[stem-dev] Notes from today's STEM call

STEM Community Call February 2, 2012

On call: Jamie, Stefan, Chris, Matt, Kun, Werner, Judy

 

1a. 1.3.0 RELEASE PLANNING

Stefan reported that Eclipse approved Release 1.3.0 yesterday

RC4 now up and available for testing; Judy will note on newsgroup

Target date for 1.3 is 2/7/2012; will allow coordination w/ Jamie’s blog post
1b. 1.3.1 PLAN

Plan is up; is tentative and open for improvements

>Make any comments/suggestions on STEM-DEV

>TO DO: Committers revise as needed, make sure revisions on STEM plan page are reflected on the wiki

2. NEW DOC FOR 1.3
>Documentation for Food Example (done) thanks to Chris

>Demo has been downloaded; not going to do other one
>Documentation on improved graph editor (done)      
3. NEW ITEM: CREATE A STEM VIDEO FOR WIKIPEDIA?

Discussion of suggestion from Matthias to give STEM greater visibility

>Jamie suggested looking at Wikipedia entry on chicken pox, find something in article, e.g., on 10-21 days incubation, add language on latent period, link to mention of latent period on STEM

>Chris will confirm approach w/ Matthias (not on this week’s call), prepare, Jamie will excerpt video and post; can then look at where else to do same

4. MODELING OF FOOD MEDIATED DISEASES

Per last week’s discussion, “Food transformation” is now renamed “Population Transformation”; some plugins need renaming 
5. SHAPE FILE IMPORT/IPZILLA

No major updates
6. OPEN BUGS
Multipopulation DM GUi (Chris' bug): Chris has resolved; years were different, so he reset
runparameters.txt for multipopulation dm: Need a population model to run a model

>Will (1) put in a warning, (2) make a rescaler a default w/ a combobox w/ options to rescale by parameter or by date
>TO DO: Add comments to bug; send to stem.dev

Change to UI (STEM-Library idea)

7. ITEMS FROM PARTICIPANTS

Chris renamed initializers “Standard Disease Initializer” and “External Data Source Initializer” from log files so old names don’t work; will update so scenarios on the website work

>To maintain backward compatibility, Chris will update, test, and commit to branch 2/2/12

>Matt will perform necessary processes; Chris will update scenarios to be ready w/ release on 2/7/12; will commit to trunk

Chris has had some integration tests fail (gets different numbers), will send to Almaden team if he can reproduce

Stefan: Using Chris’ work from the summer, have successfully run dengue fever “lite” w/o STEM

>Right click compile a potential feature for 1.3.1? Consider internally; would make STEM run faster

>Matt: UI is what limits performance; getting rid of UI would be major

Stefan had found something missing in calculator infector; Chris will replace initializers by infectors to solve problem

Werner will connect Matthias w/ some Germany contacts he has made
