Workshop 1: 9:30am-12pm
Agent-Based Modeling Using Agent Analyst Extension for ArcGIS
Presenter: Michael J. North, Argonne National Lab.
Description: This software workshop will introduce the attendees to the fundamental concepts of agent-based modeling and the use of the Agent Analyst ArcGIS extension.
Workshop 2: 1-3:30pm
Exploring Spatial Data with GeoDa
Presenters: Luc Anselin and Julia Koschinsky, University of Illinois
Description: This workshop will provide an overview of methods for exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis, as implemented in the freely available GeoDa software package. It will illustrate the application of ESDA techniques such as dynamic linking and brushing, outlier detection, cartograms, animated maps, parallel coordinate plots, visualization of global and local spatial autocorrelation, and spatial regression. GeoDa was developed under the auspices of the NSF-sponsored Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (http://sal.agecon.uiuc.edu/geoda_main.php).
Workshop 3: 4-6:30pm
Visualization, Cluster and Geostatistical Analysis in a Space-Time Intelligence System (STIS)
Presenters: Pierre Goovaerts, Dunrie Greiling and Geoffry M. Jacquez, BioMedware, Inc.
Description: Participants in this software workshop will be introduced to TerraSeer's STIS software and will learn basics of space-time visualization including map animation, polygon morphing and descriptive statistics. Fundamentals of cluster and geostatistical analysis will include the detection of health disparities and disease cluster analysis for residential histories.
