[stem-dev] Notes from STEM Call on 09/01/2010

09/01/2010

Task and Documentation Tracking

On call: Jamie, Arik, Matt, Stefan, Traci, Dave, Markus, Werner, Judy

 

Update re release schedule

·         Stefan: Took out Triggers (Traci’s input), still have Modifiers

·         Stefan: No way to create Automatic Experiments, designing wizard will take work

  • Decision: Will upload examples, document, show how to edit manually

·         Matt: Still need IT review?

  • Action: Pro forma, but need to get on calendar before release date  

New downloadable scenario (multi-population example)

·         Stefan: On web site

·         Arik: Has looked at

Source code examples on the web site (suggested by Mattias)

·         Jamie: Can show the method, give snippets, examples

·         Stefan: Can’t calculate delta

·         Decision: Add new wiki topic on source code example when writing disease models

Fix to incidence reported by Traci

·         Stefan: Have a fix; Yossi will put up new build on web today;

·         Traci: Will try out tomorrow

Bug of the week, continue discussing 175148 (unnecessary Dublin core object allocation)

·         Matt: Fix for next release

·         Discussion: Like fix for URIs? Leave it null? Required in EMF models?

·         Decision: If possible, make Dublin core optional, to load on demand

Items from participants

Jamie: Visiting scientist from Thailand arrives tomorrow, will explore STEM; Looking at malaria literature, hopes to use Earth Science data, wants to consult w/ malaria experts; Arik will set up call next week w/ Jamie and his professor

Arik: What should be in mosquito models (vector disease models); how accurate should they be? In position to tie to population levels; per Jamie, can parameterize based on what’s know to get seasonality; per Arik, can do but textbook models (e.g., Stefan’s) are not spatial; need to define goal in conversation w/ his professor and Jamie, leverage spatial aspect of STEM

Judy: Multi-population up on Newsgroup, wiki; new tutorial on Population Initializer on wiki; put zombie model on What’s New?

Matt: Zombie model developed for contest by Finnish scientist who wants to participate, will join call next week; in conversation w/ Matt about a web-based version of STEM; per Markus, this is serious science, has link to paper about the zombie model; will send; Judy will put model and link to paper on What’s New

Traci: Lockheed people have sent something to IBM contract people; Jamie will check

Werner: Working on translation options; will send German script to Jamie for review; volunteers to present a STEM download at JavaOne (no one else from team will attend, per Jamie)
