Discuss the impact of the Internet on the geospatial industry since the mid-1990s
Assess the impact of technology convergence, such as spatial technologies with Web services, wireless, and grid computing
Identify future trends in computer science and information technology as they relate to GIS designs in organizations
Evaluate the possible implications of technologies (e.g., Google Earth, Microsoft Live Local, vehicle navigation systems) in popularizing GIS&T
Discuss the evolution of enterprise GIS toward integrated business applications within, across, and between organizations
Utilize resources (e.g., conferences, journals) to keep up to date on ongoing research in developing enterprise and intra-organizational GISs

Compare and contrast Boolean and fuzzy logical operations
Compare and contrast several operators for fuzzy aggregation, including those for intersect and union
Exemplify one use of fuzzy aggregation operators
Describe how an approach to map overlay analysis might be different if region boundaries were fuzzy rather than crisp
Describe fuzzy aggregation operators

Describe how linear functions are used to fuzzify input data (i.e., mapping domain values to linguistic variables)
Support or refute the statement by Lotfi Zadeh, that “As complexity rises, precise statements lose meaning and meaningful statements lose precision,” as it relates to GIS&T
Explain why fuzzy logic, rather then Boolean algebra models, can be useful for representing real world boundaries between different tree species

Define fuzzy measures and give an example of a fuzzy measure
Explain how numerical values can be mapped onto linguistic variables (e.g., “big,” “distant”)
Explain how and why fuzzy measures can be used in geocomputation
