1. V 2.0 Milestone 3 is now available
V 2.0 Milestone 4 on 7/30 – on target, no new code from Chris
Milestone 4:
Bug Fixes and enhancements to model generation core
V 2.0 Release Features 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
Directionally biased mixing model
**Stochastic Modeling - New Solver doc (Stefan)
Jamie - Have heard from Eclipse legal re Apache – We are @ top of stack; Matt will track
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) - done
==== Added new document Stefan’s new periodic control graph generator - done
==== Documentation for MMR model - done
==== Shape file graph generator - done
==== Visual Editor - done and growing
==== Stochastic solver - done
Judy: Iterative reviews; changes to TOC on wiki looks good
4. Changes at Eclipse. Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and Hosting at any social coding site
Should know more shortly, but per Jamie, good idea to sign; Stefan will send out link
5. Bug(s) of the week

409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders - Matt
409540 Proposal Make solvers "first class" objects?
Jamie: Problem @ loadtime when run first time – add property
Stefan to come up w/ suggestion; Matt to come up w/ code - when double click on scenario, ask user if want to migrate?
368889 Enable stochastic simulations. Check for older disease models; stochastic simulations handled differently
Stefan: Will be completed by V 2.0; TO DO then – close bug
Feature Request - Jamie: Fixed aggregate time series view but threw an exception last night; Chris TO DO test
6. Matt status on abstract to Eclipse Con Stuttgart – waiting from clearance from legal, will email then
7. ICSE paper plan
Jamie: International Conference of Software Engineers (ICSE) in 2014; plan to do paper on model generation framework; would like to collaborate w/ BfR on this; will follow up as TO DO
8. Items from Participants
Werner: May be opportunities for STEM in Australia; Matt – IBM collaborating w/ University of Melbourne
