Masatoshi Arikawa, Yahiko Kambayashi, Kai Hiroshi · Theory and Applications of GIS · 1997
This paper discusses benefits and principles of using display agents for name placement as basic components of geographic maps. The display agents can decide their behavior depending on their circumstances. Display agents are important for applications of hypermedia systems to overlay incrementally pieces of graphic information as layers. Furthermore, display agents can realize concurrent work environments with less idling time for both users and computer systems.
