Manual of spIds, a software package for parameter identification in dynamic systems

This report contains the manual of spIds, version 1.0, a software package for parameter identification in dynamic systems. SpIdslabel{ab:spIds is an acronym of underline{simulation and underline{parameter underline{identification in underline{dynamic underline {systems. It can be applied on wide variety of dynamic systems which can be described by a set of ordinary differential equations or differential algebraic equations. The manual describes briefly the general principles of the underlying mathematics and the structure of the software package. The preparations for the input are described in detail. The documentation of the Graphical User Interface is also quite explicit.
