Code freeze 6/13
Milestone 3: Items on track
Bug Fixes
New Stochastic model solver
Visual Editor initial checkin
New Measles model (iffy)
On Track: UI, model development workflow, builder tools, xtext, all in STEM
Add model generator Feature to STEM-core (with required plugins)
Customize Project Explorer (show/hide generated Java code)
Hot injection of generated plugins
Future V 2.0 Release Features to include:
Xtext model generator feature
Graphical Model Design (GUI for code generation, Visual Editor )
Bug Fixes from 1.4.1
Performance improvements
Advanced Dengue Example
**Stochastic Modeling - New Solver doc. After Eclipse’s release we need to contact Eclipse legal re Apache
2. New Documentation for 2.0
==== Pubs updated on wiki
==== Updated Upcoming (and recent) talks on main website
==== Use of model generator inside of stem (vs in the dev environment)
==== Added new document Stefan’s new periodic control graph generator
==== documentation for MMR model
==== Shape file graph generator done w/ new screenshot
==== Visual Editor
TO DO (ALL): Please Post recent/upcoming talks, publications, any items of interest to community on wiki or send to Judy to post
...we should write a paper on the Compartment Transition Definition Language
3. Jamie: Directionally biased mixing model (with periodicity in time) - design discussion
For migratory birds, eg, can include seasonal flight changes (N in summer, S in winter); involves edges, pop model
Probably will be ready for next milestone
4. Item from Werner: Sick weather (similar to earlier Google effort)
http://nibletz.com/2012/11/20/baltimore-startup-sickweather-is-crowdsourcing-a-sickness-forecast-interview/
Not sure as to intended purpose, but possibility of data feed of interest
Werner will reach out, check on data feed, will report back
5. Bug(s) of the week
409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders
Alex’s bug; Jamie, Almaden team will check out
409540 Proposal: Make solvers "first class" objects. Proposal passes; Matt suggests not changing basic operations
TO DO: Jamie & team will try, no commit, see what it breaks
TO DO: Revisit on next week’s call
Documentation Issue: Inconsistent use of Greek letters, eg gui vs. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Compartment_Models
TO DO: Kezban will look into, post on stem-dev
TO DO: Review, vote next week
400920 Update: Doc (updated screenshot) for Shape file graph generator is in place
Chris implemented new feature to get area from SHP file import
New [Bug 408797] from Alex. (Refactoring broken?)
Renaming Projects AND Copying between projects
Still pending
FEATURE Request: Fix aggregate time series view
Jamie still working on this
6. Items from Participants
Alex: Need author info from co-authors by end of this week
Werner: Can put metatags to STEM videos now on YouTube on the Eclipse Channel; Werner will find contact, send to Jamie
