    Air Quality Portals - Designing Citizen-centred Supply Chains for the Dissemination of Air Quality Information
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Peinel, Gertraud; Rose, Thomas; Sedlmayr, Martin
    Environmental information represents an attractive business asset once perceived as levels of comfort improving the daily life of citizens. The need for high-quality information services is further supported by several European directives to inform the citizen about environmental conditions as well as ongoing initiatives concerning access, dissemination and exploitation of public sector information (PSI). Although elementary publishing services are available, e.g. web servers on air quality, the question arises of how to reach and eventually impact the citizen with information on air quality and how to establish sustainable supply chains for environmental content. In this paper, we will present the air quality portals designed and evaluated in project APNEE and APNEE-TU which implement citizen-centred information services by employing a complementary array of technologies in a customised fashion. Operation of these information services requires a specific business partnership to implement a supply chain of trusted content from the source of environmental information, i.e. the environmental management systems, to the citizen, i.e. the customer of high-quality content. This paper reports on the innovative design of the service platform for pro-active content dissemination, as well as stakeholders and business perspectives for a sustainable operation of APNEE/APNEE-TU.

    Citizen-Centred Information Dissemination with Multimodal Information Channels
    (Sustainability in the Information Society, 2001) Johansen, Per Henrik; Karatzas, Kostas; Lindberg, Jon Eric; Peinel, Gertraud; Rose, Thomas
    Citizens call for timely and high-quality environmental information for reasons of comfort and health care. This interest recommends an easy-to-understand and easy-toaccess presentation of such information. Rather than presenting raw data in an extensive fashion, one ought to engineer customisable information services, that can be tailored to individual user groups, be it for reasons of content or be it for reasons of citizen's reachability. InAPNEE, we have been designing information services that draw upon various information channels, i.e. mobile-technologies, interactive portals for the Internet, as well as street panels for municipality usage scenarios. In a nutshell, the APNEEsystem promotes user-friendly information management and dissemination via multiple information channels, and can be applied in multiple information domains or be part of relevant applications or service back bones. Based on such high quality dissemination services, even environmental information will turn into an attractive product once perceived and provided as indicators for emerging interests of citizens towards levels of comfort.

    Dissemination of Air Quality Information: Lessons Learnt in European Field Trials
    (Sh@ring – EnviroInfo 2004, 2004) Peinel, Gertraud; Rose, Thomas
    Prime objective of project APNEE has been a citizen-centred dissemination of air quality information. It was initiated during the hype of novel information services. At that point in time, content was considered as the most promising business opportunity. In addition, emerging EU directives called for novel services to advise the public on health-related instances. In this light, a multi-channel dissemination platform for the distribution of air quality information has been implemented in APNEE. This set of information services towards the citizen has been evaluated in major field trials across Europe in order to identify those services with the best acceptance and impact. Main achievements include a reference architecture for future exploitation and a catalogue of information services accompanied with guidelines for use. This paper will report on the experiences gained over the last four years and present major results in human-centred and process-oriented stance.

    ENV-e-CITY Environmentally Viable Electronic City
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Moussiopoulos, Nicolas; Bøhler, Trond; Fedra, Kurt; Friedrich, Rainer; Karatzas, Kostas; Karppinen, Ari; Kraggerud, Per Haavard; Kukkonen, Jaakko; Larssen, Steinar; de Leeuw, Frank; Lohmeyer, Achim; Peinel, Gertraud; Pulles, Tinus; Reis, Stefan; Rose, Thomas; van der Hout, Dick
    The objective of project ENV-e-CITY is to develop an on-line application for environmental information related services. The e-content domain extends over four application areas: air emission, air quality, topography and meteorology. The application framework to be developed includes metadata structures for all application areas, export and import filters, interfaces and various e-content basic services. The user community of the platform envisaged consists of city authorities, consultants involved in environmental impact assessment studies and citizens desiring valid information on the state of the environment. An electronic market place for the e-content itself and the services is also envisaged.

    Environmental Services and Data Brokerage Portal: ENV-e-CITY in Action
    (The Information Society and Enlargement of the European Union, 2003) Moussiopoulos, Nicolas; Karatzas, Kostas; Endregard, Geir; Fedra, Kurt; Friedrich, Rainer; Johansen, Per Henrik; Kalognomou, Liana; Karppinen, Ari; Kraggerud, Per Haavard; Kukkonen, Jaakko; Larssen, Steinar; de Leeuw, Frank; Lohmeyer, Achim; Naneris, Chris; Nicklass, Daniel; Papaioannou, Giannis; Peinel, Gertraud; Pulles, Tinus; Reis, Stefan; Rose, Thomas; Sedlmayr, Martin; van den Hout, Dick
    ENV-e-CITY is a European Commission supported e-content project that aims to develop an internet-based service for environmental information related applications. The motivation of this project lies in the need of European cities to perform assessments for complying with the EU environmental legislation, as well as the requirement for efficient environmental impact assessments. The e-content domain considered extends over four environmental application areas: air emission, air quality, topography, and meteorology. The application framework includes meta-data structures for these domains, export and import filters, interfaces and typical e-content services. The user community of the platform envisaged consists of city authorities, consultants involved in environmental impact assessment studies as well as citizens desiring valid information on the state of the atmospheric environment. An initial set of electronic information services is currently under development and will be demonstrated on the basis of the various user categories.

    Smart checklists for crises management planning
    (INFORMATIK 2013 – Informatik angepasst an Mensch, Organisation und Umwelt, 2013) Peinel, Gertraud; Rose, Thomas; Wollert, Alexander
    Planning in crises management is essential in order to guide operation staff through noise and chaos and also to counter stress, panic and overburdening of emergency services. This planning results in so called standard operating procedures (SOP), sketched out by legislations and handbooks, and adapted to local directives and conditions. SOPs are learned, trained and also translated to checklists, while hand-outs are placed in emergency vehicles and control centres for permanent availability. But so far, scant IT support is available to support the process of emergency planning. Emergency services have to rely on Office tools for creating and managing these plans, resulting in MS Word documents for a written description and Excel or Word tables for checklists. In this paper we present our concept of smart checklists and its first implementation, which enables emergency service organisations to design and exchange plans in terms of IT-supported checklists. A checklist resembles a lightweight process representation giving users the freedom to sketch their processes while maintaining sufficient formalization.
