The paper by Wang, Anselin, Bhaduri, Crosby, Goodchild, Liu, and Nyerges takes a holistic approach to addressing the importance of integration by articulating the vision of the National Science Foundation CyberGIS Project and describing the progress and roadmap of the project focusing on creating and Funding Information: To address these challenges, cyberGIS represents a new-generation GIS based on the synthesis of advanced cyberinfrastructure, geographic information science, and spatial analysis and modeling (Wang 2010). Exciting frontiers centred on cyberGIS have been recognized to establish integrated, scalable, and sustainable geospatial software ecosystems, and underpin data-rich geospatial research and education. For example, in October 2010, the US National Science Foundation funded a 5-year major initiative with a number of institutions and multiple international partners involved to investigate {\textquoteleft}CyberGIS Software Integration for Sustained Geospatial Innovation{\textquoteright} (http://cybergis.org). The purpose of this IJGIS special issue is to gather a cohesive set of original papers that describe the state of the art advances revolving around cyberGIS, with a particular focus placed on gaining a better understanding of the complexity of integrated and scalable geospatial software ecosystems.",
