The KCMD Demographic Tools Platform

cover
(user manual)
In this technical manual, we describe the architecture and use of the first prototype of the KCMD Demographic Tools Platform (KCMD-DTP), an online dashboard that will permit users to run demographic microsimulation in a user-friendly environment. The KCMD-DTP combine the power of two well-known microsimulation software, i.e., Modgen and OpenM++, with the practicality and versatility of the Shiny dashboards and R environment. The KCMD-Demographic Tools Platform, conceived and implemented both as an online platform but also as an R package that can be used in different Operating Systems, should represent a valid tool for different types of users, be they policymakers, policy-officers or consultants working in the policy sector, demographers (e.g., Modgen or OpenM++ experienced users) or simply researcher and students who might do not have specific knowledge of programming but who are interested in carrying out demographic microsimulations by using open-source resources packaged and supplied in a user-friendly environment.
