Notes from the STEM Community Call on April 13, 2017
On the call: Stefan, Taras, Nereyda, Judy
Next call: Thursday, May 11, 2017
1. STEM 3.0.0 Milestone 5: Release to follow solution of problem with launcher on Mac
*Need to make build compatible with Eclipse
*Awaiting resources (summer intern? post doc?)
*Until then, use the workaround available on the wiki https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1084123/1753241/#msg_1753241
2. Updates
*Re Pajek graphs: Wiki includes advice to use Libra office (thanks Taras); status of emails forwarded by Emily pending
*Re authors lost when wiki on model generator and _expression_ language hacked: Stefan emailed Eclipse for original authors, has yet to receive response
*Re STEM training at BfR: When time allows Taras will put on BfR project website, put link on STEM wiki up top under Tutorials [TO DO]
3. Model development w/ birth & death rates (Taras)
*Time stamp log starts at 0.5 not, 0: Not a barrier to work; Taras has created a workaround using new compartments T (value is minus) and T1; logs those values, not other compartments, e.g., Susceptible, etc.
*Simulating migration of subgroups (user-defined parameter): In aging population model, some difficulty when using decorator. Stefan: If property view won’t allow editing, open XML file directly for override; if this fails, Taras to open a bug [TO DO]
*Calculating disease model with model generator: Trouble with multiple aging populations. Stefan: STEM lacks a multi-model; Taras to open a feature request [TO DO]
*Mixing edges: Problem in migrating to another polygram; difference between built in disease model and Taras’; discussed w/ Stefan & Jamie via email. Taras: Works when using generator, then wizard; then border edges; then have to add something into code. Stefan: Code in two places; probably an easy fix; Taras to open a bug [TO DO]
4. Bugs and feature requests
*See items marked TO DO in item 3
5. Items from Participants
*Nereyda: Defending dissertation this month; in May will clean up and share STEM screenshots she created in doing her work [TO DO]
*Taras: Will ask Christian for help in setting up aging population to work w/ model generator [See item 3 above]
