<br />00l1~G <br /> <br />24 Month Study Project Documentation <br /> <br />David M. Theobald <br />University of Colorado, CADSWES <br />and <br />Terrance J. Fulp <br />US Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region <br /> <br />Management Summary <br /> <br />The 24 Month Study Interface (24MSI) is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the 24 <br />Month Study Model (24MSM). The 24MSI fundamentally supports "what if?.." scenario <br />generation and analysis by allowing the user to: <br /> <br />. display graphically the input and output data, <br /> <br />. edit (either graphically or texturally) the input paranleters, <br /> <br />. run the 24MSM, and <br /> <br />. examine the changes and impacts that the recent editing of the input data had on the <br />output data. <br /> <br />All of this can be accomplished from the same screen. <br /> <br />The 24MSI was developed at the University of Colorado's Center for Advanced Decision <br />Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) through a cooperative agree- <br />ment with the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Colorado Region. The project was driven <br />by the basic premise that the GUI should enhance the use of the existing model while <br />maintaining the integrity of that model. Both University and Reclamation personnel were <br />involved in the initial conception of the project, as well as throughout the design, imple- <br />mentation, debugging, and final delivery of the software. This cooperation was crucial to <br />the success of the project. Some 14 person-months of time was spent by CADSWES <br />personnel on the project. It was estimated that 5 person-months were spent by Reclama- <br />tion personneL <br /> <br />The 24MSI runs on a SUN MicroSystems workstation using the UNIX operating system.. <br />It is written in Fortran and uses a graphics library developed by CADWES, implemented <br /> <br />61&/91 <br />
