  1. ARGUS Open Source Peter-Paul de Wolf

  2. Outline • History • Present • Future • Flash back • Future ARGUS Open Source

  3. History ARGUS software μ-ARGUS: protection of microdata τ-ARGUS: protection of tabular data Initiated at Statistics Netherlands 1993 (μ-ARGUS) 1998 (τ-ARGUS) ARGUS Open Source

  4. History 1996 contact about European funding SDC-project (4th framework,1996-1998) • Netherlands, Italy/Spain, UK • First versions of μ-ARGUS and τ-ARGUS ARGUS Open Source

  5. History CASC project (5th framework, 2000-2003) • Serious development • μ-ARGUS and τ-ARGUS mature • Netherlands, Germany, Spain, UK • Distributed development • Not IT-optimal • Practical: it works ARGUS Open Source

  6. History/present Further development • CENEX (2006) • ESSnet (2008-2009) • ESSnet (2011-2012) Now ‘standard’ SDC software in Europe ARGUS Open Source

  7. Present/future Now: • Statistics Netherlands controls software • Coordination developments in hands of single person Future: • ‘Single person’ retires in 2013 • Open Source ARGUS Open Source

  8. Future Goals of ARGUS Open Source: • Maintain look and feel of current version • Multiple platforms (Windows, Unix/Linux) • Larger team of developers • Support not at single institute Risk: • Open Source ≠ Guaranteed future ARGUS Open Source

  9. Future Funded by Eurostat and Stat. Neth. (2013-2014) • Porting ARGUS to Open Source • μ-ARGUS • Java GUI, R-code, C++-code (dynamic link library (.dll), shared object (.so)) • τ-ARGUS • Java GUI, C++-code (.dll, .so, .exe) • Non-commercial / free solvers ARGUS Open Source

  10. Future τ-ARGUS • Maintain current functionality • CSP Open Source in DwB (SCIP/Soplex) • CRP Open Source in separate project • Rebuild modular • CTA, Hypercube “as is” • Rebuild GUI ARGUS Open Source

  11. Future μ-ARGUS • Maintain current functionality • Rebuild GUI • Make possible to ‘add’ R-scripts ARGUS Open Source

  12. Future Sometime in 2014 • Test versions • Testing included in project • Testing available to interested NSIs End of project (2014) • Stable versions • Source available ARGUS Open Source

  13. Future / flash back Current versions of ARGUS will still be available and (moderately) supported during migration to Open Source. ARGUS Open Source

  14. Future Open Source issues • EUPL model • OSS on Joinup (European Commission site) • Governance group • Decides on new developments • Subgroup of this Expert Group • Main developers: e.g. Italy, Germany, Netherlands • Funding future developments ARGUS Open Source
