Software
Get an overview of the CPS software on the Documentation page.
Stay in touch with Emxsys announcements and CPS developments via the News page.
Check out the Wiki for more information about the software development.
The CPS software uses open-source libraries and code from NetBeans, NASA's WorldWind SDK, the VisAD Visualization library, and the Weka Machine Learning library.
Software Projects
The Campbell Prediction System (CPS) application is free open-source software developed by Bruce Schubert with input from Doug Campbell. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.
The latest release is version 1.0 beta. Version 1.0 is designed to be used as learning and education tool for students of fire behavior.
Downloads
The CPS software can be downloaded from two locations: either SourceForge.net or Kenai.com. SourceForge is used to distribute production releases, whereas Kenai includes early releases.
Why both SourceForge.net and Kenai.com? Two reasons:
- There is a certain "joy of redundancy" in knowing that you can download the software if one site or the other is unavailable.
- "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" -- SourceForge.net hosts this website; Kenai.com hosts the software development, wiki, discussion forums and mailing lists.
PS: Kenai.com is advertising free.
CPS software can be downloaded from SourceForge:
