Ebert, Achim, Deller, Matthias, Thelen, Sebastian and Scheler, Inga (2011): iGreen: non-formal modelling in practice. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 283-284.

“Motivation -- In the following we describe the development of new visualization and interaction metaphors in the context of iGreen. iGreen is a project dealing with knowledge management in the agricultural industry. We give two example scenarios in which formal modelling cannot be applied easily. Research approach -- The number of actors participating in iGreen is high and encompasses different levels of background knowledge, project expectations, and technical affinities. Over the course of time objective targets gradually changed due to an increased understanding of processes within the project and new unforeseen technical opportunities that turned up in the area of mobile computing. The methods developed had to be accessible for a wide variety of potential users and offer opportunities for interactive data exploration on various hardware platforms. Findings/Design -- The project dynamic made conventional software development strategies hard to apply. The demand for more flexible methods to design visualization techniques and interaction metaphors portable and scalable to different sized hardware platforms increased during the project. Research limitations/Implications -- The target group of users for techniques developed in iGreen is highly related to practice. In order to overcome adaption resistances and replace traditional, mostly manual, workflows, the methods had to be highly intuitive, reliable, and offer steep learning curves. Take away message -- Two application areas in the field of agricultural industry are discussed for which visualization and interaction techniques have been developed. Both examples represent different ends of a wide spectrum of potential target platforms that had to be served.”
