This talk will present best practices for using the AGI Components Communications Library. Learn how to develop software which models the signal links between platforms using the antenna models and propagation effects provided by this library. A comparison with the STK/Communications Specialized Analysis Module will also be provided.

Discover the functionality, usability and sample code planned for AGI's "Routing Library." This library creates dynamic ground, sea and air vehicle routes for mission planning.

Learn the major features of this new 3D visualization component, including terrain, imagery, primitives, overlays and camera control. A wide array of code examples, screen shots, demos and performance best practices are also included.

AGI Components are built to take advantage of the latest processor technologies, such as multi-core processors, which allow multiple computational threads to work toward a problem solution in parallel,and 64-bit processors, which use significantly larger process memory spaces. Learn how the AGI Components team leveraged a Dual Quad Core, 64-bit Windows XP Workstation with 32 GB memory to quickly solve the complex problem of identifying possible collisions between nearly 12,000 Earth-orbiting satellites and debris.

Components are among AGI's newest technologies. Come to this panel to learn how your peers are putting the software to work and how you and your company could benefit from using these low-level functional libraries and visualization components.

Uncover the basics of the STK/Astrogator Object Model, including points like stopping conditions and single segment mode. A simple scenario including targeting will be created. Discover the new scripting tool via examples such as having one control map to more than one place, using ST as an initial guess tool and using the ST to augment MCS logic.

Learn how to utilize the STK Engine from AGI's Java API in various Java application configurations. Specifically, key points/best practices/code samples will be discussed for embedding the Map/Globe/Object Model in AWT/Swing and SWT RCP applications on Windows/Linux/UNIX platforms.

Get your RT3 development feet wet with an overview of RT3 architecture, plug-in points and integration options.

The STK 9 Object Model features usability improvements including code snippets, new automation events and many coarse-grained convenience functions for rapid development. Several code examples demonstrating the new interfaces will be presented.

Integrators can now create custom workflows for the STK 9 desktop via User Interface (UI) Plugins. Examples will show how you can design toolbars, GUI panels and context menu options that integrate third-party or in-house capabilities inside of STK.

Learn from a master Orbit Determination Tool Kit scripter advanced techniques and tricks for manipulating ODTK scenarios and interfacing with STK & STK/Astrogator maneuvers. ODTK 6 scripting improvements will be highlighted. Examples in several scripting languages will be provided.
