Latest revision as of 12:47, 16 April 2024


On this page you will find out about:

  • What research & development work is (going to be) planned for the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform on the longer term.
  • What specific software releases are (going to be) planned for the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform over the next years.
Note that both our R&D and version release plannings are subject to continuous refinements and alterations!

Longer-term R&D planning

On the long term (until at least 2026), we are working on at least the following features (in completely random order!):

  • Sustainable commercial fishing policy options and resulting simulation
  • Sustainable sand extraction policy options and resulting simulation
  • Eastern Mediterranean Sea edition, Western Baltic Sea edition, and any other sea basin editions for which we can find partners
  • Introduction of a customisable dashboard system
  • Improving how GIS data can be retrieved and used in an edition
  • Regular audiovisual restyling (but no more than once per year)
  • Continuous improvements on the user experience and interface design for user friendliness and engagement.
  • Continuous upgrades of the entire technology stack when necessary (e.g. end-of-life, no more support) or opportune (e.g. increasing performance or unlocking new potential)

Version release planning

2025

  • Likely 4.1.x releases focused on bug fixes and interface or feature polishing.
  • Likely 4.2.x, potentially focused mostly on sand extraction policy options and simulation.

2026
