Abstract: |
The main goal of our system is to provide the end
user with information about an approaching disaster. The concept is to ensure
information access to adequate data for all potential users, including
citizens, local mayors, governments, and specialists, within
one system. It is obvious that there is a knowledge gap between the lay user
and specialist. Therefore, the system must be able to provide this
information in a simple format for the less informed user while providing
more complete information with computation adjustment and parameterization
options to more qualified users. One system feature in high demand is the ability
to display reliable and understandable graphical and textual information.
Information for various types of users must be adapted to a desired format which is understandable to a particular group of
people. For example, a specialist can ask for all available results from
different simulation models in text format. This type of information may be
useless, however, to the user who only wants to find out whether or not his
house will be flooded. Another
important feature is the open structure and modular architecture that enables
the usage of different modules. Modules can contain different functions,
alternative simulations or additional features. Since the architectural
structure is open, modules can be combined in any way to achieve any desired
function in the system. |
