The accuracy of the Tiger files is the least of the factors that affect the results of the simulation. When someone creates a model they make many assumptions about the parameters that affect disease propagation. In fact, the Tiger files are probably the most accurate part of the simulation.
The system is designed from scratch to be extensible. Modelling crop disease should be a "straightforward" application. The hardest part right now would be getting the GIS data into a form the system recognizes. Something we're working on.
Oops. This was the first release and we didn't have quick access to a MAC....and...well...we forgot. Ok, I forgot. Sorry. Next release. Basically, the system needs to find its "home" directory as the value of "user.dir"
The system supports arbitrary geographic areas, the current release includes models for the lower USA and Thailand. Check out the configuration files, there's one for Thailand.
