AGENDA

• Introduction• Map Functionalities• Desktop Integration• Architecture / Troubleshooting• Coming Next

Interactive Map• C&E = Commodities & Energy• Commodity is a good for which there is demand

Soft commodities are goods that are grown Hard commodities are the ones that are extracted through mining. Energy commodities are electricity, gas, coal and oil. Electricity has the

particular characteristic that it is either impossible or uneconomical to store, hence, electricity must be consumed as soon as it is produced.

Physical Asset An asset such as a building or equipment that has a physical presence :

Mines, Refineries, etc..

Interactive MapIn a nutshell,

Interactive Map displays Physical Assets related to specific

CommoditiesCoal Mine Oil Refinery

Aluminium Smelter

Wheat Container(*)

Cobalt Refinery

Interactive Map – NeedsWhat is the specific client need that is being addressed? What problem is the proposition trying to solve?

Allow a user to understand the supply chain and assess the impact of events affecting the supply chain. An intuitive start point for analysis or a dashboard by using a map.

Why is a new proposition needed to serve this market? Why is Thomson Reuters best positioned to deliver it?

New displays (including maps) will help a user understand the supply chain and assess events. Re-work the database to integrate into our real time data.

Research showed that customers want to assess fundamentals in the context of news and prices.

What are the business benefits for our customers? What will they be able to do that they cannot do today?

Access to unique content

Easy access to multiple sources to increase speed of response

An intuitive start point for analysis of an event

Customisable analytics through a contextual, user-defined search and ability to export into excel

Ability to connect and analyse the supply chain and supply and demand balances

Ability to correlate assets and data to reduce the “unknowns” around an event

Ability to interact and share market intelligence with people who are relevant to the event you are analysing

What are the business benefits to Thomson Reuters? What are the financial and non financial benefits (e.g. skills, experience, etc.)?

Competitive Differentiators are unique content, global scale and coverage, access to expert network

Experience with mapping technology and improved weather analytics.

Interactive Map

Challenges• Performance• Volume and diversities of data : Mines, Oil

refineries, Oil Platforms, Vessels, KML, News headline, Real-time…

• Several data sources to consolidate : GPS, SnS, Bing, DaPS, News, Real-time…

7

Interactive Map - Performance- All network requests/responses are threaded- Batch requests- Use XPathDocument rather then XmlDocument- Use WPF binding rather than code behind (not that much !)- Reduce as far as possible number of graphical objects

(Clustering)- Special ObservableCollection (Batch events)- Protobuf serialization (Google)- Different kind of caches (kml, SnS, GPS, RCSs…)- Detect “non-sense” requests- Detect “obsolete” responses

Interactive Map - Data

~100 Physical Asset types- Vessels, Mines, Refineries, Smelters,…

• 19K large ships * ~200K smaller ships

• every 6h, ~10K ships are updated at once

• ship position is tracked near real-time

~350 Underlying Product types / Commodities

- Oils, Nickel, Tobacco, Egg, Cotton,…

~ 3825 Geographical regions

- States, Countries, Ports, Waypoints, Rivers,…
