Objectives:

• To develop a generic conceptual model for the Open Modelling Interface and Environment that will enable the concepts of the system to be explained to users at all levels and which meets the requirement defined in WP2.
• To develop the high level system architecture by which the conceptual model will be implemented. The architecture will define the main components, their relationship one to another, the information that will flow between them, the mechanisms by which they will communicate, the means by which control will be exerted.
• To achieve positive acceptance of the model and architecture by the potential user community.
