Geo-Spatial Model Integration Using ArcGIS and Python
Track: Modeling Techniques
Authors: Harutyun Shahumyan

Developing a new model is an expensive and time consuming task. Instead, linking existing models is often used for integrated modelling. ArcGIS Model Builder and Python can be effective tools to organize and visualize data exchange between different spatial models. The suggested approach is especially efficient when the models are developed in different programming languages, their source code is not available or the licensing restrictions are making other coupling approaches not applicable.
