| [stem-dev] CORRECTED NOTES FOR THE STEM CALL ON APRIL 12 |
Please delete the earlier notes; the notes below include corrections. Notes from the STEM Call on April 12, 2018 On the call: Jamie, Emily, Taras, Nereyda, Stefan, Judy Next call: Thursday, May 10 1. Upcoming STEM release to Eclipse 4.0 to be identified as STEM Version 4.0 Milestone 1 *Unable to join call, will update next month *Jamie: Ahmad has committed the new STEM4 branch, but not sure of status of changes to framework and icons; after testing confirms we have a working build, will set schedule for move and presentation to Eclipse *TO DO: Rerun EMF on all *Per Taras: A call with Ahmad, Jamie, Stefan might be helpful to discuss technical matters prior to the next team call 2. Project Updates Anna: Problem setting value for transmission rate with 2 populations (water/nonwater birds) *Unable to join call; has been working with Taras; Taras was able to help *Taras: They may have a feature request, will follow up with Anna *TO DO for Anna: Email equation with technical detail to Jamie & others to review *Deferred: Report from Anna on her experience viewing YouTube video on model generator (multiple lines in a definition) Emily: Problem running experiments with different seeds *The “Randomize Seed” feature Jamie added to the stochastic solver works! *TO DO for Ahmad: Move feature to new branch (currently works only in head branch) *Will report on work with colleague on R package when farther along *Will provide documentation on stochastic solvers; per Jamie, options are (1) add to solver page, (2) link to new page, (3) create downloadable scenario and include there Emily: Query re mixing edges, how to create modifiers *Response: Mixing edges are modifiable; read basic information on modifiers; consult migratory bird and evacuation examples Taras: Multiple items *Re Gitter: Everyone can use, can solve small issues, not large ones; Jamie reports he has joined *Re Wiki page: There is already an old note in the wiki at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Batch_Mode_(Running_Experiments)#Sequence_Tutorial; Taras will cover work on an actualization with Emily *Emily’s experiment is akin to his; will collaborate to create new wiki page on generating parameters for stochastic solver *Will share poster for upcoming conference (his master’s thesis work) following event * PhD work will involve taking systematic look at population models of wild boars; currently reviewing the literature 3. Bugs 530858: Need way to run different random number seeds for stochastic solver; “Randomize Seed” feature resolves problem, can close bug BUT must first to move to branch (TO DO for Ahmad) 530546: Avoiding misspellings, alternate spellings in disease – and population decorator; posted Taras; new, stem.ui-inbox 530549: Warning that decorators are not editable through the scenario in STEM, need to modify directly; posted Taras; new, stem.ui-inbox; need to discuss solutions; unclear how to handle (pop up? double click?) 4. Updates from Team *Judy: Permission given to Nima Shariati at Lund University (Sweden) School of Economics and Management to use image of STEM related graph for worldwide air travel as cover for PhD thesis; TO DO: Get image of cover, link to the thesis to post on STEM wiki 5. Items from Participants *Nereyda: Article from conference soon to be published; TO DO: Post link on wiki, add to citations *Stefan: Weekly integration build working again after brief break *Jamie: Weekly builds now run at IBM and automatically upgrade to Eclipse; could do directly; TO DO: At appropriate time, discuss potential build server switch with webmaster at Eclipse |
