JIP CoDeS 2.0 is subdivided into different sets of sprint sessions. All these sets of sprint sessions are followed by a demo of the developed product to the advisory board (AB) for feedback and steering in priorities for subsequent developments.

Results

Products

Compared to CoDeS 1.0, the CoDeS tools framework is extended with the following tools and functionality (see Figure 2, objective 1):

...

This has resulted in the following setup of available 'Generic data tabs' and 'CoDeS tools' (icons link to the online CoDeS User Manual):

Generic data tabs

CoDeS tools

Considerable effort has been put in making the upgraded framework more robust (by including a shared data model and unit tests) and improving the look & feel of the framework in terms of uniformity and accessibility for non-trained users. This has increased the use of the developed tools within the partners' organizations considerably compared to the products from the JIP CoDeS Pilot and JIP CoDeS 1.0. Moreover, the CoDeS community has become more mature in the sense that also internal and external contributions to the tools have been made outside the JIP project itself (objective 2 and 3). In order to demonstrate the use of the framework to a wider audience a showcase has been developed for the Scheveningen case. This indicative case study, illustrating the use of the tools in a real-life project, has been compiled in a conference paper which was presented at the PIANC Copdec 2016 conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The conference paper can be downloaded here. Furthermore, the CoDeS tools will be were presented for an international audience at the International Conference on Coastal Engineering '18 (ICCE '18), the slides can be found here (objective 4).

How do I get access to the product?

The development of embargo on CoDeS 2.0 is still in progress, (intermediate) versions of CoDeS are available to JIP CoDeS partners. The embargo for the general public will be lifted one year after completion of the JIP CoDeS 2.0 projectwas lifted in January 2020.

In order to install CoDeS 2.0, you need to acquire two components:

1. The CoDeS 2.0 Python code
2. A specific CoDeS 2.0 version of the Delta Shell interface

The python code for CoDeS 2.0 can be freely downloaded form the OpenEarth repository, for which a free account can be created here.

The specific CoDeS 2.0 version of Delta Shell can be freely applied for here.

To properly link the tools with the Delta Shell GUI, a step-by-step read-me document is available.

Process

Working together in sprints using a SCRUM alike methodology was found to provide a very productive, constructive and pleasant working experience during both the CoDeS pilot and CoDeS 1.0 projects. Furthermore, the threshold for new developers to start-up and join the team is found to be fairly low (~couple of days). In order to streamline CoDeS software development in a professional manner, the software development tool JIRA was introduced since CoDeS 1.0 in order to manage and structure the development process. The online technical documentation, setup as part of CoDeS 2.0, can be found here.

...

All partners are enthusiastic about the progress being made and product being delivered and wish to continue the cooperation. Therefore, explorations towards CoDeS 3.0 are being setup, in which explorations to additional partners are being executed as well. The exact scope of this project is still under discussion, but it will most likely include more connections to global databases (e.g. for waves, bathymetries and shorelines), improved data management and broadened scope, e.g. in the field of offshore engineering. Parties that are interested to use the tools or participate in future cooperation and development can contact contact Mr.   Wiebe de Boer or Mr. Freek Scheel.
