Workshop by Oracle
Target workshop audience
GIS Practitioners, Project Managers, IT Architects and anyone interested in creating, maintaining and using 3D City Models
Workshop duration
90 minutes
Detailed description of workshop
This workshop will cover various aspects of 3D city modeling from model creation to visualization to data maintenance as well as the practical use of the resulting models. Purpose of the workshop is to share project experience and best practices by looking at various reference implementations. All project examples are based on 3DCityDB, an open source data model implementing the CityGML standard, which comes with a number of tools and components for data management and visualization.
Workshop Coordinators
Stephan Plabst has a Diplom-Ingenieur of surveying from the Technical University of Munich. After first being an assistant lecturer at the university, he now works as consultant at M.O.S.S. Computer Grafik Systeme. In this role he oversees several projects working with large to huge sized 3D city models on state and country level. He is responsible for introducing and maintaining systems installed at the customer sites. Also he is advising customers with regard to systems managing spatial data and workflows.

Dr. Lutz Ross studied Landscape Planning at the Technical University of Berlin. He finished his studies in 2006 with a Diploma Thesis on the parametric creation of 3D City Models from existing base map data. After his studies he first worked as a research assistant at the renowned Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam at the Chair of Computer Graphics Systems before he returned to the Technical University of Berlin. There he managed several research projects before finishing his PhD on the application of 3D City Models in Environmental Planning in 2010. During his PhD studies he visited the University of East Anglia in Norwich and the University of British Columbia in Canada. After a short term self-employment he joined virtualcitySYSTEMS GmbH in October 2010 where he acted as Head of System Integration and Product Manage before he became CEO of virtualcitySYSTEMS in 2015.
Dr. Ross has a strong believe in the benefits of using 3D city and landscape models for environmental planning and management. Ever since he first touched GIS systems he has been pushing the limits to create and use three-dimensional digital models of real world scenarios. Together with Dr. Claus Nagel who is CTO at virtualcitySYSTEMS he shapes the strategic development of their 3D SDI components and innovative Urban Simulation tools.
