SDCC - Exhibit Hall F

DESCRIPTIONOpening Keynote – Jack DangermondPresident, EsriThe Science of Where is a new way of describing the collective work done by Esri and the GIS community. The phrase is designed to capture and communicate, in a few words, the applications of geographic science using GIS technology. It’s about applying a data-driven approach that uses geography to unlock understanding. In this context, geography provides the science and framework for organizing our knowledge. GIS provides the technical means for understanding that knowledge through data exploration, analytics, and visualization, then sharing that knowledge through dissemination. Effectively The Science of Where phrase distills what we do and why we do it. Be the first to hear Esri President Jack Dangermond’s future vision for GIS and how we all apply The Science of Where beginning at 8:30 a.m.Special GuestOakland County, Michigan: Distributed GIS – Reinvigorate the Value of GISLocated within the Metro Detroit area, Oakland County, Michigan’s GIS program is enabling the county government along with 62 cities, villages, and townships spread across the County, to spend a dollar once and maximize their return on government services.

SDCC - Room 07 A - Tamrat Belayneh, Sean William Morrish, Chris Andrews

DESCRIPTIONOver the last two years, Esri has rolled out 3D capability that enables customers to distribute and visualize content across a diverse platform of products and SDKs. A key component of this effort has been the Indexed 3D Scene Layer (I3S) specification that we first released publicly in 2015.Through the I3S specification, we shared a pattern and interface for any 3D GIS application to either consume or create heterogeneous, scalable caches of information that can be used with web, mobile, and desktop applications. I3S even has a mechanism for packaging content, which is how ArcGIS Earth, a 50MB application, is able to read huge integrated mesh layers of 100GB or larger. The use of I3S does not require the use of Esri technology.This workshop will cover a discussion of the I3S spec and structure, an update on the OGC Community Standards process, and descriptions of how I3S can be used by partners and customers.

SDCC - Esri Showcase: Envisioning Center 1 - Brett Rose, Sudhir Shrestha, Tripp Corbett III

DESCRIPTIONRecent ArcGIS advancements have led to real-time data being visualized in 3D in a variety of industries. Utilizing next generation technology, an exploration of 3D and volumetric temporal data in Virtual Reality (VR) takes advantage of immersive user experiences where stakeholders are literally inside the data. No longer restricted by the edges of a screen, VR provides an innovative way of viewing spatially distributed 2D and 3D data that leverages a 360 field of view and positional-tracking input, allowing users to see more data at a glance. GIS Professionals, Stakeholders, Managers, and Executive Sponsors will be presented with a mock natural disaster scenario, where Esri Seed Program member NAVTECA has created a proof of concept for the use of ArcGIS+VR. While the scenario will be focused around a public safety use case, these same concepts are relevant to other industries, including utilities, commercial agriculture, oceanographers, local, and state governments who are interested in how real-time collaboration in VR can enhance their understanding and mission with temporally-aware 3D, meteorological, and other volumetric datasets.

4:30pm - 5:00pmBig Data to Conservation Action: Protecting ChimpanzeesDemo Theater Presentations, Sustainable Development

SDCC - Esri Showcase: Sustainable World Theaterette - Lilian Pintea

DESCRIPTIONFrom Big Data to Conservation Action: Protecting Chimpanzees by Monitoring and Forecasting Habitat Health and Connectivity in Africa. The endangered chimpanzee is threatened by habitat loss from resource extraction and land conversion, as well as hunting, disease and the illegal pet trade. Recent developments in remote sensing, GIS and cloud computing enable the use of Earth satellite observations to provide a synoptic view of chimpanzee habitats at finer spatial and temporal resolutions that are locally relevant and consistent across the entire species’ range. We present a practical Decision Support System (DSS) to monitor near-real time chimpanzee habitat health and to inform conservation strategies from village to range-wide scales using Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation. The DSS integrates in Azure cloud over fifteen years of Landsat satellite imagery with chimpanzee habitat suitability and connectivity models and a model forecasting future land use change. ArcGIS platform is used to convert geospatial data into meaningful management information and support conservation decisions. Using a case study from Tanzania we will discuss how UAV data and Esri Drone2Map could be used as part of the DSS to complement habitat monitoring from satellite images.

5:30pm - 6:15pmWorkflows for Frame CamerasImagery Technical, Demo Theater Presentations

SDCC - Demo Theater 14 - Imagery - Shaojun He, Cody Benkelman

DESCRIPTIONThe number of digital frame cameras on aerial and UAV platforms is rapidly increasing and each sensor may take thousands of images in a single flight leading to very large collections of imagery. Such systems typically use GPS to record their location, but only advanced systems include IMU to capture camera orientation. ArcGIS provides a frame camera model to characterize the data from this class of sensor. To use this the user needs to provide appropriate parameters and validate that they indeed model the sensor. This session will provide best practice workflows for creating mosaic datasets from the imagery and then serve them as accessible image services that can be used for rapid interpretation.

