SUMMARY:Software Development For Research: Team-Based Programming Practices
DESCRIPTION:Software development and computer programming is increasingly a major part of scientific research. When small or large teams are involved in coding the same project\, it’s a good idea to adopt team-based practices\, such as “pair programming” or “code review” meetings\, to ensure quality is maintained in the code. This hands-on workshop will provide examples of these topics in action\, and attendees will leave prepared to use these skills in their own work groups. \nThis is part of a series of workshops focused on software and coding from a research perspective.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – IV (Digitization)
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. Typically\, each workshop is divided into one hour of lecture-style presentation and half an hour of hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R. \nIn many fields old paper maps and images provide historical and time series information and need to be digitized with spatially explicit coordinates. In this workshop we will develop a basic understanding of how to efficiently digitize paper maps and images that contain spatial information. We will use ArcGIS and R for the hands-on part.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – II (Vector and network data models)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. The first one hour of the workshop is a lecture-style presentation\, followed by the next half-hour for the hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R. \nHow data is recorded in a digital system has significant implications for accuracy\, algorithms\, and the type of analyses that can be undertaken.  In this workshop we will cover data structure for vector and network data in the context of a 2-D GIS system. The focus is on developing a basic understanding of elements such as essential primitives\, how more complex objects are derived from the primitives\, and different formats and file systems.

SUMMARY:Advanced Graphics Optimization For Data Visualization In Unity3D
DESCRIPTION:Modern 3D game engines and computer hardware can render convincing graphics\, rivaling that of pre-rendered 3D animation. But video games still require special optimization techniques and tricks. This relates directly to perceived capabilities for data visualization and serious applications: we can generate and render thousands of interactive objects. But what about millions? \nThis workshop will go over different techniques to render as many objects as possible at once in Unity3D\, with the context of visualizing data as a point-cloud. Examples will include (but not be limited to) GPU Instancing\, Unity’s Particle System\, and Compute Shaders. It is strongly recommended that attendees be familiar with Unity3D prior to this workshop to get the most out of the session.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – I (Coordinate systems)
DESCRIPTION:This is the first workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient understanding for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. Typically\, each workshop is divided into one hour of lecture-style presentation and half an hour of hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R for the hands-on portion. \n\nThere are 100s of coordinate systems and datums available in modern software that provide GIS functionalities. A basic understanding of different coordinate systems\, their strength and limitations\, and conversion between different systems are essential for choosing the right system and manipulating geographically referenced data. In this workshop we will cover the basics of coordinate systems for 2-D GIS from an applied perspective.

SUMMARY:Spatial regression models
DESCRIPTION:This lecture-style workshop will introduce relevant concepts and techniques for modelling cross-sectional data observed on regular (such as remote sensing pixels) or irregular (such as Census polygons) lattice. Such data often exhibits spatial dependence and is common across several fields. \n\nWe will cover the following topics: motivating examples from time series; spatial random fields and stationarity; spatial autocorrelation measures including Moran’s I; neighborhood or adjacency matrices that capture spatial dependence; and spatial autoregressive models including their estimation and interpretation. \n\nPlease note that the material will be discussed in a lecture style presentation with little or no hands-on components.  You should know linear regression well.
