STEM Community Call August 15, 2013

On Call: Jamie, Stefan, Kun, Werner, Judy

 

1.1 V 2.0 Milestone 4 release 7/30 UP
Includes bug fixes and enhancements to model generation core
         
1.2 V 2.0 Milestone 5
Planned for 9/10

To include bug fixes and test of draggable solvers

Good with documentation except for items noted under item 3
                                 
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 documentation
       Draggable solver objects  
       **TO DO after Eclipse’s release: Contact Eclipse legal re Apache
   
2. New Documentation for 2.0

DONE
       ==== 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, new screenshop on wiki
       ==== Visual Editor 
       ==== Stochastic solver

       ==== Links to Multipopulation Models on wiki (Epidemiological, Disease, Advanced)  

STILL TO DO

       ====                New page on mathematic for Disease Models – Stefan

       ==== Updated figure in measles model; links to model as example for Multipopulation Model, Disease Models    

OPTIONAL TO DO

       ==== Food-borne disease model (campylobacter in poultry) [also related paper] - Kun        

3. New Demos – Wish List for V 2.0

#1 Demo project model generator – NOW UP ON YOU TUBE

#2 MMR

#3 Dengue Fever

#4 Polio

Stefan: What demos are missing?

TO DO: Jamie to contact Eclipse webmaster re Eclipse You Tube link; Jamie to write section with link to demo now on You Tube

 

4. Bugs of the week
400930 Deleting a graph makes models/scenario useless

TO DO: Discuss when Alex returns, Alex to confirm if he has checked "updated references"
409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders – pending Matt (?)  
409540 Proposal: Make solvers "first class" objects – Stefan: IN PROGRESS
368889 For M5: Enable stochastic simulations. Check for older disease models – mostly done except for the following:  

TO DO: Check for (1) Polio and (2) Dengue – Kun and Jamie
                TO DO: Add new "stochastic integration test" – Stefan

5. EclipseCon Abstract submitted
6. ICSE Paper in progress
7. Items from Participants

Werner: Chair of Eclipse Science IWG has announced poster session @ EclipseCon Europe; will send info to Jamie

TO DO: Send Werner digital files on Dengue to print as posters – Stefan

Werner: Will be in California September 18-21; will confirm w/ Jamie
