Task
and Documentation Tracking
On
call: Jamie, Matt, Dave, Traci, Greg, Dan, Mattias, Stefan, Werner
New
to call: Tero Perviaianen, Tom Waraporn
Introductions
Tero
Perviaianen
·
Software
developer in Helsinki, Finland (web, java, back and front end); developed
zombie pandemic model using STEM
Tom
Waraporn
·
Visiting
scientist from Thailand now at Almaden, interested in mapping
Release
1.1.0 planning
·
Need
to resolve legal issues before releasing Mattias’ patch; will pull from
this release and repository; will include in next release after legalities have
been addressed
·
Tero
may check w/ his employer to confirm he can contribute; Jamie will send him
Eclipse public license
·
Project
Metadata has changed; no items for IP review
Automated
Experiment example
·
Examples
available for download, also video
·
Release
will include Automated Experiments feature
·
Tutorial
now on wiki
Server-side
development
·
Discussion
ongoing between Matt and Tero
·
Matt:
Have prototype, real time view, direct to simulation services; want to take
forward; two areas under review
·
Distributed
services (how to move data between multiple machines). Tero: has looked at
using CDO. Dan: has used CDO, would be slower but is answer for scalability,
reconfigures EMF, regenerates code, all reflective; more than one machine can
access. Jamie: whole thing needs to synchronize at every time step
·
Revision
management (ability to step back in time). Dan: CDO supports full audit
·
Matt:
1st version on server side would be a subset, most functional
version connected to the application; can now run Auto Experiment on parallel
machines; run isn’t done in the application, i.e., it’s headless;
have not created scenario editor for web-based service
·
Can
now create scenarios and upload automatically; challenge w/ editors is where to
start? Work to create editors in webview is substantial
·
?Create
on client and run on headless workspace
·
Jamie:
Ultimate is server-side editor, one possibility is RAP editor
Items
from participants
·
Werner:
Has multiple people interested in helping w/ script for Portuguese video, will
send their email addresses to Jamie; also, will contact Jamie to arrange visit
to Almaden on September 23 or 24, perhaps w/ Fabiana; will present, will
download zombie model, other STEM scenarios now on web
·
Per
Jamie, Arik working on mosquito model, has calls scheduled next week with his
professor, Jamie, Israeli colleagues to discuss
·
Tero:
Where to post questions? Answer on Newsgroup or, if specifically for
developers, on stem-dev
·
Judy:
Worked w/ Stefan on tutorial; received notice that Sondra Renly’s paper
approved by authors in Mexico (affinity domains, H1N1)
·
Greg:
Demo running US graph at level 2 seems slow using either integration or finite difference;
how can they create graph for only part of US (DE, PA, NJ)
·
Stefan:
Worked w/ team in India to edit out part using coverage attributes, will help
Greg’s team to do same; Greg will email Stefan; a tested method
·
Dan:
Can also use editor to drag/drop in desired states, can create hierarchy of
models, look in the graph stuff, may not be assembled; Jamie will check out,
would be great if it works
·
Traci:
Will check to see if Lockheed Martin got agreement back from IBM, let Jamie
know
·
Mattias:
Using plug in w/ EuroGeographics data internally; contacted EuroGeographics to
see if can use a subset of their data for level 2 for Europe; maps for Europe
are not good, wants this group (or any other) that can contribute to STEM to
create simple polygons; Mattias can use only internally w/o legal agreement
·
Stefan:
Look at the Automated Experiment material new on wiki; not as detailed as
we’d like, but comments welcome
