Monday March 5, 2012 - 8:45 to 10:15 am
While GIS professionals in the State of Hawaii have done a good job in maintaining GIS as a viable technology and capability of supporting users in existing mission requirements (e.g., online maps, broadband service mapping, basic analytics), the efforts are largely fragmented and not unified in taking advantage of the additional capabilities of GIS in solving many mission needs that remain to be met. Hawaii GIS can solve many needs with additional new capabilities such as:
· "On-the-fly", direct, on-line, visualization, mobilization, socialization and business analytics of geo-coded information for decision-making and problem solving
· A unified registry to avoid duplication of effort and coordinate efforts more effectively
· New mobile applications that provide needed solutions quicker
· A geo-spatial governance that is nimble and responsive to customer needs and a marketplace for ideas
· GIS is included in the Life-cycle management
· An agile open architecture and platform to deliver services for Web 3.0/Gov 3.0
Next Generation GIS technology, processes and policies are here! We need to empower Hawaii users to use it - now! OIMT is soliciting input from all citizens on the State of Hawaii Business and IT Transformation Plan at
http://www.hawaii.gov/oimt
Get involved with the GIS groups to ensure Next Generation GIS is included in the plan!

University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI
Natural Resource Management Monday
March 5, 2012 - 10:45 am to noon
Cyberinfrastructure (CI), viewed as the coordinated aggregate of computer hardware / software and other technologies which change data into knowledge systems, has great potential for connecting science with policy by facilitating rapid, effective delivery and integration of information to decision makers about the dynamic state of human-environment systems at global scales. Coupled with GIS, CI is enhanced with adding functionality for spatiotemporal database management, spatial analysis and modeling, visualization and extended support for virtualized problem solving applications such as Spatial Decision Support (SDS). We will present an overview of such an end-to-end platform, The Research Cyberinfrastructure Core (RCC), developed through NSF EPSCoR funding to the Center for Conservation Research and Training at UH Manoa. Housed on a high-performance, distributed computing server cluster managed by The Pacific Biosciences Research Center, the RCC integrates the use of wireless sensor technologies for environmental monitoring, Grid computing with 3D geospatial data visualization / exploration, GIS-based Spatial Decision Support and a secured Internet portal user interface which is being applied to enhance natural resource management activities in the Hawaiian Islands.

Geospatially Enabled Solutions for ‘All Hazards' Incident Management
Robert H. Scott, III, P.E.
Intergraph Corporation, Reston, VA
Disaster Management and Emergency Response II
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Having a clear picture of unfolding situations on the ground is a vital element in determining fast and effective responses to major emergency incidents. However, during the last decade significant natural disaster and terrorism events have revealed serious deficiencies in the timely provision and sharing of critical information. Operational complexity combined with the shear volume and diversity of data sources and types, mean key information is often not available when it is most needed to inform decision making and improve outcomes.
Technology adoption requires an approach that integrates various systems to work together to provide the user agencies with a coherent solution. By utilising a geospatial computer-aided dispatch system as an integration platform, alarms, sensors, cameras and video feeds can be fused with operational data to form systems to meet evolving ‘all hazards' mitigation needs. This presentation will illustrate some of the key examples of these requirements and how geospatial technology is being deployed in anti-terrorism force protection, major event security, transportation security, and the protection key national infrastructure.

Emergency Management web-based GIS applications require flexibility for adaptation to constantly changing requirements during an emergency event. Designing and building a modular framework system that addresses common functionality across environments and customized to specific user needs can speed development and deployment of applications, as well as, modifying applications without downtime or significant user training. Using case studies at the federal level with customers such as the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the Social Security Administration, we will demonstrate how this concept of a "common approach" can be implemented. Examples include: How to leverage application level permissions using Active Directory, building and integrating geoprocessing services specifically designed for emergency management, and common GIS functionality such as query, add layers, and batch geocoding on the fly.

Create Your Own Google-like Maps
Michael Baker
Intergraph Corporation,Huntsville, AL
Internet GIS
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Google Maps have had a tremendous impact on the GIS industry. Google Maps is an impressive application and is commonly used here in Hawaii as a supplement to desktop GIS systems. It offers fast, responsive, and nicely rendered maps. It also offers the developer a well-documented and well-understood API. However, most GIS users have made a large investment in data themselves. Wouldn't it be nice to have the same Google Maps functionality but using individualized data instead of Google's? Creating individualized Google-like Maps is not difficult as long as the necessary components are understood. The key is to understand the map stack. There are four major components to the map stack - the browser UI, tile cache, WMS service, and GIS data. In this session, the speaker will begin by with a brief discussion of how Google Maps work and then will examine each component of the map stack.

Overcoming Challenges in Deploying Esri-based Mobile & WebGIS Applications Across Multiple Devices
James Van Dyk
Latitude Geographics Group Inc., Victoria, BC, Canada
Internet GIS
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Many organizations today build mapping applications using ArcGIS Server and technologies like Flex, HTML/Javascript, and Silverlight. Historically these mapping applications only needed to be viewed on a traditional desktop, but increasingly there is demand to view them on mobile phones and tablets, using iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. With varying levels of support across these platforms for each client technology, what is the best way for GIS administrators to build applications that can be viewed cross-platform by the greatest number of people? What happens when HTML5 gains greater acceptance in the coming months?
With growing sets of mobile users, administrators are forced to balance browser compatibility issues with limited resources to build and maintain platform-specific applications coming from multiple software vendors. This presentation will introduce the concept of a Spatial Application Infrastructure (SAI), a more efficient way to build and maintain cross-platform mapping applications. This session will also explore the benefits of using an SAI, and include a live demonstration of building these types of applications using ArcGIS Server and Geocortex software.

