Work Package 8. Proof of concept

Objectives :

  • To apply the new mechanisms to one or more real integrated water management situations requiring the linking of models in order to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of the approach.
  • To test (in increasing order of complexity):
    • Simple linking by file exchange
    • The ability to build simple linked models from the components produced by the project, where the models are drawn from different organisations.
    • The ability to handle scale, resolution, frequency and unit of measurement differences between models
    • Swapping one model for another where the model dimensionality is changed, e.g. swapping a 1 dimensional model for a two dimensional model.
    • The ability to represent feed back loops
  • To test the Guidelines from WP7.
