The Application
Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions
Use Case 3: Selection of Indicators
1. What existing proto-indicators are already captured that relate to the critical issues.
2. Browse knowledge-base of all indicators for indicators that relate to the critical issues.
3. Identify any required new indicators that relate to critical issues and add indicator to knowledge-base.
4. For each critical issue choose indicators from candidates (includes selecting parameters, weighting importance/relevance, targets).
5. Check/test/warn that all domains and all critical issues are covered by at least one indicator .

Goal: an intention that an Agent has. Plan: predefined sequence of actions performed by an
Agent to achieve a goal.
In GORITE: BDI Goal: generates new intentions, triggering others
goals. Sequence Goal: succeed if all its sub-goals succeed. Condition Goal: succeed if any of its sub-goals succeed. Task Goal: equivalent of a plan. Actual sequence of
actions.Representation of a plan in PDT

Water Crisis:Description: Water crisis is a term used to refer to the world’s water resources relative to human demand. The term has been applied to the worldwide water situation by the United Nations and other world organizations. General Issue: Overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution.
Normative Goal: Have enough water for everybody and reduce water pollution.
Critical Issues: Inadequate access to drinking water Inadequate access to water for sanitation Groundwater over-drafting Overuse and pollution of Water:
o Water Overuseo Water Pollutiono Harming biodiversity
Conflict for water
