[jathavaan]

Purpose

Working notes for Chapter 3: Related Work of the master thesis
"Benchmarking Cloud-Native and Traditional Geospatial Technologies."

Sections covered

• 3.1 Geospatial format and engine benchmarks (Jackpine, Pandey et al. 2018, Holmes 2023, Flatgeobuf 2024)
• 3.2 Benchmarking methodology for data systems (Beyer et al. 2015, JCGM terminology, Chen & Revels 2016, Hoefler & Belli 2015, cloud variability studies, Vargha–Delaney effect size)
• 3.3 Research gaps (network transfer absent, no cloud-native vs. traditional vector benchmark, no single-node vs. distributed comparison)

Key topics to document

• Three research gaps motivating RQ1, RQ2, RQ3
• Methodological gap: absence of effect-size reporting and uncertainty quantification in geospatial benchmarks
• Sequential stopping rule as methodological contribution (cited in §3.2)
• Bibliography additions: Efron & Tibshirani 1993, Georges et al. 2007
