    Further Developments - Software Tool Providing Tailored Sustainability Reports
    (Informatics for Environmental Protection - Networking Environmental Information, 2005) Isenmann, R.; Brosowski, J.; Schappert, M.; Gomez, J. M.
    In this paper, we describe latest developments of a software tool for sustainability online reporting. This tool is implemented as a sophisticated web application in a prototype. It provides tailored sustainability reports on the fly “at one’s fingertip” and has its basis on the concept of single source cross media publishing. The whole software development is a joint project carried out by the Department of Business Information Systems and Operations Research (BiOR) at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, and the Institute for Technical and Business Information Systems at the Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Germany. Compared to the early prototype presented at the 18th EnviroInfo Conference in Geneva 2004, the current web application has been elaborated and refined along three dimensions: (i) A set of different XSL style sheets has been developed, and based on the experience made, a generic methodology for developing XSL style sheets is proposed. (ii) A software tool has been developed which supports the underlying reporting processes, e.g. update of existing report parts, text editing, graphical layout for different media, web design, formatting, database management, retrieval, cross media publication and dissemination through different channels. (iii) A recommender engine has been developed to move away from an adapted reporting system providing different but static views on reports based on stereotypes towards an adaptable reporting system providing individualised and even personalised reports enabling more features of interactivity and fulfilling users’ needs and preferences in an automated manner based on dynamic user modeling. Approaching an adaptable or even adaptive reporting system is regarded as the most sophisticated approach in terms of system adaptation.
