    New Apache library
   
Plan for V 2.0  
Date: 4/17/13
Features:
    Bug Fixes from 1.4.1
    Performance improvements
    Graphical Model Design (GUI for code generation)
    Advanced Dengue Example
    Stochastic Modeling - need to watch apach.math.commons library  
 
2. New Documentation for 2.0/1.4.1

* New STEM Update Mechanism
* New Doc on Food Distribution View
* Food Distribution view doc
* Need a doc page describing (or linking to descriptions) of different solvers

TO DO (All): Notify Jamie and Judy of any new documentation posted on the wiki

 

3. Solvers: Update

Stefan: Solvers went into code base last week, will be available in new integration build later this week; improve error handling via a window, also improve apache for differential equations, etc. used in STEM

4. STEM Update Site

TO DO (Jamie): Create bug; this is a feature request, not an urgent item 

TO DO (Chris): Will address as feature when he begins using STEM again on a microbiology project (see below)

5. ITEMS FROM PARTICIPANTS
* Chris: New project not yet underway will work on food distribution to animals in Germany

* Kamesh: Has sent archive of scenario to Jamie; will discuss on call tomorrow

Jamie: If values appear close, could use Nelder Mead & time series; could use as starting point for optimizer

(not a predictive model)

TO DO: Kun will send power spectrum to Kamesh

* Werner: Will post link to new book about pandemics spreading from animals to humans throughout history on newsgroup

* Judy: Faulty PDF of malaria modeling article (still unpublished!) on Malaria World website; Stefan is working with Malaria Journal to ensure all equations, graphs appear accurately in final published version in that Journal; Judy will note problem in comment field for article on the Malaria World website
