  1. HarmoniQuA MoST Presenter affiliation name - country <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  2. Index • Modelling Support Tool - MoST • What are its capabilities? • How is it used? • How does it look? • How to get detailed instructions? • How to obtain your copy of MoST? • How to participate? • Methodology? • Effectiveness / efficiency • Conclusion <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  3. The Capabilities of HarmoniQuA MoST • Enables set-up of a multidisciplinary model-based project for water management • Facilitates fine-tuning of modelling process definition by skipping irrelevant tasks from templates • Monitors the work of modelling teams • Facilitates reporting for specific audiences • Advises using experience from previous modelling projects <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  4. How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (1) • Project administrator defines a project in terms of: • Subproject, disciplines / domains (GW, HD, PR, FF, WQ, BI, SE) • Tasks of the model project • Users and their roles (Water manager, modeller, auditor, stakeholder, public) • Authorisation of users • Etc. • Start project <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  5. How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (2) • Client –server, with • Server application stored on a central server (LAN, Internet) • Client application (= MoST) on a local PC • Users undertake a task within their ‘role’ by • Starting it • Doing one or more activities (or skipping them) • Several users can conduct an activity simultaneously • Doing an activity involves describing it, (automatically) fill-in start/end dates, selecting methods, attaching files to the activity, making decisions, etc. <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  6. How does MoST look?

  7. How to get detailed instructions? • Training material includes: • Presentations • Instructional movies on MoST (flash screen recordings): • HarmoniQuA • Guidelines (KB) • Model project set-up • Project execution • Reporting • Advising • Hands-on exercises / workshops / case studies • Background information <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  8. Obtaining your copy of MoST? • http://harmoniqua.wau.nl/most/install.htm • www.HarmoniQuA.org/deliverables.htm • CD-ROM <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  9. How to participate? • Go to www.HarmoniQuA.org/tools • Register (for free) • Login • Give comments on modelling guidelines • Give comments on glossary • Participate by filling in and returning questionnaires • Etc. <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  10. MoST = methodology? • MoST: • Guides modelling teams through a network of tasks • Knowledge base with guidelines: • Collected and improved by experienced modellers • Discussed with many others • Therefore shared by substantial parts of the professional community • Monitors the work of modelling teams and allows • Auditing (with scoreboards) • Reconstructing model projects • Provides a conceptual framework for multidisciplinary modelling • Is MoST a methodology?  yes ! <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  11. Effectiveness / efficiency • Some opinions / prejudices: • It’s too cumbersome • Too prescriptive • Inefficient • Too rigid, a straightjacket • Too complex • Is this true? Find out yourselves ! <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST

  12. Conclusions • Complex, but easy to learn • Flexible • Guiding, but not forcing • Training material aims at flattening the steep learning curve • Hands-on experience is MoST persuading to use it <presenter> - <workshop / course> - HarmoniQuA MoST
