The Application of Geospatial Technology to Manage Sloped Land Hazard Incidents Dr. Jimmy Tien-Yin Chou, Director and Distinguished Professor, Deptartment of Land Management and Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Information, Feng Chia University Taiwan is located at the collision boundary of the Philippine sea plate and the Eurasian plate. The mountain terrain is precipitous and the region, on the whole, is characterised by fragile rocks and frequent seismic activity. In addition, the concentrated torrential rainfall brought about by typhoons cause extensive disasters with serious debris flow. The most serious disasters are caused by torrential rainfall and this has led to very heavy casualties in recent years. There are 17 fixed debris flow monitoring stations and two mobile stations deployed in Taiwan currently. However, the whole architecture was designed in late 2000 and implemented with traditional and proprietary methodologies. Hence, several interoperability issues have been unveiled in recent years as the needs of interoperability increased.
In this session, Dr. Chou will propose a new and open standards-based debris flow monitoring architecture following the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm. Relevant Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards and advancements from grid computing lead into the proposed architecture. The use of open standards and distributed computing technologies in the proposed architecture enables heterogeneous resources (data, processing and computing power) interoperability. This proposed architecture also implements an OGC WPS Grid Processing Profile that was developed in the OGC Web Services, Phase 6 (OWS-6) initiative of the OGC Interoperability Program.
Weihai Emergency Operations Centre Mr. Ma Long, Deputy Director, Weihai Economic and Information Committee In this session, Mr. Ma will give an overview on the background and requirements of the Weihai Emergency Operations Centre.

ABSTRACTS DAY 2 tuesday 10 august PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY
Public Safety and Security Industry Review Mr. Robert Scott and Mr. Peter Halliday, Intergraph The maintenance of public safety is a responsibility of both government and non-government organisations, and involves the protection of the general public from events that could subject them to injury or worse. Likewise, security management is a function that ensures the protection of citizens, organisations and institutions against threats to their well-being and to the prosperity of their communities. Taking an operational perspective, Mr. Scott and Mr. Halliday will review the public safety and security situations worldwide and show how the two are becoming ever-increasingly entwined and offer some thoughts about the challenges of the future.
Emergency Operations Management and Response Mr. Peter Halliday, Intergraph Emergency management is the discipline of dealing with unforeseen situations that demand immediate action. It is important to realise that emergency situations are of all types and degrees of gravity. ‘Major’ and ‘minor’ emergencies are relative terms, notably in the eyes of the beholder. Effective emergency management relies on thorough integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and non-government involvement. Taking an operational perspective, Mr. Halliday will show why formal emergency management has developed and suggest how Intergraph solutions can contribute to decreasing the likelihood of emergencies or supporting an effective response when they do occur.
Emergency Operations Centre Solution - Integrated Disaster Management for Police, Fire, EMS and Traffic Management Mr. Ji Mingru, Intergraph Geospatial information plays a key role in disaster management to ensure that critical information is available for analysis and decision-making processes. Due to the dynamic and complicated nature of disasters, accurate, up-to-date spatial information will need to be accessed from many organisations and disciplines and this will require a collaborative geo-visual Command-and-Control environment to analyse and integrate multiple data sources. The challenge in disaster management is to intelligently apply information and technology as integrated activities, build interoperability for exchange of relevant information and provide visual identification from integrated geospatial display. In this session, Mr. Ji will share how this challenge can be overcome, as well as how to effectively command and coordinate multiple departments and agencies to enable a timely and effective response to threats and incidents to reduce false positives and focus limited resources on confirmed threats. intergraph 2010 Greater China 9 - 11 August

Kunming Power Case Study Mr. Zhao Yingqing, Kunming Power In this session, Mr. Zhao will give an overview on Kunming Power and share how his team built an electricy resource management system, including a whole transmission and distribution network model based on G/Technology v10.1. He will also cover the CIM standard model for an electricity enterprise, where the GIS system was integrated with IBM’s Maximo system, allowing for integrated advanced functions in the GIS system.
