Abstract: This chapter will introduce a prototype of geospatial web portals, which can enable complicated GIS simulation models in a grid-computing environment (TeraGrid). This prototype demonstrates how complicated GIS simulation models can benefit from geospatial cyberinfrastructure and grid-enabled Internet GIServices. Cyberinfrastructure and grid com- puting can provide high-performance computing power to overcome the limitations of tradi- tional GIS web services and the constraints of the three-tier Internet GIServices architecture. Complicated geospatial problems and huge volume of geospatial datasets can be effectively processed and calculated under the grid-enabled web portlets. The user-friendly simulation tools on the geospatial web portal will provide geographers and geospatial scientists with a powerful tool to conduct on-line spatial analysis and GIS simulation models efficiently.
