Spatial Cloud Computing And Gis Web Version, Urisa October 2012HughPW
The document discusses spatial cloud computing and its potential benefits for GIS applications. It introduces the concept of cloud computing and explains the different service models including SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. It outlines some of the appealing aspects of cloud computing like scalability, accessibility, and lower costs but also notes security and reliability issues. The document suggests GIS is well-suited for the cloud and introduces the idea of delivering spatial data as a service (DaaS) through cloud platforms.

"Cloud-Enabling GIS for Conservational Collaboration"
Abstract
As higher-level GIS capabilities rapidly move to the Web, or ‘the Cloud’ as it is increasingly being called the possibilities for a seamless, integrated GIS collaboration environment become a reality for all. One group that can especially benefit from ever-decreasing set-up, infrastructure and maintenance costs are Non-Government Organisations (NGOs). One such NGO with a GIS strategy to become fully ‘Cloud-Enabled’ is Amigos de Iracambi - a Brazilian non-profit organisation whose mission is to work with the community to make the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources in the Atlantic Rainforest more attractive than its destruction.
The document discusses the evolution of GIS from desktop-based to cloud-based systems hosted on the internet. It outlines several periods in GIS history, from pre-interactive to the current social-location-mobile period. The present involves mobile and cloud GIS, with location-based services accessible from various devices. Major players in cloud GIS are mentioned, with examples of capabilities like visualization, analysis, and geoprocessing available through cloud-hosted systems.
Deflect Praise, Take The Blame | Balaji Gopalan | ProductTank Toronto Product Tank Toronto
We are excited to have Balaji Gopalan, talk to us about deflecting praise and taking the blame when it comes to product management - one of the principles in the Manifesto.
Balaji is an experienced and well-known member of the Toronto technology community. Building off his extensive career in Product Management at companies such as BlackBerry (where he launched and built the initial roadmap for BlackBerry Messenger, and where he mentored many local business leaders), D2L, Nymi and EventMobi, he created and now teaches the Intro to Product Management course at Brainstation, a unique 30-hour curriculum that extends from product culture to customer research to product development to roadmap management.
Balaji is now a passionate advocate and active member of the Toronto entrepreneurial scene, as co-founder and CEO of healthcare app enabler company MedStack, member of the selection committee at the Ryerson DMZ and advisor and mentor to a number of local startups.
Thanks to our generous sponsors: The Working Group (TWG), Hover, and LoyaltyOne.

This document summarizes a presentation about cloud computing and its uses for GIS. Cloud computing provides scalable computing resources and applications as an on-demand service over the internet. The document defines different types of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). It provides examples of how Esri and other organizations are using the cloud, including deploying ArcGIS Server on Amazon Web Services and hosting web applications on ArcGIS.com. The benefits and risks of cloud computing for GIS are also discussed.

This document discusses two ArcGIS applications deployed in the cloud by the Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team (FHTET). A public Forest Pest Conditions Viewer application allows users to explore forest pest impact data. A secured Disturbance Mapper application uses remote sensing data to identify disturbed forest areas and enable analysis of the causes and effects of disturbances. Both applications were built with ArcGIS Server 10 and deployed to Amazon Web Services for scalability and convenience.
GID Reform in the DSM-5 and ICD-11: a Status Update Kelley Winters
A presentation I prepared for the 2013 Philadelphia Transgender Health Conference, but did not have the opportunity to attend. Summary of recent changes to gender related diagnostic categories in the DSM-5, published last month by the American Psychiatric Association, and proposed changes for the ICD-11, scheduled for publication in 2015 by the World Health Organization.
This slide set was delivered at the Association of Geogrphic Information to recruit Alpha testers to "MapMarvel". It covers disruptive technology, the emergence of cloud based applications and how incumbent businesses are missing the point. MM provides the tools to make Cloud based GIS a reality for everyone...
This document summarizes the evolution of GIS from specialized desktop tools to modern cloud-based platforms that enable broader access and use of geographic information. It describes how GIS has transitioned from enterprise systems used by analysts to pervasive tools available on any device via cloud services like ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Online is presented as a new paradigm that leverages the cloud to securely store, manage and share maps, apps, and data and allows easy integration of content from various sources to empower users.
The document provides an introduction to cloud computing, defining key concepts such as cloud, cloud computing, deployment models, and service models. It explains that cloud computing allows users to access applications and store data over the internet rather than locally on a device. The main deployment models are public, private, community, and hybrid clouds, while the main service models are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides fundamental computing resources, PaaS provides development platforms, and SaaS provides software applications to users. The document discusses advantages such as lower costs and universal access, and disadvantages including internet dependence and potential security issues.
This document presents an introduction to cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as using remote servers and the internet to maintain data and applications. It describes the characteristics of cloud computing including APIs, virtualization, reliability, and security. It discusses the different types of cloud including public, private, community, and hybrid cloud. It also defines the three main cloud stacks: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The benefits of cloud computing are reduced costs, improved accessibility and flexibility. Cloud security and uses of cloud computing are also briefly discussed.
