City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST3 The Capabilities of HarmoniQuA MoST Enables set-up of a multidisciplinary model-based project for water management Facilitates fine-tuning of modelling process definition by skipping irrelevant tasks from templates Monitors the work of modelling teams Facilitates reporting for specific audiences Advises using experience from previous modelling projects

City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST4 How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (1) Project administrator defines a project in terms of: Subproject, disciplines / domains (GW, HD, PR, FF, WQ, BI, SE) Tasks of the model project Users and their roles (Water manager, modeller, auditor, stakeholder, public) Authorisation of users Etc. Start project

City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST5 How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (2) Client –server, with Server application stored on a central server (LAN, Internet) Client application (= MoST) on a local PC Users undertake a task within their ‘role’ by Starting it Doing one or more activities (or skipping them) Several users can conduct an activity simultaneously Doing an activity involves describing it, (automatically) fill-in start/end dates, selecting methods, attaching files to the activity, making decisions, etc.

City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST10 MoST = methodology? MoST: Guides modelling teams through a network of tasks Knowledge base with guidelines: Collected and improved by experienced modellers Discussed with many others Therefore shared by substantial parts of the professional community Monitors the work of modelling teams and allows Auditing (with scoreboards) Reconstructing model projects Provides a conceptual framework for multidisciplinary modelling Is MoST a methodology? yes !

City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST11 Effectiveness / efficiency Some opinions / prejudices: It’s too cumbersome Too prescriptive Inefficient Too rigid, a straightjacket Too complex Is this true? Find out yourselves !
12
City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST12 Conclusions Complex, but easy to learn Flexible Guiding, but not forcing Training material aims at flattening the steep learning curve Hands-on experience is MoST persuading to use it
