  3. Introduction • Software toapply SDC: • µ-ARGUS (microdata) • τ-ARGUS (tabular data) • Existssince late 1990’s • Statistics Netherlands • SDC project (1996-1998) • CASC project (2000-2003) • CENEX-SDC (2006) • ESSnet SDC (2008-2009) • ESSnetharmonisation (2011-2012)

  4. Introduction Maincontributors: • Statistics Netherlands • Destatis • Istat • ULL (Tenerife) • URV (Tarragona)

  5. Introduction Time flieswhenyou’rehavingfun People get older… Time to Open Up Open Source

  6. The project • Fundedby a specificgrantfromEurostat • Co-fundedbyStatistics Netherlands • Objectives: • Stay as close as possibletocurrentversion • Open Source version of ARGUS • Open source community cancontribute • Platform independent • Open solvers

  7. The project • Open solvers: • Next toexistingXpressand CPLEX • E.g., SCIP with CLP, GLPK, … • Optimization-code not part of this project • Providedbyotherprojects • E.g., • Separate Eurostatfunding

  8. The project Timeline: • Started December 2012 • Ends December 2014 • June 2014 betaversion of τ-ARGUS forgeneraltesting • December 2014 set in Open Source community

  9. Someremarks GUI willbewritten in Java (replacing VB) Calculations are written in C/C++ Gnu compiler (MinGW)

  10. Someremarks For µ-ARGUS: • Java GUI, but “re-using” R-code fromsdcMicroifpossible/applicable For τ -ARGUS: • CSP with Open Solver SCIP/CLP • Rounding: underdiscussionwithEurostat • CTA with Open Solver

  11. Someremarks • Open Source licence EUPL • SCIP needstobe “paid off” • Governancestructuretobedefined • Currentlyunderdevelopment at bitbucket.org • At the end: available via Joinup website of Eurostat
