What are some of the latest applications in the GIS technology?
GIS certifications are a good way to make you marketable for jobs. I have ESRI certifications in ArcIMS, ArcSDE, Geodatabase Design Concepts, Creating and Managing Geodatabases, Visual Basic for ESRI Software and certification for GPS Mapping for GIS with Asset Surveyor from Trimble. The latest applications in GIS technology are web services and location-based services, and wireless and mobile applications of GIS technology. Although mapping and spatial analysis remain the most important components, the present GIS trends are also moving ahead with the advancement of mainstream Information Technology (IT) industry. The importance and integration of the spatial data with the mainstream IT products, such as CRM systems, is expanding and hence knowledge of programming languages like Visual Basic and JAVA is becoming an important skill. Tell us something about your current PhD research. What do you think is the most important aspect of this research? My research is currently focused on the