5:30pm - 6:00pmHumanitarian Supply Chain Optimization using GIS ToolsDemo Theater Presentations, Sustainable Development

SDCC - Esri Showcase: Sustainable World Theaterette - Luzal Vaidya

DESCRIPTIONThe Logistics Clusters preparedness project aims to improve humanitarian response system performance by identifying and addressing systemic challenges in supply chain systems. The core idea of the approach is to design and deliver targeted improvements in local supply chain systems through expanded and strengthened networks that leverage existing capacity, innovation and technology. By aiming to enhance capacities of supply chain systems, through a multi-sectoral collaborative partnership approach, this initiative focuses on the concept of national system resilience (mitigating the need for international scale intervention) as well as lowering both response cost and time in emergencies. By leveraging innovative and analytical technology, the strengthening of supply chain capacities can occur closer to points of service demand. The largest investment stream of the project is that of innovation, analysis and knowledge management which will build upon existing data and knowledge for context specific application of supply chain preparedness. Core steps involve dynamically/digitally mapping existing supply chain related datasets; describing existing supply chain systems in terms of footprint, capacities, linkages and interrelatedness; conducting analysis through scenario and network modelling; and Identifying primary inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, supply chain risks for mitigation. The Preparedness Platform uses a streamlined suite of ESRI tools (ArcGIS Server, Webmaps, Webapps, Geoform, Collector, Survey123, Operations Dashboard, StoryMap, Network Analyst, and Enterprise Architecture) fed by a solid data model, and has been developed to provide this cross-sectoral value and meet the aforementioned project demands. Through this system, we are exploring options for not only increasing the efficiency of humanitarian ground operations but lowering the cost and environmental footprint of supply chain.

9:30am - 10:15amAttribute Field Matching in GeoprocessingPerforming Analysis, Demo Theater Presentations

SDCC - Demo Theater 07 - Spatial Analysis - Drew Flater

DESCRIPTIONA number of commonly-used geoprocessing tools including Spatial Join, Append, and Merge, have a parameter for controlling how attribute fields from the input datasets are processed and written, or mapped, to the output dataset - the Field Map parameter. In addition to the simple copying of attributes from input to output, field mapping can also be useful for some common tasks such as field renaming, string concatenation, and calculating statistics like mean, sum, and standard deviation. If you haven't used the Field Map before, you should! Understanding and using field mapping will often reduce the number of processing steps in a workflow, and ensure that, in any scenario, attributes are handled in an appropriate way. Yes, the Field Map parameter is a complex one, but it is worth the time it takes to figure it out.

DESCRIPTIONThe Emergency Preparedness Branch of the WFP is increasingly relying of automated mapping, both for the early disaster response and for the creation of field operation maps. Immediately after a disaster strikes, the Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) performs data harvesting, analysis and

mapping of the event. The tool, developed in collaboration with USGS and the European Commission, creates a dashboard indicating key information such as the estimated number of people potentially affected, main infrastructures and WFP presence, and sends the results to the relevant decision maker or field-based personnel. It is an innovative, real-time service that WFP provides to hundreds of subscribers from the whole humanitarian community. The second GIS project focused on map automation is Humanitarian Topographic Atlas (HTA), which has been developed for supporting field operations during humanitarian crisis. The primary goal of HTA is to create a high quality, detailed, highly readable, up-to-date and aesthetically pleasing topographic maps, covering the areas where WFP operates. The printable maps produced by HTA are primarily based on open data, and feature both contour lines and relief shading derived from SRTM data. Hydrographic features, roads, place names and all other map features are from the OpenStreetMap project. HTA maps are automatically updated on a weekly basis. The project is exploiting and integrating several technologies: IMPOSM3, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcPy and ArcGIS Online. Since HTA maps are open and available to any humanitarian operator, an ESRI Story Map has been created for facilitating the browsing and the search of the desired map (http://arcg.is/2pCibBH).

8:30am - 9:45amExplaining the Value of GIS to ManagementTechnical Workshops, Data Driven Decision Making

SDCC - Room 17 A - Clinton Johnson

DESCRIPTIONInterpreting Executive Motivation and DemandIt is not often that business leaders speak in the language of GIS anymore than it is often that they use the language of IT or data analysis more generically. It is often the challenge of a GIS leader to interpret business leader's challenges and requests (verbalized and non-verbalized), deriving the GIS needs along the way. The key to success is understanding the relationship between organizational drivers, goals, and services and the solutions your team can offer. Determining the Business Value of GISDetermining the business value of your organization's location platform, apps, and services can be one of the most challenging endeavors that GIS leaders undertake. It can be difficult to avoid contemplating the specific contributions of a given element of the platform's underlying infrastructure or specific data management efforts. The trick is to rise above the level of the constituent parts and focus on the business capabilities, products, and services enabled or enhanced through GIS. Knowing the StoryStories can be memorable and impactful ways to communicate the value of GIS.

Knowing the stories that drive the businesses that you enable and advance through your team's services can empower you to make the best business case for investments in the growth and sustainment of your organization's location platform, maps, apps, and services.

10:30am - 11:00amUsing Tasks in ArcGIS Pro to Support Crime Analysis WorkflowsLaw Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Demo Theater Presentations

SDCC - Demo Theater 16 - Public Safety - Chris Delaney

DESCRIPTIONIn Law Enforcement agencies, crime and intelligence analysts conduct a wide array of spatial analysis and geoprocessing workflows in support of operational decision needs. Often, these workflows are performed on an ad-hoc basis with limited documentation, resulting in analysts needing to re-learn the process each time the perform a workflow, and making it challenging to share best practices across the professional analyst community. Additionally, because spatial analysis workflows often involve multiple steps and familiarity with tool options, complicated workflows can be very challenging for new analysts with limited exposure to GIS. The introduction of tasks in ArcGIS Pro enables those best practice workflows to be easily captured in a wizard-based interface, chaining together various geoprocessing tools supplemented by user-defined explanatory text. These tasks enable users to share their workflows with others, and provide a valuable reference point- for either new analysts learning to use GIS for crime analysis, or for experienced analysts re-familiarizing themselves with an esoteric workflow. This session will provide an overview on how to build tasks for crime analysis workflows, including demonstration of several tasks based on real-life crime analysis worklows that will be available for participants to access after the session.
