A Report on the Studies of Possible Software Options for the Growth and Yield Modelling (GYM) Framework
P.D. Phillips · 1997
The project proposal specifically mentions two existing software items (SYMFOR and Hybrid), however there are many other packages designed for similar purposes which should be considered for use (see section 17 (van Gardingen et al., 1997)). Those considered at any level are listed in section 3. The majority of this report is given to the discussion and evaluation of the specific use of items of software within this project. Many of the packages were not written with this particular mode of use in mind, and, whilst being worthy tools in their own right, may not be the most suitable solution in this instance. The evaluations were made with specific reference to the requirements of the project as listed in section 2.
