GSoC Week 15

-

 Last blog with the work updates of GSoC 2020 after nearly completing the great project with great people💖 (it was just awesome). Will be surely sharing my complete experience of GSoC in another blog. So, coming to the final updates made to SBSCL last week with the meeting updates, here are the points:


  • As discussed in the last blog, I updated the complete documentation of the library using maven and also updated the website (https://draeger-lab.github.io/SBSCL/).

  • Also, updated the README by adding the description from the new features and other minor fixes.

  • Made a pull request (PR #57) with all the documentation updates.

  • Last week, we could not have a proper meeting due to internship tests at my university, and I had just met one mentor for 20 minutes talk. He suggested me to add some guidelines for using the library with the diagrams showing the workflow of the library.

  • So, I added the UserGuidelines.md explaining how to simulate different models using SBSCL.

  • I also added the sequence diagrams for all the simulations supported with guidelines on how to update the diagrams on major changes in the library.

  • I updated the minor changes requested by the mentors and added supported packages section in README to check the supported versions of the different packages.


These were the major updates last week with some minor changes suggested by mentors. We also merged the pull request today and are releasing the version 2.0🎉 of SBSCL with major changes. Thanks for reading the blog post!

    Thanks for all the amazing work on SBSCL, Hemil. Over the summer you've made valuable contribution to the code base, i hope you also enjoyed the experience and learnt some new tech.

    The UserGuidelines page is <3
    I think it will increase the visibility of project substantially.

GSoC Week 10

This week I mainly worked on adding the support of the stochastic simulation to SBSCL. And, it is excellent that the simulation is giving great results with most tests passing. This addition of stochastic simulation has improved SBSCL supporting most of the simulation types now, which makes it a fully-featured simulation library. Now, here’s the summary of the work done this week with the topics discussed in the meeting: Mentors suggested writing the work done overview of the week before some hours of the meeting so that they can go through and provide their views in the meeting properly. We then mainly discussed the stochastic simulation implementation (using FERN) and the runtime due to simulating many times to get the mean and standard deviation. We decided to test all the models from the stochastic test suite and update the result format according to the test suite results. I worked on this mainly, and now the output format of the result is updated. The new test file StochasticTest

GSoC Week 11

Last week, I mainly worked on passing the current failing stochastic tests and ran Travis CI successfully. With this, we also started working on refactoring the SBMLinterpreter class, which has become quite a big class doing many things. Here is the quick summary of the updates from the weekly meeting with the work updates: In the meeting, we mainly discussed the failing stochastic tests. We decided to work on them and check whether the results were converging towards the pre-defined results on increasing the number of simulations or not. If they don't, then it was for sure that there is some issue in the implementation. So, I started working on that, and the small issue I found was that while comparing with the pre-defined results, the wrong column was considered from the pre-defined results, which made some tests fail. It is fixed now through this commit . After this, on further checking, we saw that some of the tests were like failing all the time regardless of the number of sim

Hi, I am Hemil Panchiwala, 2nd year CSE student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India. I am incredibly excited to share that I was selected in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year with the National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB) as a mentoring organization. I will be working on the project " Simulation of system biology models in Java: support for new features " in this program. I am incredibly thankful to the wonderful mentors, namely Dr. Andreas Dräger , Dr. Matthias König , Mykola Zakharchuk, and Shalin Shah , who helped me to get selected and will guide me throughout this project. This blog series is dedicated mainly to share my progress for the project. The official coding period starts from 1st June, and the community bonding period has currently begun. In this period, I will be exploring the codebase with solving some small issues and will discuss the implementation details with the mentors and finalize them. What is NRNB? The aim of the
