Abstract

Within the EURANOS project, 17 different demonstrations were conducted. The objective ofthese demonstrations was to apply a certain product in the operational environment of anemergency centre and to check its performance either in particular exercises or in theirdaily use. As a result of a demonstration feedback to the development team was provided,highlighting requirements for the further development of the product – if necessary. Asecond key pillar in the project was the intensive involvement of the RODOS Users Group(RUG) in the research activities. In particular all work packages related to the furtherimprovement of the RODOS system have been observed by the RUG. In some of the workpackages, the RUG was involved from the beginning and participated even in the designdocuments for the software development. Both mechanisms, the demonstrations and userinvolvement, guaranteed that the end user’s perspective was considered throughout allphases of the EURANOS project.
