Status Report for 02/14/07 to 02/21/07

1. Time series analysis graph
I have been working with drawing time series analysis graph by using BFO’s graphic library (http://big.faceless.org/). By using this java library, we can draw graphs with ease. Since the library can be used as a tag library, we can use this with JSP or JSF. Especially, with one of JSTL tag library, , BFO’s graph library can make a graph iteratively without explicit operation. The variable used in this case can be an array or list in the bean class. Another advantage of using BFO’s graphic library, we can make the graph interactive so that a user can click data inside the graph and verify its contents. For this purpose, we need to use both javascript and png graph format. As for the next step, I will put more interactive features to improve user interface in time series analysis portlet of QuakeSim2 project.

2. Workflow mapping in Grids
I’ve started to help Yili to implement workflow mapping scheme. My work is to supply information such as GPIR, Network Weather Service, running time prediction to a match maker which will construct an efficient DAGMan workflow based on the inputs. Currently I’m looking at what kind of interfaces will be used between the match maker and data suppliers
