<H3>Working as a distributed team</H3> | |
| |
<P>Technically, a <A HREF=http://subversion.tigris.org/>SVN</A>-Server hosted by <A HREF="http://www.ilr1.uni-bonn.de/agpo/agpo_e.htm">ILR</A> allows the team members to work | |
| |
efficiently in a distributed network. The GAMS code of CAPRI, the JAVA code of its <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:gui:gui">Graphical User Interface</A>, but also the data base and statistical raw data are under version control. That allows | |
| |
controling changes to the different components, and an incremental improvement of the system. It also ensures that code changes of network members are not lost, and that | |
| |
local installations are synchronised with the core version. The team communicates mostly via the <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:capri_talks">CAPRI mailing list</A>. | |
| |
<A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:ts">Training sessions</A> allow newcomers to join the network, and existing member to update their knowledge | |
| |
about the system.</P> | |
| |
| |
| |
<H3>Open source, learning and maintenance cost</H3> | |
| |
<P>CAPRI is handled as open source. However, it is well known that license costs are often only a small part of the total costs of ownership of a software package. | |
| |
Due to its richness in detail, the code base of CAPRI is rather large, and it requires a serious effort to learn using the system. | |
| |
The <a href="../docs/capri_documentation.pdf">documentation</A>, <A HREF="../docs/Gui2010.pdf">the user hand-book for the GUI</A>, the web-page and | |
| |
different types of <A HREF=/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:capri_pub>publications</A>, <A HREF=/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:ts>training sessions</A>, <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:trainingPPTs">slide collections</A> and technical tools support the learning process. | |
| |
Nevertheless, the market entrance costs are considerable, | |
| |
and newcomers may require a few months before they are familiar enough with the system to generate and analyze results on their own.</P> | |
| |
| |
| |
<P>Part of higher learning costs compared e.g. to a farm type model or a stand-alone Multi-Commodity Model are also due to combination of the | |
| |
<A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:supply">supply</A> and <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:market">market</A> modules with their own methodologies as well as the high resolution space, products/activities and policy instruments. | |
| |
Compared to CGE, the simultaneous accounting in physical as well as monetary units and bio-physical relations/indicators add complexity. But it is the richness in detail | |
| |
and the unique combination of a spatial global market model with regional/farm type programming models for Europe which explain the comparative advantage of CAPRI.</P> | |
| |
| |
| |
<P>It is in part a deliberate decision to refrain from a "push the button" approach to model usage which may trigger naive applications and signal simplicity where | |
| |
it does not exist. The learning time is usually well invested for the newcomer and the CAPRI network: it ensures a minimum commitment of newcomers and a certain quality of the results, | |
| |
as content and concept of components and their linkages must be understood before any serious application. And it also helps to keep the network at a manageable size.</P> | |
