Dedicated Modules
For each management issue dedicated models can be developed. Presently systems are
being developed for coastal zone management, estuarine management, river management and land reclamation.
For each of the above applications modules are developed for diagnosis (problem
formulation), rapid assessment and comprehensive analysis of the relevance of the
problems (planning and development phase) and operational management and control (implementation, evaluation and control).
