Minneapolis, MN – April 9, 2008 – ObjectFX®, a leader in delivering dynamic spatiotemporal and geospatial tools and business rules, announced that it has released its newest 3.0 version of SpatialRules, as part of the growing suite of ObjectFX geospatial software. SpatialRules is a service-oriented middleware component designed to manage streams of spatial and temporal data generated by location-aware devices, sensors, and other automated and manual collection systems. Traditional Geographic Information Systems (GIS) vendors have failed to address the need for a scalable, open framework for spatiotemporal rule creation and processing, leaving most customers with the need to develop custom or “one-off” solutions that are expensive to build, difficult to maintain and not scalable. SpatialRules3.0 strengthens the company’s ability to help customers intelligently manage the flood of location-based information that faces many organizations in government and the private sector. SpatialRules customers include commercial transportation and supply chain logistics; government homeland security, logistics and law enforcement; [...]
