Technical Workshops

Attend the technical workshops and get an excellent opportunity to learn more about your ESRI software. To take place during the second and third day of the conference, knowledgeable ESRI staff will conduct these workshops.

  • What is new in ArcGIS 9.2 Desktop

ArcGIS 9.2 is a major release.  This session will provide an overview of the new features and functionality available in ArcGIS 9.2 across the desktop, developer, and server products. 

Audience:  ArcGIS users who want to understand the new features in
ArcGIS 9.2.

  • ArcGIS Network Analyst.

The session will provide an introduction and overview of ArcGIS Network Analyst, whose features and functions will be discussed as well as the new network dataset. Analysis support includes routing, generating service areas, identifying closest facilities, and the origin/destination cost matrix. The network dataset provides an improved connectivity and navigation attribute model for transportation networks. Key topics will include network specification and construction, use of analysis tools, and integration with the geoprocessing framework.

Audience: ArcGIS users Level: Beginner Prerequisite(s): None

  • ArcGIS Server: Developing Web Applications with .NET at 9.2

ArcGIS Server provides a powerful application development framework for the .NET platform. ArcGIS Server developers can build and deploy .NET-based Web applications and services that consume GIS content from a broad range of sources and publish to a broad range of clients.  This session will focus on the .NET developer's experience, which consists of out-of-the-box applications, Web controls, data source APIs, and an extensible task framework.

Audience: ArcGIS developers , .NET developers

  • Using Cartographic Representations in ArcMap at 9.2

    Cartographic representations allow you to create multiple map representations from GIS features. In this session, you will learn how to use drawing rules as well as editing tools to create cartographic representations at ArcGIS 9.2, and how they can be used to help you publish better maps. This session will introduce feature class representations, which offer a new way to manage and modify map symbology by storing it inside the geodatabase. It will cover setting up representation rules for features within layers and how the features and rules are stored in the geodatabase. It also will introduce the new interactive graphic editing tools that allow the cartographer to override representations for individual features and store alternate geometry that is used for symbol display only, leaving the spatial geometry intact. Finally, it introduces the new geoprocessing tools that help you further refine and manage representations.
     

  • ArcGIS Explorer: Deploying and Using ArcGIS Explorer 9.2  **Canceled**

ArcExplorer is a GIS data viewer as well as an excellent vehicle for publishing your data. You can re-distribute the ArcExplorer software and your data to your users, who can then install ArcExplorer on their machines and view your data easily and effectively. And best of all, ESRI does not charge any fees for you to distribute ArcExplorer with your data. Once you have created your aesthetically-pleasing map, you can save your application as a project file.

  • Editing with ArcGIS 9.2

This session will discuss considerations when setting up your geodatabase based on data capture guidelines and source data quality and with review their impact on data accuracy and efficiency when compiling your data into a geodatabase and maintaining it using ArcGIS.

  • ArcGIS Spatial Analyst - Introduction to Suitability Modeling.

Suitability modeling is one of the most useful and common types of modeling performed in GIS. Suitability models are used to answer questions such as where to site a housing development or locate the next store, which locations are most preferred by deer, who will be most at risk if a fire were to break out or a chemical were spilled, and where is the least-cost path to site a road between two locations. This session will guide you through how to create a suitability model from start to finish, explore in some depth how preferences and weights are assigned, and discuss the concerns to address. 

Audience: ArcGIS Spatial Analyst users Level: Beginner to intermediate  Prerequisite(s): ArcGIS Extensions: ArcGIS Spatial Analyst - An Introduction workshop or experience using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst

  • Geoprocessing with ArcGIS Engine. **Canceled**

ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit is a GIS development product that allows you to build custom ArcGIS applications from a variety of development environments.

  • Working with Geodatabase Replication in ArcGIS 9.2

This session will describe geodatabase replication, which is a new capability released in ArcGIS 9.2. Geodatabase replication allows you to distribute copies of your data across two or more geodatabases. With geodatatabase replication you can edit the geodatabases independently and synchronize them as needed. This technology is supported in connected and disconnected environments and can work on local networks or on the Internet through ArcGIS Server. Geodatabase replication expands on the disconnected editing technology that has been provided in earlier releases.

Audience:
Those who design, manage, and use enterprise geodatabases who want insight into ESRI's current and future directions for enterprise geodatabases.  Level: Intermediate

  • 3D Analyst - Visualization with ArcGlobe.

This session will present 3D visualization using ArcGlobe. It is geared toward the intermediate user. Topics will include data preparation guidelines, display optimization techniques, best practices, and recommended workflows in building interactive ArcGlobe documents and general tips and tricks to achieve maximum usability.

Audience: 3D Analyst users Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Familiarity with the ArcGlobe application

  • Introduction to Image Server.  **Canceled**

    ArcGIS Image Server resolves bottlenecks in conventional image processing workflows. The server combines image processing and image distribution and enables the creation of new Web-based solutions that will increase the usage and value of geospatial imagery in context of GIS.
     

  • ArcGIS Geoprocessing: Model Builder - Advanced Topics.

This session will take an in-depth look at ModelBuilder and its more advanced features such as setting model properties, working with environment variables, establishing preconditions, validating and repairing models, and sharing models. 

Audience: ArcGIS Level: Intermediate

  • Topology in the Geoatabase.

This session will describe how topologies are defined and managed in the geodatabase, and their impact on data modeling, database construction, editing, and cartography. The discussion will also review data precision and key performance factors with validating topology.

Audience: ArcGIS users Level: Intermediate

  • ESRI Mobile GIS Solutions Overview.  **Canceled**

Mobile GIS is the expansion of a geographic information system (GIS) from the office into the field. A mobile GIS enables field based personnel to capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic information. Mobile GIS integrates one or more of the following technologies:
- Mobile devices
- Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
- Wireless communications for Internet GIS access
