  1. ARGUS Governance Anco Hundepool

  2. History • μ-ARGUS for microdata protection • τ-ARGUS for tabular data protection • Initiated at Statistics Netherlands • μ-ARGUS 1993 • τ-ARGUS 1998 Argus governance

  3. Funding • Also important  • Lack of resources at StatNeth. Blaise was already very demanding • 1996 first contacts for European funding • First start: SDC-project 1998 • Netherlands, Italy/Spain, UK • First versions of μ-ARGUS and τ-ARGUS Argus governance

  4. CASC-project • Serious step forward • μ-ARGUS and τ-ARGUS mature • contributions by Germany, Spain, UK, Netherlands • Distributed developments lead to practical, not always optimal architecture; but works good • Now standard in Europe Argus governance

  5. Architecture • VB user-interface (Anco; gives me control over the whole project) • C++ DLLs • Separate programs • talk to each other via temp-files • looks like one big system • Good for individual distributed developers Argus governance

  6. Continuation • StatNeth. controls the software • Distributes via CASC-website • No charges (paid by Europe anyhow) • New funding = new progress Argus governance

  7. Risks • software now dependent on one person and one institute • he will have to retire soon • what to do? Argus governance

  8. Future • enlarge the team of developers • more development power, more speed • platform independence • Open Source? Argus governance

  9. Future • Different ways for μ-ARGUS and τ-ARGUS • R + some user interface for μ-ARGUS • Java + C-dlls for τ-ARGUS • free solvers • Governance board!!! Argus governance

  10. Governance board • Who decides on which extensions in new versions? • Can still fund some improvements • Open source ≠ large free team of developers • Role for Eurostat to fund  Argus governance

  11. Summary • Local start • Proven tool • Common acceptance: standard • Funding body • Common development based on open architecture • Weak governance Argus governance
