style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I am looking for talents in ArcObject/VB programming
to customize Network Analyst (ArcGIS 9.1). The fundamental idea is to develop
a tool that will allow us to process our current enrollment and patient data in
either batch mode or interactively. The database is in the vicinity of 100
million records (annually) in ArcSDE and because it will take days if not
weeks to process those records, the tool should be able to process those records
incrementally. This will afford us the ability to minimize the impacts of unforeseen
interruptions such as computer network outages, maybe to fire several processes
against to the same database from different desktops, and to selectively
process a set of records such as that from a query. Additionally, the tool should
be implemented with some flexibilities (control through input parameters). For
instance, one wants to find out the travel time/distance from a patient’s address
to the clinic/hospital he visited as well as the names and travel time/distances
of the closest xxx clinics/hospitals from that same patient address. We can do
this interactively, but we just can’t handle 100 million records
interactively. </span></font></p>
