SOLERES-HCI: Modelling a human-computer interaction framework for open EMS

Abstract

Organizations and administrations working on environmental information for specific behaviors of soil or planning management of natural resources need to have innovator systems of quality information in order to guarantee the success of theirs daily activities. Experts managing the system consider that not only it is important to have reliable and updated information in order to help to make the most suitable decisions. Due to the variety of final users that cooperate and interact with the decision making system (for instance, politicians, technicians, administrators, etc.) it is also important to have realtime query systems that facilitate the human-human and human-computer interaction and coordination not only with user interfaces that adapt to the users' profiles habits, but also with intelligent software agents. In this work we advance some ideas about the HCI framework of the SOLERES project, an Environmental Management System (EMS) that fixes, defines and experiences solutions to problems previously described.
