dc.description.abstract | The framework of a particular unit or a
system is the structure on which it is built or
founded. There appears a conflict in the
understanding of frameworks by water resource
decision-making professionals and software
development professionals. This contradiction
affects the quality of the software systems
developed for water resource management
decision-making. Hence, the objective of the
present work is to classify the available
understanding of frameworks to contribute to a
clear understanding to achieve better and
sustainable framework classification to water
resource management software system. The
present work carried out a systematic review and
conceptualised the principle of the framework
through an evaluation of interdependencies
between presently available understandings. The
reviewed environmental modelling frameworks
revealed the availability of four different
categories such as, Software language foundation,
Software on platforms, Techno-business
platforms, and Building blocks frameworks. This
classification allows the environmental system
modellers to understand which framework they
will develop and decide in which depth they need
to explore technology and business domains. | en_US |
