DESCRIPTION Over 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.

______4:30pm - 5:00pm Big Data to Conservation Action: Protecting Chimpanzees Demo Theater Presentations, Sustainable Development SDCC - Esri Showcase: Sustainable World Theaterette - Lilian Pintea
DESCRIPTION From 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 - 6:00pm Humanitarian Supply Chain Optimization using GIS Tools Demo Theater Presentations, Sustainable Development SDCC - Esri Showcase: Sustainable World Theaterette - Luzal Vaidya
DESCRIPTION The 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.

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 GIS Determining 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 Story Stories 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 - 11:00am Using Tasks in ArcGIS Pro to Support Crime Analysis Workflows Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Demo Theater Presentations SDCC - Demo Theater 16 - Public Safety - Chris Delaney
DESCRIPTION In 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.

User presentation: ways2see – wayfinding for people with visual impairments or blindness By: Susanne Zimmermann-Janschitz and Sebastian Drexel
Abstract: ways2see is a Web AppBuilder based information platform designed for people with visual impairments or blindness. As a pre-trip planning tool it is intended to support the users in planning their daily routes according to their individual needs. The system avoids barriers and offers a sufficient amount of orientation features as hints and landmarks along the way.
ArcGIS Desktop is used for data management, automatic data acquisition and network analysis (NA). The NA is additionally adapted to the needs of the users, especially concerning linear information, e.g. where a person is moving along (wall, fence etc.).
Web AppBuilder is used for designing the user interface, adopting pre-defined widgets to the needs by integrating different user-profiles. Furthermore the results and the user-interface are provided in an accessible way, e.g. available for screen readers. The slogan of ways2see can be summarized as ‘accessible information about accessibility’.
The innovations of the project can be identified in (1) models for (semi-) automated data acquisition (2) new approaches in Network Analyst (3) user-profiles for a heterogeneous user group (4) the spatial context (city-wide application) (5) the accessible implementation of Web AppBuilder widgets
