• Track 1 – CIM Basics and Enterprise Integration (_______) – Morning sessions provide a comprehensive introduction to the IEC 61968/61970 CIM standards, CIM UML model, and how they are used in electric utility operations and planning • Recommended for power engineers and IT professionals needing a comprehensive overview of the CIM UML model and standards – Afternoon sessions cover the use of the CIM standards for enterprise integration and explore the integration and messaging portions of the CIM standard • Recommended for people with basic understanding of the CIM who are interested in learning detailed information about the 61968 CIM series of standards for back office integration and messaging for both distribution and transmission systems

• Track 2 – CIM and Network Analysis (_______) – Focuses on the use of the CIM for transmission and distribution power system network modeling – Provides detailed training in the use of the CIM for supporting network analysis and explores each of the profiles of the 61970 standard • Recommended for people interested in the CIM primarily as a tool for facilitating network model management and exchange • Recommended for Distribution Operators, Transmission Operators, and ISO/RTO’s involved in network model management and analysis similar to ONCOR, AEP or ERCOT

• Track 3 – CIM Tools (_____) – This track is designed to provide a “hands-on” approach to open source tools commonly used to create CIM applications – Tools to be reviewed and demonstrated include • Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA) used to manage and maintain the CIM UML model, including philosophies and methodologies for UML modeling • CIM Tool used to manage and generate CIM-derived models, profiles, and schemas • Schema Composer – the Sparx EA Add-in profiling tool used to generate CIM profiles from the CIM UML model • CIMConte. Xtor/CIMSyntax. Gen – a Sparx EA Add-in to create and manage UML models and UML-based profiles and to auto-generate schemas • Modsarus/Rise. Clipse profiling tools for use case modeling • Using OWL (Ontology Web Language) to generate CIM Profiles
