Demonstrating professional creativity, unique insight, and technical excellence, Adasphere applies modern tools, techniques, and best practices to develop timely solutions to interesting problems.
Adasphere has participated in a wide range of projects often involving highly specialized disciplines. These projects include air quality, installation management, asset inventory, enhanced 911 implementation, facility utilization, land record systems, master planning, terrain analysis, trajectory analysis, transportation, and wireless telecommunications.
(2008-2011) Adasphere was granted a subcontract to provide geospatial analysis, statistical analysis, software development, and emissions data analysis support to the Clean Air Markets Division. Work includes performing probalistic statistical analysis and helping to ensure the quality of emissions data reported to the EPA and the associated database persistence, aggregation, and replication mechanisms. Adasphere primarily supports complex data analysis under this contract plus software development support for geospatial applications, the Emissions Data Analysis Tool (EDAT), the CAMD Statistics application, and TTFA desktop (Target Tool for Field Auditing).
(2008-2009) The United States Air Force, Air Combat Command awarded Adasphere a contract to refactor and enhance the USAF GeoBase Desktop Toolkit. Aligned with the Department of Defense vision for worldwide data sharing, GeoBase provides a common operational picture for decision makers. The GeoBase Desktop Toolkit (GDT) is a standalone geographic information system (GIS) application that enables data stewards at Air Force bases throughout the Air Combat Command to edit geospatial data without incurring the typical licensing costs of expensive GIS software packages. Adasphere used ArcGIS ArcObjects and ArcEngine as the core GIS component to GDT.
(Awarded 2007-2011) Adasphere has been providing support for the Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) and other related programs of the EPA. Adasphere has been deeply involved with the development and re-engineering of information systems, databases, geographic information systems, and models. These systems are used for the analysis of the regulations, policies, and issues that are pertinent to environmental quality.
(2007-2011) Under a consulting agreement, Adasphere is to provide support services for domestic and global climate initiatives and global climate change programs. Technical objectives include the modification and enhancement of the Emissions Data Analysis Tool (EDAT), the development of additional GIS mapping tools, and the analyses of the potential and actual impacts of sea-level rise using terrain models, wetlands data, and tidal data.
TTFA is a desktop application used by the EPA to evaluate the quality of data using a variety of data and statistical analysis techniques
EDAT is a powerful tool for analyzing unit and emissions data. It enables complex filtering, multi-level aggregation, unit profiling, emissions analysis, ad hoc query development, and custom charting.
CAMD Statistics is a software application used to access intermediate and official/final emissions data. The unit data is pre-filtered, -grouped, and -aggregated (e.g. by region , state, fuel type, unit type, control type, etc.) for easy generation of emissions reports and presentations that cover a variety of periods (day, month, year, etc.), pollutants (NOx, SO2, CO2), and other relevant information (heat rate, heat input, etc.). Features also include a variety of easy-to-use filtering and charting features. The CAMD Stastitics application simplifies the creation of annual reports like the Acid Rain Report and the NOx Budget Report. For more complex analyses, analysts and engineers use the EDAT and TTFA applications.
Adasphere staff participated in the re-engineering, architecture, and design of the EPA’s Emissions Inventory System. Domain-driven design and agile programming techniques result in thorough documentation and excellent communication between managers, developers, end-users, and customers. Outputs include various diagrams that are easy-to-read from various perspectives. These techniques are also used in other projects.
Adasphere staff designed and implemented several enterprise, web-based geographic information systems used in the management of military installations. They provide the capability for users to draw features directly on a web-based map, perform geographic analysis, and link documents to geographic features. They also integrate facilities management systems, hazardous management systems, personnel databases, active directory information, and geo-referenced floor plans. Each component of the whole system is encapsulated into an application programming interface (API) and can be used in other applications, deployed to different platforms, and exposed via web services.
