Executive Summary

Analysis
The analysis of Good Practice is based on the contribution of sixteen projects, conveyed according to a standard format. This form contained an abstract explaining the project, its objectives and implementation. It covered the domain and target user category, details of the site, technical parameters, functional requirements, duration of the project and the cost. It also provided the results achieved and the obstacles encountered. An assessment of the transferability (in full or in part) of the system to other locations and the lessons learned are set out, with critical factors of success and recommendations for others intending to use the systems. Table 1 summarises the main characteristics of the projects analysed in this Good Practice report.
