System

System requirements

  • Operating Systems: (Windows, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, Web-based, Others)
  • Other software needed (GIS, MIP packages, etc...)
  • Development status

Architecture and major DSS components

Describe the basic architecture of the system in software and hardware. Desktop client-server, web based, as well as the integration with available systems. Basic data flow, focusing on retrieval of required input and propagation and implementations of decisions. Mention its modular and scalability capabilities.

Usage

Describe the level of use: Research level use, Industry use, Government use

Computational limitations

Describe the system limitations: e.g. number of management units, number of vehicles, time horizon

User interface

Describe the quality of user interface and the Prerequisite knowledge for using the system

Documentation and support

Describe the connection to Help-system and possibilities for assistance, as well as the required training and user support levels

Installation

  • Prerequisite knowledge: Level of effort to become functional
  • Cost: (purchase price, development costs, demonstrated return on investment, cost of use, training costs, licence and maintenance costs)
  • Demo: allows the download/utilization of a trial version. If yes, where is it available and what are the trial conditions.
