Members from the Farallon team will be attending or presenting at these upcoming GIS and Location Technology events and seminars.
In 2012, Directions Magazine and Oracle are collaborating to offer consecutive events over two days in Washington, DC. First, on May 22, Directions Magazine's Location Intelligence Conference will offer a multi-track program exploring the latest industry trends. Then, on May 23, the Oracle Spatial User Conference will offer a day of technical deep dives and use case sessions around Oracle's spatial technologies. Attendees may attend either event on its own, or both together.
BAAMA is hosting a morning of presentations regarding mobile data collection technologies. Learn more about opportunities to use smart phones and other devices to efficiently collect data in the field; how to efficiently load and utilize your own data; and see how high resolution 3D imagery can be used to very accurately capture field assets locations and dimensions. Smart phone mapping apps that work offline during disasters Mike Prince, Citizen 911, Inc.
Adam Lodge from Farallon will be presenting:
Open Source Geodata Collection on 21st Century Mobile Devices
Farallon Geographics Open Data Kit (ODK), an open source data collection platform for
tablets and smartphones, is an attractive tool meeting conventional GIS data collection needs. Initially conceived for use in third world countries, the software components are free to acquire, easy to set up, and even easier to use. Because it is open source, it is relatively simple to extend it beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities. This presentation will outline ODK’s technical components (and limitations), define the business opportunity it presents, and provide a demonstration of how to set up a simple ODK project.
Join the world’s open source pioneers, builders, and innovators July 16-20, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon for five intense days. Learn about open development, challenge your assumptions, and fire up your brain. OSCON is where the serious thinkers and doers—and their favorite technologies—converge. And when the day’s sessions are over, join the 3,000 or more people just like you for some serious fun. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an open source rock star or programmer by day/rock star by night, or somewhere in between--OSCON is a meeting of like minds. If you work with open source, you’ll want to be here.
Alexei Peters, Farallon’s Director of GIS Web Development will be attending and is available for meetings.
ArcGIS 10.1, ArcGIS Online, mobile, and cloud take center stage. For five days in one place, this conference provides up to 16 hours of Esri software training, hundreds of user presentations that share best practices, and opportunities for me to get our specific technical questions answered by Esri staff. It also includes vendor and map displays from around the world and special interest group meetings that will connect me with GIS users from our region and industry. Over 13,000 professionals across industries attend the UC, representing nearly every commercial sector, government organization, and non-profit field. This abundance of user‐to‐user communication opportunities is essential for learning about real-life GIS experiences, best practices, and tips.
This presentation reviews using FME Dynamic Workspaces to spatially visualize the output from Viador, a non-spatial Business Intelligence (BI) application. By creating an FME workspace utilizing dynamic readers and writers, as well as a published parameters to pass in data specific variables at runtime, the FME workspace was able to read in any query results produced by the BI application and join the appropriate column with a spatial data layer pulled from a spatial database.
Smart phones and tablets offer people collecting data in the field a compelling alternative to traditional GPS devices and GIS software. "Apps" built specifically for familiar platforms like smart phones and tablets enable super easy and super efficient data collection field work. This presentation showcases the solutions that Farallon has developed for our clients to make spatial data collection as simple as using a typical Iphone App, and we will discuss the interplay of technologies used to craft those solutions - including Postgis, ArcGIS Server, FME Server, and Android OS.
This presentation from CaGIS 2010 explores a centrally available, authoritative address system as a critical tool to streamline the business of government and corporations. It covers the features of this system including a Master Address Database for managing addresses, their spatial relationships with parcels, streets, apartments, units and lineage requirements. The entire system is built on Open Source software.
This presentation at CalGIS 2007 explores how Google Maps, Google Earth, MS Virtual Earth and other emerging technologies can be integrated with traditional GIS tools such as geodatabases and ArcGIS server to deliver useful "enterprise mashups" to to dramatically improve the dissemination of GIS data and analyses to people while significantly reducing the cost of deploying and maintaining GIS.
This presentation at CalGIS 2007 explores innovative strategies and technologies that will enhance the value of investment in GIS, including decentralized databases and non-traditional visualization tools.
This presentation to the MISAC Northern California Chapter Meeting Nov 2007 discusses how organizations can deploy GIS solutions that leverage spatially aware relational database management systems like Oracle Express, free SOA-based mapping API's like Google Maps and Google Earth, and open source software like Autodesk Mapguide to manage data, integrate systems, and deliver compelling geospatial applications for a fraction of the cost of traditional GIS.
This presentation to the July 2006 BAAMA meeting discusses using Oracle Express, web services, JSON and Google Maps API to create a sophisticated decison support solution for hazard abatement anaylysis.
This presentation to the Location Intelligence Conference April 2006 discusses using Oracle 10g Spatial for a series of pre-processing services and custom data structures for the intensive large volume geoprocessing for Quality Planning Corporation ("QPC"), a risk managment insurance company.
This presentation to the Oracle Spatial User's Conference in April 2006 discusses usage scenarios of Oracle Spatial for logisitics including: Network Data Models (NDM) to generate paths based on network, costs, and constraints; Linear Referencing Systems (LRS) to support along-path distance determination, drive times and situational awareness (i.e., more than just dynamic segmentation); and using an Application Server Mapviewer to generate dynamic data-driven maps for inclusion into business applications.
This overview whitepaper for the County of San Mateo Public Works Department highlights their work with Farallon Geographics to produce an automated, user-intuitive integration process between their Hansen asset management system and the County's enterprise-level GIS. The Oracle Spatial supported solution allows for automatic data updates, ensuring system synchronization and minimizing the risks associated with error-prone human tabular data entry.
