Abstract:
Cover image This paper provides an example how researchers that are distant to software engineering and modelling can contribute to the development of a system for indicator implementation and management within a larger context of a complex computerized tool. The system is designed in such a way that it can be customized to various methodologies of indicator calculation (directly from data, linked to model outputs, transformed model outputs) to fit the scientific reality of economic, environmental and social indicators.
