoprocessing are essential for fields such as e-government and e-tourism. However, few model-based approaches exist that let researchers analyze and measure system implementation performance. Here, the authors present a performance evaluation of a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) implementation based on common standards. The SDI’s purpose is to compute groundwater vulnerability function. The authors study four influential performance issues: caching, network adaptation, data granularity, and communication mode.
It is part of the special issue about Web Services for Geographic Information Systems.

Fair enough, I have to pay US$ 19 to read our own article. Something should be changed in publishing scientific work.
