8:30-9:00 Welcome Remarks

9:00 – 10:00           Dr. David Maguire Keynote Presentation

Title: Dynamic Modeling with ArcGIS

Presenter: Dr. David Maguire

GIS has historically been widely used for inventory and cartographic applications such as land /property management, natural resources assessment, and utility asset registration. These applications are useful for record keeping and describing the form or appearance of the world. ArcGIS now provides us with the opportunity to investigate the processes that govern how the world works by building and executing analytical process models. ArcGIS has a geoprocessing framework and an extensive range of interesting tools for spatial analysis and modeling. Not only can we create static models, but we have also started to build dynamic models that incorporate change over both space and time. Such dynamic models can be used to develop past, present, and future geographic scenarios that can encompass sensitive and error analysis as well as dynamic simulations. This presentation will provide a grounding in modern spatial analysis and modeling techniques. It will explain the differences between cartographic, cellular automata, and agent-based models.

10:30 – Noon          ESRI Northwest and UC 2007 Highlights

Marty Balikov, ESRI Northwest regional manager, and some of his staff will present the highlights of the 2007 User Conference which took place in San Diego earlier this summer. We will also cover the status of the ESRI regional office, upcoming regional events, and training offerings.

Session 1: ArcGIS Desktop: Tips & Tricks for Productivity Gains

 Session 2: ArcGIS Server: Getting Started with Developing ArcGIS Server Applications

ArcGIS Server is a comprehensive web-based GIS that offers a framework for the development of mobile application and web editing based applications. The presentation will demonstrate how to create basic mobile and web editing applications and will cover application tuning and performance considerations.

Session 3: Implementing Enterprise GIS: Challenges and Implementation Considerations

Organizations are developing business-driven applications using GIS technology, and as a result, the need for enterprise-level strategic planning to incorporate GIS is becoming increasingly important. Enterprise systems present important challenges and implementation considerations. The goal of the session is to outline the key fundamentals and considerations in developing a technology strategy as a foundation for building business solutions using ArcGIS Server technology