Foshan Gas Case Study Mr. Wang Donghua, Foshan Gas The new-generation FSGIS system, based on a combination of gas network characteristics of transmission and distribution, GIS, computer network, communications and database technologies, has established a gas pipeline network database for Foshan Gas. In this session, Mr. Wang will highlight how this helps to facilitate the gas pipeline network and various facilities and provides easy access to data queries and statistics for quick analysis and prompt decision-making processes for emergency repair. This database is also integrated with other information systems like SCADA, customer service system, and the charging system application. intergraph 2010 Greater China 9 - 11 August
Government and transportation
Government and Transportation Industry Review Mr. Robert Widz, Intergraph Governments across the world are under increased pressure to increase the quality of services provided to citizens, business and other governments. Spatial information and geospatial services become the key elements for IT solutions, supporting most of the business processes performed by governments. Governments need to move away from traditional GIS technology and build modern, centralised geospatial data management systems for a rich enterprise geospatial environment. In this session, Mr. Widz will share how Intergraph helps governments implement SDIs in order to improve communication, collaboration and distribution of information. Governments become part of the Global SDI, which is an important aspect of monitoring and protecting the environment.
Transportation agencies of all kinds need to ensure traffic and passenger safety, improve maintenance of the network and protect transportation infrastructures, while reducing operating costs. Since the movement of people and goods are constantly increasing with cross-border transportation a current reality, it is critical that the safety of citizens, passengers and infrastructure is not compromised despite the increasing complexities involved. In this session, Mr. Widz will highlight how Intergraph solutions are able to support the security requirements across several transportation market segments.
Motion Video Analyst Mr. Julian Kardos, Intergraph The Intergraph geospatial exploitation solutions provide improved analysis of motion imagery, integration with other forms of intelligence and geospatial information, and robust management and dissemination of video data collections. These new applications exploit the power of georeferenced video sources to create profound improvements in analytical capabilities and decision-making ability. In this session, Mr. Kardos will show how Intergraph’s Motion Video Analyst software suite provides analysts with the unprecedented ability to collect, extract and maximise video assets. This breakthrough technology enables change detection, image enhancement and integration with multiple geo-referenced sources to yield current, actionable intelligence in a highly dynamic intelligence landscape.
Chengdu Land Information Resource Centre SDI and Emergency Operations Centre Case Study Dr. Chen Xianwei, Chengdu Land Resource Information Centre Chengdu Land Resource Information Centre (CLRIC) has been a long-term Intergraph customer using Intergraph’s GIS solutions, including GeoMedia. Over the past year, CLRIC has outlined their key requirements related to SDI and geographic EOC. Intergraph responded and has been working successfully with CLRIC to implement solutions to meet these requirements. Dr. Chen will review why the Intergraph solution was chosen and the current progress of the solution implementation. He will also highlight the benefits of the solution for CLRIC and how that aligns with the demands of their government and public services.
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana Case Study Mr. Robert Widz, Intergraph Since 2004, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) has started investing in technology to significantly improve its process automation in order to achieve a modern, safe and interoperable network. Each year, this continues and improves with the introduction of advanced technologies that help with the building of tracks, as well as the circulation of trains. At the same time, the RFI Strategies, Quality and IT Division has also started a radical transformation process moving from a project-oriented organisation to a process- and service-oriented organisation.
In this session, Mr. Widz will share how Intergraph has been supporting RFI as its technical partner for over five years. Intergraph has become an ‘RFI Supplier’ that develops projects that are needed to support RFI in order to make decisions related to business processes. Intergraph collaborates closely with RFI to define strategies and opportunities.
Poland and Czech Republic SDI Case Study Mr. Robert Widz, Intergraph An SDI is the key to maximising data sharing and collaboration within and between government and commercial orgnisations, and the public. Building an SDI is a challenge, both from organisational and technical perspectives. Success can only be achieved if these two areas are addressed and implemented properly. In Europe, INSPIRE directives set rules and guidelines on how to implement the collaboration and distribution of key spatial features. However, they still do not cover all the issues related to their implementation.
In this session, Mr. Widz will cover examples of the nationwide geoportal SDI implementation of the Czech National Mapping Agency and the Polish Geoportal. These examples will highlight a few key issues, which will have to be considered by an organisation in order to implement a successful SDI. intergraph 2010 Greater China 9 - 11 August
