Deliverables

Notes: (1) The Work Package lead partners are indicated by the highlighted box in the matrix. (2) Part of the work in these Work Packages was undertaken by tenured researchers of university institutions, working together with contract staff and post-graduates, hence the full effort is not represented in the person-months specified.

Objective:
To produce customised computer tools for real-world contexts of learning and policy debate, and validate them for their scientific contents and technical features, with reference to selected area(s) of interest.
Work description: Work Packages 4.A, 4.B, 4.C, 4.D
The Table on the following page summarises the Design Notions for the implementation of VIRTU@LIS for each of the four chosen environmental impact domains:
WP4.A Agriculture
WP4.B Climate change
WP4.C Fisheries
WP4.D Underground water resources
For each domain, four interactive modes were designed and implemented: a Personal Barometer, Scenario Generator, Virtual Visit, and Multi-Actor Game. This central part of the work was carried out in four principal phases as follows:

  • Data Acquisition, including cartographic data
  • Data Preparation
  • Model Preparation, Programming and Calibration
  • "Tuning" to ensure the release of a reliable environmental management or learning tool or a commercially attractive product.
