INTRODUCTION TO THE AirWare REFERENCE MANUAL

AirWare is an interactive information and decision support system for urban air quality assessment and management. It is developed in a series of parallel and synergetic projects, including:

• the EUREKA Projects EU1388 AIDAIR and E! 3266 WEBAIR
• the Telematics Applications Project ECOSIM
• the EESD City-of-Tomorrow project SUTRA
• a number of related research and development projects.

The current AirWare system is implemented as a distributed client-server system that supports web access from any industry standard browser, networked computer or mobile device (SmartPhone, tablet).

• Servers: Linux (Open Source) or Unix platforms
• Clients: any PC or workstation running a standard web browser, mobile devices (SmartPhones, tablet, NetBook) with Internet access and a standard browser.
