  2. Learning Objectives • Differences between traditional GIS software and Cloud-based GIS services • ArcGIS suite products in the cloud • Detailed aspects of Cloud GIS applications through three use cases • Benefits and limitations of Cloud GIS

  3. Learning Materials • Videos: • Chapter_7-Video_1.mp4 • Chapter_7-Video_2.mp4 • From Esri Video: http://video.esri.com/watch/2515/arcgis-online-with-jack-dangermond-_and_-lauren-bennett • Chapter_7-Video_3.mp4 • Scripts, Files and others: • Chapter_7_ArcGIS_Online_UseCase_Data.zip

  4. Learning Modules • Introduction • ArcGIS in the Cloud • ArcGIS Online • ArcGIS for Server • GIS Software as a Service • Mobile GIS Service • Use Cases • Conclusion & Discussion • Questions

  5. Traditional GIS software • Based on desktops or local servers • Single users, mostly GIS experts • Requires the installation and maintenance • Hardware • Software • Cannot support the needs of large-scale concurrent access

  6. Cloud enabled GIS / Cloud GIS • Definition: • Cloud computing provides the computing capability to build and deploy GIS as a service. • Provides new solutions • no installation and maintenance requirements of software • unlimited computing resources and storage space • on-demand services • Extends the application scope of GIS

  7. Learning Modules • Introduction • ArcGIS in the Cloud • ArcGIS Online • ArcGIS for Server • GIS Software as a Service • Mobile GIS Service • Use Cases • Conclusion & Discussion • Questions

  8. ArcGIS OnlineA New Platform for GIS Professionals • Cloud-based system • No installing and configuring required • Provides • High Quality Content • API’s for Development • A Framework for Sharing • Easily Discoverable Applications • User Communities

  9. ArcGIS OnlineA New Platform for GIS Professionals • Hosted Services • Hosted Feature Services • Hosted Tile Map Services • Content Services • Map Services • Topographic Map Services • Image Services • Bing Maps • Task Services • Geosearch • Geocoding • Routing • Geometry

  10. ArcGIS for ServerA Complete and Integrated Server GIS • GIS Services central management and delivery • On-demand response for maps and GIS tools • Integration with enterprise applications • ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Server Supports a Wide Range of Applications • ArcGIS Desktop • Server • Deliver Maps and GIS Capabilities to Web, Mobile, and Desktop Applications • Mobile • ArcGIS for AutoCAD • ArcGIS Explorer

  11. GIS Software as a Service • Provide focused, cloud-based clients and applications • Integrate large volumes of geographic information • Closely associated with both application areas (e.G., Geo-business, policy, and community mapping) and the GIS community in general • Meet consumers’ demand of using GIS in a service-based environment without acquiring the data or the technology

  12. Mobile GIS Service • ArcGIS for Windows Mobile and Windows Tablet • ArcGIS for Smartphones and Tablets

  13. Learning Modules • Introduction • ArcGIS in the Cloud • ArcGIS Online • ArcGIS for Server • GIS Software as a Service • Mobile GIS Service • Use Cases • Conclusion & Discussion • Questions

  14. Use case IRegional analysis of Oregon using ArcGIS Online Note: Please download data, named “Chapter_7_ArcGIS_Online_UseCase_Data.zip”, prior to create the map. • Choose basemaps • Add layers • Add data Video: Chapter_7-Video_1.mp4

  15. Use case IRegional analysis of Oregon using ArcGIS Online • Symbol modification • Save the map • Post and share Video: Chapter_7-Video_2.mp4

  16. Use case IIBrisbane City Council Flood Common Operating Picture using ArcGIS for Server • Built with ArcGIS server on amazon EC2 • Developed by the staff working in ESRI australiapty. Ltd. (2011) • Helps agencies respond to the floods • Helps residents of affected areas access current information on the evolving situation • Outstanding functions: • Comprehensive, real-time picture of the flood • Allowed users to turn on and off the information layers as needed (property damage and evacuation center locations) The BCC Flood COP shows the flood extent and BCC operational sectors on top of a basemap provided by Map Data Services. The BCC Flood COP displays the operational sectors and the extent of flooding.

  17. Use case IIIPennsylvania State Parks Viewer using ArcGIS for Server Video: Chapter_7-Video_3.mp4 • Interactive map of the Pennsylvania department of conservation and natural resources • Built with ArcGIS server on amazon EC2 • For discovering Pennsylvania state park information • Useful tools: • Easily extract data, add data to ArcMap and google earth, create PDF, and print • Distance measure, lat/long coordinates, annotation, and weather forecast Park search in State Parks mode Detailed information of one searched site

  18. Conclusion & Discussion • This chapter introduces a variety of cloud-based applications and services by using ArcGIS suite products as an example. • Pioneering steps for applying the cloud into GIS domain, empowering GIS with • sufficient computing capabilities, • minimized energy cost, • fast response, • wide accessibility to the public as needed • How to fully utilize the capabilities and advantages of the cloud is still a big issue. • More radical and solid progress would take place toward mature Cloud GIS systems and architectures.

  19. Questions 1. This chapter illustrates several applications utilizing Cloud GIS including supporting large-scale concurrent access and computing requirements, such as assisting emergency response. What other applications or stories can you think of as an example? 2. What are the four components of ArcGIS in the Cloud? What do you think make them exclusive? 3. Do you think ArcGIS Online is already a complete SaaS application or not? Based on what functionalities do you think so? 4. What are the functionalities of ArcGIS for Server that makes it different from local servers? 5. What other GIS Software as a Service can you think of which intensively utilizing Cloud? 6. Find another application in ArcGIS for Server Showcase (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisserver/showcase) and demonstrate it in the class.
