Re: what about a geodata session at swarmfest?

[Sander Oom]

Paul,

A session on GIS and Swarm sounds very interesting. Unfortunately 
I'll not be able to be there this year.

I just started a PhD on foraging behaviour. I hope to build a spatially 
explicit individual-based model in Swarm. One of the inputs will be a 
vegetation mosaic. I'm not sure if I need a live link between the GIS 
and Swarm, but it will make things a lot easier if they work together 
in some way.

Do you know that ArcInfo version 7 allows for C programs to call 
Arc commands? Like a client-server relationship. Avenue (ArcView) 
also offers some options for co-operation.

I would be very interested if you would send a summary of the 
workshop to this mailinglist.

Good luck,

Sander.
