This page provides a model of our understanding of the essential requirements for the SKOPE system.  The model is based on the approach described in the book Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design (Gause & Weinber,1989) and comprises three types of elements: users, functions, and attributes.


Users

Tinkerer

Researcher with a more focused interest in a specific reconstruction model, and who wishes to adjust parameters and rerun the models. 

Modeler  

Researcher who seeks to build and offer broad access to new or modified models and/or retrodicted environmental data through SKOPE.
