Colin Henderson is a spatial solutions architect with 14 years of experience working on solutions to complex spatial problems. He is currently the Geospatial Systems Capability Lead for Atkins, one of the world's leading design, engineering, and project management consultancies. Although experienced in a wide range of proprietary GIS software, his current focus is on specializing in the integration of open source software in complex enterprise environments. His most recent projects involve the integration of GeoServer with FME Server from Safe Software and the delivery of spatial web-mapping applications through Esri's ArcGIS for the Server platform and Latitude Geographics' Geocortex framework. Colin is the Technical Architect and Lead Developer of Atkins' open source-based spatial integration platform, CIRRUSmaps, a solution built on the best breed of open source spatial software, including PostGIS and OpenLayers, with GeoServer at its heart, and designed from the ground-up for deployment in cloud environments. A self-confessed techie, Colin enjoys digging deeper to understand technology and software, and then applying this learning to create innovative solutions to problems. When possible, he likes to "pay it forward" by helping others with their problems, through contributions on GIS Stack Exchange, in particular.

Until now, we have concentrated on GeoServer's ability to serve raster and vector data from file stores and spatial databases. For a large number of use cases, rendering a map for a web application is sufficient. However, there are use cases where one might like to perform server-side spatial analysis and then render the results to the client. As soon as you mention server-side spatial analysis, most people will assume that you need to spend a small fortune to implement a cluster of ArcGIS for server instances to perform Geoprocessing operations. However, GeoServer has a number of tricks up its sleeves that can be used to perform almost any form of spatial analysis you can imagine. With a little bit of effort, GeoServer can challenge any commercial server-side spatial analysis toolkit.

In this chapter, we will look at different approaches to server-side spatial analysis that GeoServer can perform. We will cover the following topics:
