Presentation Transcript

  1. RobOff software and GUI • GUI basics • Flow of use • Optimization • Summary of inputs and outputs • Exercises

  2. Teaching material • Software as installer executable or zip package

  3. RobOff GUI Tabs for different entities Setup Results Opt. Log

  4. Sections of the GUI • Setup: load / edit / save RobOff setups • Environments, features, actions, responses and all other parameters • Results: calculate / save / visualize • Summary and plots for different dimensions: features, environments, actions, etc. • Optimization: calculate / load / save optimal allocations • Several examples included with the software: just load, edit and run

  5. Input: two alternatives Plain text files GUI tabs

  6. Run: two alternatives Command line (automated/scripting) GUI (results + opt)

  7. Analyze results: two alternatives Output (plain) text files GUI (results + opt)

  8. Flow of use Setup section Results + opt. sections

  9. Optimization • Maximize efficiency (return on investment) • Budget (B) • Budget resolution • Actions: • Costs (constant, function of area, time-dependent) • Area availability • How do you allocate B among actions? • Efficiency measure: one of the variants of sustainability / conservation value • Robustnessrequirement: robust / opportunity

  10. Optimization methods

  11. Levels or groups of actions • Mandatory • set a priori in the “allocations” tab • always enforced (even when optimizing) • Preset • convenient to define different allocation scenarios • Optimized • solution(s) found by RobOff, different criteria: • strong/weak across environments or features • robust / nominal / opportunity • Save/load from the “optimization” section

  12. Summary of input files

  13. Summary of output files Text files GUI

  14. Exercise and Q & A • Load one of the example setups and familiarize yourself with the tabs of the Setup and Results sections • If you were starting a setup from scratch, what would you define first? • Ways to obtain or derive responses? • How to select the type/shape of the benefit functions? • What about the y-axis of the responses (occurrence levels) and the x-axis of the benefit functions? Do they need to match? • Environments have these two parameters: weight and condition. Aren’t they redundant? • How do you change the spatial scope of analysis (assuming same features, actions and responses).
