TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task 3.1 Analysis of end-user requirements

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of end-user requirements Selection, definition and description of potential end-users by all project participants. Identification of user's knowledge level, computer skill, hardware and software possibilities to identify the actual environment. Definition of requested functionality - declaration of obligatory and optional requested functions. Recommendation for the level of user friendliness and automation Recommendation for the localisation level (lingual, legislative, convention requirements).

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of end-user requirements Main tool for identification of stakeholders, problems, regional validity, data availability: Questionnaire – prepared by Geo Group, VSB-TUO supplement it by „Conditions for implementation of a target system“. April, 30th – September, 2nd low response. Not rely only on questionnaire => preparation of „Specification of stakeholders“ for proposed DSS ENDUSER.DOC (distribution in June, 10 th ; August, 1 st ) description of a type of subject, activity, role (enduser x benefitors) and motivation; count Request for partners to complete the list Low response – only AUTh, AMGA, IWP, IC

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of end-user requirements it continues... A review of activities by type of end-user:

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of end-user requirements Meeting with stakeholders: –In every pilot area Meeting with partners (examples): –Ostrava, , representatives of WP1, WP3, WP5, WP7 coordination of activities done in these WPs, discussion about target and features of TRANSCAT DSS, stakeholders, preparing of questionnaire and steering committee –Prague, July 2 nd, August 6 th ; WP1 – WP3

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task 3.2 Analysis of existing DSS

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Review of existing projects and DSS’s - specification of data requirements, modularity, the user interface, explicitness of results and way of creating recommendations, the field of applications, determination of end-users what are possibilities/barriers to integrate these DSS to one system/metasystem Barriers, differences in functionality, in technology environment EUWARENESS, SLIM and MERIT + others Task Analysis of existing DSS

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Preparation „Structure of desired information“ Contacted coordinators of these projects, request to send us such information 21 projects, 8 responses, 4 provide useful information (HarmonIT, HarmoniQuA, Mulino, EUWARENESS) analysis of available documentation for every system, providing a retrieval study and ask authors and contact persons of each project to provide additional information Task Analysis of existing DSS

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Basic information prepared: –EUWARENESS –HarmonIT –HarmoniQua –HarmoniRIB –Harmoni-CA –Mulino –SMART –LOWRGREP –Tisza River Task Analysis of existing DSS List of contacted projects: Possible contribution, but still shortage of information: –SLIM –BMW –Clime –Daufin –FIRMA –Gouverne –TempQSim –HarmoniCOP –EuroHarp

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Shortage of already finished systems or published information about methodology etc. Preparation a Status report of our analysis of existing systems, summarisation of information in following fields: –Main deliverables –Development of DSS –Timeline of project –Project methodology –Stakeholder motivation –Definition of end-user –Conditions June, 24 th (v1), August 1 st (v2), September (v3,4) Conferences: HARMONI-CA Task Analysis of existing DSS

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of existing DSS Timetable of selected projects (includes only projects with known timetable)

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DSSs: –Floodworks –European Flood Forecasting System.

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task summary of „DSSs“ - kind of modelling …it continues...

TRANCAT Fifth Framework Programme ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Task Analysis of existing DSS The task is over, information will be used in Task 3.4 and by FEEM in WP2 we are not fully satisfied with the results concerning DSS systems -> we continue with our effort to obtain more information and provide testing and evaluation of them Cooperation with partners in evaluation of models, prepocessor/postprocessor and DSSs. we appeal to you for the help: –providing of trial or full version of DSS, –provide contact to users of DSS (genuine DSS), –prepare a description of modelling modules/systems which you use We plan to finish the report ”Analysis of selected DSS for the water management domain in borderland regions” (D3.1) according the time schedule (end of 2003).
