ENM Pipeline Conference Call 14 Sep 2004

Difference between version 18 and version 1:

Line 2 was replaced by line 2
- Jones, Zhang, Peirera, Higgins, Berkley
+ Jones, Zhang, Pereira, Higgins, Berkley
At line 4 added 35 lines.
+
+ * Ricardo summary of work
+ ** Finishing java bindings for OM, includes JNI code
+ ** Looking at the ENM pipeline, thinks OM
+ *** replaces rescale values actor (done internally now)
+ *** 3 GARP actors replaced
+ *** 4 step postprocessing optimization algorithm replaced too as one OM actor
+
+ * OM actors will take layers, a sampling grid, and occurrence data as inputs
+ ** handles all clipping an re-projecting needed
+ ** image outputs are currently GeoTIFF and bitmap
+ *** current image converter needs to be able to create lower resolution images for display
+ ** DIGIR query is currently a single call to DiGIR
+ *** Need to do a DiGIR 'inventory' call to get list of species, then iterate across those species
+ **** But note that EcoGrid does not provide the DiGIR inventory method
+ **** Also note DiGIR results are not yet handled in Kepler
+
+ * Post processing steps are underspecified
+
+ * Action items
+ ** finish up DiGIR integration (Rod)
+ ** Need environmental layers in ecogrid with metadata (Deana? Matt will ask her)
+ *** Ecogrid moves data layer files to nodes as needed by OM
+ ** implement post processing, mostly GIS ops along with ROC threshold (Ricardo will further specify)
+ *** SummaryStats -- pairwise intersections between Grid layers (current vs predicted)
+ ** implement OM (Ricardo)
+ ** GRASS routines need to be redone using JNI to better handle GRASS output (Jianting)
+ *** verify all GIS operations are complete
+ *** Clipping actor needs to gen a covex hull, check to be sure it does
+ *** deal with data transfer issues for GRASS web service
+ ** Distributed computation to apply more significant computational power across iterations (Dan)
+ *** use map actor to refactor pipeline for simplification of iteration cycles
+ *** 5 climate scenarios, 1000 species, 500 garp runs per species
+ *** Make sure data is available on node when OM needs it for a given iteration
+ **** Probably passing file-handles instead of data tokens (GDAL in OM depends on file handles)
