The advantages of ‘Distributed GIS’ have long been realised by GIS practitioners and researchers, for its strengths of system flexibility, reliability, scalability, processing efficiency and resources sharing. However, due to the complex network architecture and software structure, current distributed GIS (DGIS) still cannot fully accommodate distributed, heterogeneous and speedy development in dynamic computing environments. Hence, the development of a high performance DGIS system is still a challenging task. In this paper, an Agent‐based Distributed Artificial Intelligent GIS paradigm will be discussed and a Geolet‐based DGIS prototype system is provided.
