Abstract
The Occam server can be found at: http://dmit.sysc.pdx.edu/. Occam runs on a PSU server. The user uploads a data file to this server, provides input information on a web input page, and then initiates Occam action. When the computation is complete, Occam either returns HTML output directly to the user or a .csv output file that can be read by a spreadsheet program such as Excel. If the computation is not likely to finish rapidly, the user can provide an email address and Occam will email the output (in .csv form) to the user when it is done.
Occam has become an open-source project. The code can be found on GitHub, along with a guide for installation: https://github.com/occam-ra/occam. Since Occam is still in the process of transitioning to the open-source world, installation may not be as smooth as one would like. If you have any issues with the software or would like to contribute to the project, please contact us through the GitHub site.

Description
Short title: OCCAM User's Manual
OCCAM stands for Organizational Complexity Computation and Modeling.
Past Programmers: Heather Alexander, Joe Fusion, Kenneth Willett1 1 Ken Willett totally rewrote earlier versions of Occam. His version was originally called “Occam3” to distinguish it from these earlier Occam incarnations; the “3” has finally been dropped in this manual.
