Explain how spatial metaphors can be used to illustrate the relationship among ideas
Explain how spatialization is a core component of visual analytics
Evaluate graphic techniques used to portray spatializations
Create a pseudo-topographic surface to portray the relationships in a collection of documents
Create a concept map that represents the contents and topology of a physical or social process

Describe extensions to relational DBMS to represent temporal change in attributes
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of existing space-time models based on storage efficiency, query performance, ease of data entry, and ability to implement in existing software
Create a GIS database that models temporal information
Utilize two different space-time models to characterize a given scenario, such as a daily commute
Describe the architecture of data models (both field and object based) to represent spatio-temporal phenomena
Differentiate the two types of temporal information to be modeled in databases: database (or transaction) time and valid (or world) time
Identify whether it is important to represent temporal change in a particular GIS application
Describe SQL extensions for querying temporal change

Describe how multiple, different types of agents in a given system behave and interact with each other and their environment
Generate multiple, different types of agents in a given system
Describe how multiple parameters (e.g., number of agents, variability of agents, random number seeds for different series of random events or choices during each simulation) can be set within an agent-based model to change the model behavior
Explain how agent behaviors can be used to represent the effects actors have on each other and on their environment

Develop a standardization criterion that recasts values into a statement of fuzzy set membership

Describe how state GIS councils can be used in enterprise GIS&T implementation processes
Explain the functions, mission, history, constituencies, and activities of your state GIS Council and related formal and informal bodies
Discuss how informal and formal regional bodies (e.g., Metro GIS) can help support GIS&T in an organization
Discuss the mission, history, constituencies, and activities of National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC)
Determine if your state has a Geospatial Information Office (GIO) and discuss the mission, history, constituencies, and activities of a GIO

Explain the relevance of the concept “parallax” in stereoscopic aerial imagery
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of photogrammetric methods and LiDAR for production of terrain elevation data
Specify the technical components of an aerotriangulation system
Outline the sequence of tasks involved in generating an orthoimage from a vertical aerial photograph

List the two basic assumptions of the purely random process
Exemplify non-stationarity involving first and second order effects
Differentiate between isotropic and anisotropic processes
Discuss the theory leading to the assumption of intrinsic stationarity
Outline the logic behind the derivation of long run expected outcomes of the independent random process using quadrat counts
Exemplify deterministic and spatial stochastic processes
Justify the stochastic process approach to spatial statistical analysis

Compare and contrast agent-based models and cellular automata as approaches for modeling spatial processes
Describe how agent-based models use object-oriented programming constructs of inheritance and encapsulation to represent the behavior of heterogeneous and interactive and adaptive actors

Define basic terms of query processing (e.g., SQL, primary and foreign keys, table join)
Create an SQL query to retrieve elements from a GIS
Explain the basic logic of SQL syntax
Demonstrate the basic syntactic structure of SQL

Describe how a network of stream channels and ridges can be estimated from a DEM
Explain how ridgelines and streamlines can be used to improve the result of an interpolation process
