| [stem-dev] Agenda for the STEM Call on May 11 |
The May STEM Community Call will be this Thursday, May 11th, at 9 am Pacific Time. As always, we invite all those using or exploring the use of STEM in their research efforts to join us and to pose any issues and questions they may have about this open source software platform. If you would like to join in the call, please contact me, judyvdouglas@xxxxxxxxxxx for call in instructions via a toll-free line. The agenda appears below. Agenda for the STEM Community Call on May 11, 2017 1. STEM 3.0.0 Milestone 5: Release to follow solution of problem with launcher on Mac Awaiting resources (summer intern? post doc?) to make build compatible with Eclipse; workaround is currently available on the wiki at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1084123/1753241/#msg_1753241 2. Queries raised on stem-dev Digest, Vol 97, Issues 1-4 Taras: Differences between the stochastic solver in STEM and the stochastic Gillespie algorithm to solve ODEs [?] Emily: Setting the seed on the stochastic solver; using the nonlinearity coefficient [Resolved] 3. Model Development Emily: Problems with predicates noted on stem-dev 4/19; any resolution? Taras: Issues discussed during April call and subsequently regarding model development w/ birth & death rates; posted bugs as in item 4 below; any workarounds available? 4. Bugs/Feature Requests 513636: Create option to log internal parameters over time (Taras) 515654: Calculating disease model with model generator; problem with multiple aging populations (Taras) 515648: Mixing edges when migrating to another polygon (Stefan/Taras) 5.
