Please note schedule changes: No call July 4 (Independence Day in the USA); short call on July 11
STEM Community Call June 27, 2013
On Call: Stefan (moderator), Jamie, Matt, Kun, Matthias, Chris, Judy
1. V 2.0 Milestone 3 is now available
ALL: Use, test for bugs
Milestone 3
*Bug Fixes
*New Stochastic model solver
*Visual Editor initial check-in
*New Measles model
* UI, model development workflow, builder tools, xtext, all in STEM
**Model generator feature added to STEM-core (with required plugins)
**Project Explorer customized (show/hide generated Java code)
***Hot injection of generated plugins
V 2.0 Release Features
*Xtext model generator feature
*Graphical Model Design (GUI for code generation, Visual Editor)
*Bug Fixes from 1.4.1
*Performance improvements
*Dengue Example
TO DO: Kun to decide on example to use
*Stochastic Modeling - New Solver
TO DO: After Eclipse release, contact Eclipse legal re Apache
TO DO: Jamie to follow up with contact from Gates Foundation modeling meeting on other stochastic solvers
TO DO: Milestone 4 scheduled July 30
2. New Documentation for 2.0; in & in good shape
*Pubs updated on wiki
*Updated upcoming (and recent) talks on main website
*Model generator inside STEM (vs in development environment) - Matt (multiple locations in wiki?)
*New periodic control graph generator - Stefan
*MMR model - Stefan
*Shape file graph generator - Chris
*Visual Editor - Matt
*Stochastic solver - Stefan
*Directionally biased mixing model – Jamie
3. Directionally biased mixing model – Jamie
Bird migration, uses Earth Science and bird migration data
Involves using 2 components - generator & population model
4. Changes at Eclipse: Contributor License Agreement and Hosting at any social coding site
TO DO: Jamie, Matt, Stefan to read, discuss email dated 6/27 on new CLA, changes in workflow from bugzilla patches to temporary repository (Garet account via GIP)
TO DO: Jamie will write Wayne @ Eclipse
5. Bugs of the week
409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders
409540 Proposal: Make solvers "first class" objects.
400920 Shape file graph generator. Bug closed
368889 Enable stochastic simulations for all disease models
TO DO: Close bug, explain that stochastic simulations are now handled differently; open new bug
FEATURE Request: Fix aggregate time series view. Still TO DO
5. Items from Participants
Jamie: Positive response to STEM including model generator @ Gates Foundation modeling meeting; positive response to
presentation @ Imperial College in London; expect uptick in downloads over next few weeks
Kun: Addressed, resolved bug in transmission rates (Lattice, wiki); Alex to confirm code
