Conceptual user interface for the land management system

摘要: This paper explores the conceptual user interface requirements of Land Management System (LMS), a next-generation system designed to support development location-specific landscape/watershed management oriented simulation models. Currently available models tend be discipline-specific, focusing only on hydrology, ecology, social, economic or agronomic aspects landscape's subsystems. Feedback loops among different subsystems ignored, and this can result in long-term predictions that may not useful. LMS will provide landscape watershed managers with sets software modules linked together represent simulate unique local conditions. A design challenge is develop makes it possible for watershed/landscape manager use multidisciplinary spatially explicit retain scientific rigour current scientist-oriented outlines solution response challenge.
