Abstract
![]() Technical Challenges in the Implementation of a Space Management System Track: Application Development Author(s): Robert Gage, Raymond Gates NASA Langley Research Center manages in excess of 300 buildings with more than 4,000 personnel and an average of 1,000 moves required every year to adapt to a dynamic workforce and changing mission objectives. To manage this space effectively, tools and techniques based on ArcGIS, ArcIMS, and Oracle technologies have been developed to assist space utilization managers in this task. This paper will describe the technical issues and challenges in the design, development, and implementation of this system. Topics will include schema design, development of custom layers for visualization and editing of spatially assigned assets, data management and analysis by leveraging Oracle functionality, and implementation of algorithms to optimize space assignment.
