Resumen

The integration of geospatial-analysis models is crucial for simulating complex geographic processes and phenomena. However, compared to non-geospatial models and traditional geospatial models, geospatial-analysis models face more challenges owing to extensive geographic data processing and complex computations involved. One core issue is how to eliminate model heterogeneity to facilitate model combination and capability integration. In this study, we propose a containerized service-based integration framework named GeoCSIF, specifically designed for heterogeneous-geospatial-analysis models. Firstly, by designing the model-servicized structure, we shield the heterogeneity of model structures so that different types of geospatial-analysis models can be effectively described and integrated based on standardized constraints. Then, to tackle the heterogeneity in model dependencies, we devise a prioritization-based orchestration method, facilitating optimized combinations of large-scale geospatial-analysis models. Lastly, considering the heterogeneity in execution modes, we design a heuristic scheduling method that establishes optimal mappings between models and underlying computational resources, enhancing both model stability and service performance. To validate the effectiveness and progressiveness of GeoCSIF, a prototype system was developed, and its integration process for flood disaster models was compared with mainstream methods. Experimental results indicate that GeoCSIF possesses superior performance in model management and service efficiency.
