Abstract

DOMUS is a project of the Computer Science Department of UNICAMP, Brazil, for the development of a GIS for environmental control applications using an object oriented database. This project involves experts from different areas, both in Computer Science and in Geosciences. This paper describes the results already obtained in this project, as well as the ongoing efforts to extend available GIS technology, through use of the SPRING gis.

Research partially financed by grants FAPESP and CNPq
