Application of Visual Modeling Technique to the Sudan Investment GIS Model
In this paper, visual modeling technique was introduced to generate a prototype GIS model for investment projects in Sudan. The modeling approach is implemented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as notation and the Unified Process (UP) of object-oriented software development as methodologica...

| description | In this paper, visual modeling technique was introduced to generate a prototype GIS model for investment projects in Sudan. The modeling approach is implemented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as notation and the Unified Process (UP) of object-oriented software development as methodological process. The prototype model was developed for the purpose of providing the correct answer for the question “Where best to invest in what?”By investigating the resulting prototype model, visual modeling approach has proved to be significantly functional for modeling GIS projects populated with large volumes of data, especially when characterized by data diversity and heterogeneity. Keywords: Visual modeling, Unified modeling language, Unified process, GIS |
