| [stem-dev] Notes from the STEM Community Call on February 8, 2018 |
Notes from the STEM Call on February 8, 2018 Present on the call: Jamie, Stefan, Anna, Ahmad, Taras, Emily, Judy Next Call: Thursday, March 8 Congratulations to Ahmad Swaid on his election as an Eclipse Committer! *Jamie: Election confirmed; Ahmad: Paperwork submitted 1. Upcoming STEM Release identified earlier as Version 3.0.0 Milestone 5 will move to Eclipse 4.0 and thus be identified as version STEM Version 4.0 *For current workaround to problem with launcher on Mac go to https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1084123/1753241/#msg_1753241 2. Project Updates Emily: Finishing course on Java programming using Eclipse IDE this week *Problem experiments with a different seed (on Windows). Jamie: Problem may be with slash (backward and forward) and string variable; may need to use path.separator to resolve and break up string. Emily: Will work with her instructor for the Java class tomorrow on this *Java LoopReplace.jar. Jamie: Not likely this is the problem; can print out and check *Different folders in output (recorded simulations folder) when running headless, not when running GUI. Jamie: Can’t reproduce problem. TO DO for Emily: Put scenario and command to run headless in box for Jamie 3. STEM Update: Ahmad As new committer, will split repository, create branch; as soon as ready to do so, will alert Jamie and Stefan 4. Bugs 530858: Need way to run different random number seeds for stochastic solver; posted Jamie; assigned Emily 530546: Avoiding misspellings in disease – and population decorator; posted Taras; new, stem.ui-inbox 530549: Warning that decorators are not editable in STEM; posted Taras; new, stem.ui-inbox 5. Documentation Updates *Jamie and Stefan: For solvers using Apache math, put in link; improve documentation *Emily: Write up doc on stochastic solvers after her course 6. Items from Participants *Ahmad: Working on project using EMF to generate new forms *Anna: Problem with model generator setting value for transmission rate; will share equations, formula she want to use on next call. Jamie: Can create with a constant, edit value later *Taras: Posted bugs above: working on PhD on network modeling, possibly looking at swine fever, Asian flu; in October talked with Emily about project issues, proposes using Gitter to discuss STEM’s open source projects; POSTED ON WIKI 2/8/2018 |