Kipuka: Expanding Place-Based Knowledge Through GIS
Kamoa Quitevis
Zachary Smith
Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Honolulu, HI
Participatory and Place-Based GIS
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) has built a geographic database to help answer questions about land use in Hawaii. Understanding why cultural sites exist where they do is as important as the history of the land itself. This information goes a long way in furthering the mission of OHA to malama the resources of Hawaii and perpetuate Native Hawaiian culture. The understanding and relating of information about location is a long-standing practice among Native Hawaiians. GIS can mimic the oral tradition of Hawaiians by acting as a repository of a great history of geographical knowledge. Kipuka, the GIS of OHA, was created to strengthen contemporary Native Hawaiian identity and provide this knowledge to all the people of Hawaii.
This presentation will discuss the process of creating and providing a GIS to the public that blends culture with land and history in Hawaii. We will look at some of the issues involved in GIS implementation in a state agency as well as overcoming problems that occur when hosting these resources on the internet. The presentation will also examine what data is available within Kipuka and how the data is used to meet the research needs of OHA. Also on the agenda is a glimpse into the goals of Kipuka and how OHA will provide GIS services to the public in the future.

City and County of Honolulu, Honolulu, HI
Disaster Management and Emergency Response III
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Honolulu faces a number of significant emergency management events each year: floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, fires - and less frequently, large special events, such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. Consequently, a great deal of thought and effort has gone into planning and emergency response preparedness. The City was an early adopter of GIS and has developed a comprehensive GIS for the city to support emergency operations, including the development of critical GIS layers, such as evacuation zones, flood zones, and critical infrastructure locations.
Traditionally, the standard operating procedures for City emergency managers included limited utilization of GIS tools and technology. The City and County of Honolulu Department of Emergency Management (DEM) received a grant for Geospatial Technology Enhancements (GTE) to improve emergency planning, response, and operations to more fully leverage existing City GIS data and systems. The project began in June of 2010. The goal was to install an advanced situational awareness viewer technology that supports the planning activities and emergency response operations that occur in the DEM Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The outcome was the deployment of the Honolulu Unified Assessment (HONUA) system. The system was put to the test during the recent APEC summit.

Real-Time Data Acquisition
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm
GIS applications, whether they are hosted on a desktop or an Internet server, can pull data content from the Internet using links, feeds and services. GeoRSS is a standard for feeds in which the URL points to an XML file with geospatial tags. For example, by reading a feed that contains point coordinates, a GIS application can track moving objects. Services come in many formats that can be "mashed-up" in GIS applications. Beyond map and image services, GIS applications can take advantage of services specifically designed to query features, locate addresses, create travel routes, run geospatial models (geoprocessing), and more. This presentation will draw examples from the City and County of Honolulu's HONUA system for emergency management which uses a combination of links, feeds and services to provide a common operating picture that updates in real-time.

Application Development
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm
Problem: How do you deliver streamlined and efficient map services on a limited GIS development budget?
Approach: Reuse a single map application template that has common elements but delivers focused information and functionality tailored to each stakeholder. The approach involved keeping the user interface simple-to-use to increase adoption rates - think cellphone interface not a 747 instrumentation panel. This significantly reduces the development time and cost. A reusable map template can be configured & implemented under a month.
Solution: Four (4) separate mapping applications: Parcel, Parks, Refuse Collection Sites, and Public Safety were developed using ESRI ArcGIS Server and the Silverlight platform. They all use a common template, share the same basemaps and deliver focused information in a homogenous user-friendly format.
Conclusion: In an enterprise environment, a map application template can be used successfully to solve all 4 stakeholders within budget while maintaining feature rich functionality and meeting various users' objectives. Development time was significantly reduced from 6 - 8 months to 1 - 2 months which allowed the City to offer services economically and sooner rather than later. Since 2009, the 4 maps in the ‘Fastmaps' series are all publicly available to Internet users along with the original ‘Advanced' map.

Wednesday March 7, 2012 - 10:45 am to noon
The City & County of Honolulu's Storm Water Application is a web-based GIS application that delivers powerful mapping, network tracing, and data access tools to users throughout the City. It is the culmination of a multi-year, collaborative effort by the City's Department of Planning and Permitting to improve the coverage, accuracy, and dissemination of its storm water-related GIS data. The application is designed around NPDES permit obligations the City is required to meet. The application is a completely custom ArcGIS Server Web ADF implementation. It is programmed in ASP.NET/VB.NET, incorporates custom ArcObjects modules, and integrates multiple City SQL data servers. The presentation will discuss (1) the user-interviews and NPDES requirements driving the design process, (2) the application's capabilities and toolsets, (3) a high-level review of its technical architecture, and (4) lessons learned. The presentation will also include a live demo (subject to internet access and technical support).

GIS in Education: K-12 and University

Hawaii became the first state in the nation to provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software throughout its entire educational system, thanks to an unprecedented partnership agreement between Esri, the Women In Technology (WIT) Program, and the State's Department of Education. The license allows every public, private and charter K-12 school throughout the state extraordinary access to Esri's state-of-the-art GIS tools.
An online distribution center allows WIT to seamlessly manage the statewide requests for the GIS software. To date, over 215 requests have been processed through the Hawaii GIS K-12 distribution site:

In addition, the GeoTech for Hawaii Schools program was created to augment the statewide GIS distribution. The initiative, GeoTech for Hawaii Schools, encompasses three parts: professional development for teachers, events for students, and ongoing support for teachers and students. We have engaged over two hundred twenty-five teachers Statewide, and potentially 32, 625 students.
