As a starting point, it is useful to consider the overall calibration
philosophy used in AIPS++. The calibration system has been designed
to meet several important goals: i) support for synthesis and
single-dish radio-telescopes in a generic formalism which minimizes
instrument-specific differences; ii) modeling of all relevant physical
effects which may corrupt the observed data, in both the uv- and
image-plane, such as propagation or instrumental response factors, in
a unified framework; and iii) support for arbitrary parametrization of
the individual calibration effects.
