Assignment Ii

Dear Mr.Levent UCUZAL, We are graduate students in the Department of Geographic Information Technology (GGIT) in the Middle East Technical University. We all have been taking a course named Introduction to Geographic Information System. The lecturer of this course, Ph.Dr.Ahmet Çizmeli, has given some lab assignments. He arranged in groups of three and each group consists of three students. In the last lab assignments the lecturer asked us to choose a scientific problem that was already addressed with GIS technologies and presented it in the classroom. When we resarched via Internet to find a proper subject for our assignment, we encountered importance of GIS in Command and Control Information Systems (CCIS). So we decided to tackle the problem of the complex operating challenges of today's military forces. While doing some research for some scientific writing via Internet on this subject, we found your article about CCIS on “http://www.cartesia.org/geodoc/isprs2004/comm2/papers/206.pdf ” website. It was writen rather sophisticated and clearly on CCIS. Your study is quite an instructive article to explain using GIS about CCIS. Thank you for the very clear explanation of this CCIS, it was a pleasure to read to your introductive article. We believe that, this subject is also an attractive subject to make detail investigations. We prepared a presentation based on your article and present it in the classroom last week. Our second assignment is about to contact the autor(s) that he wrote the article which we presented last week in the classroom and its deadline is November 5, 2008. We would be very grateful, if you would make some contributions to our second assignment. Thank you for your cooperation. Yours sincerely,

Mr.Y I was very pleased to hear that you have considered our article to worthy of being read and based it on for your assignment. As mentioned in our article, CCIS is a very crucial issue in military area and security is the main problem. I know the studies of GIS in GGIT. I believe you are not going to share the data my sent. Please inform me about what you want me to do exactly? I want you know that I'll do my best to help you. In this context, please make a list of things you feel you need to accomplish your assignment and send me the list through an email. Best regards,

We would also greatly appreciate your feedback, ideas and input on how we achieve this aim.

We certainly appreciate your support to sustain our efforts. We would be very grateful, if you provide us a high resolution aerial photograph or satellite imagery, base layout, trial version of your software and spatial data set, which were all used in your article. We would like to cite about your company in our presentation as base reference,therefore, we hope you are pleased with the results of our assignment and any benefits we provide to your company.

Mr.Y The items in your list are too big to send through email. It is also inconsistent with our company security policy.
