6.2.4 Observations Control Panel
Both pilot sites in Galway also aim to improve water network management by
assisting staff in coordinating and making better-informed decisions. An additional
aspect in this context is the ability to communicate messages to specific user-groups
related to their consumption in order to require actions or encourage behavior
change. The observations control panel is an application that gives an overview
of the status of all notifications within a timeframe. It provides an interface for
managing notifications that can originate from any application that uses data from
the dataspace. Based on the activity logging on different notifications, the user can
see how much time it takes from the time of creation of a notification to the time of
action or expiry. The application also allows to filter notifications based on the group
they were targeting, criticality level and the source application. The control panel
allows managers to not only show but generate custom notifications themselves to
facilitate this communication with specific user groups.
6.2.5 Wearable Info-centre
Managers at the Galway pilots are very mobile and they require instant notifications
of important aspects of the water consumption in their building. In this case,
however, users are more technology friendly and expressed their willingness to use
