- Andy Turner is heading to a first Distributed Systems Online (http://dsonline.computer.org/) Games and Simulation Topic Area (http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/topics/gas/gas_2.html) meeting, 2007-03-01 and 2007-03-02 in Los Angeles, USA. See http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/organisations/DSOnline/GamingAndSimulation/ for more details of this meeting and Andy's work on the topic area. The topic area is just getting going, but please bear it in mind when publishing research on this area. The subtitle "Applications for Entertainment, Education, and Modeling" gives you some idea of what we are focussing on, but we welcome all contributions related to game and simulation technology.
- CSAP
- Alison sent an email:
- For those of you not at the CSAP meeting yesterday, the agenda of future meetings will be determined by each member of the group in turn; this will allow everyone to set an agenda that interests them! I propose to modify this slightly by assigning two people to set and chair the meetings, a combination of academics and PGs/Postdocs.
- I'll compile a list of pairings with dates, please indicate to me if you are happy with this and we'll take it from there!
- I replied:
- Happy, only, I would like us to start putting material from these CSAP meetings online, linked from the CSAP home page directly. A proposed agenda should appear first, after the meeting the agenda and some notes which link to any digital copies of presented material. I think Steven should have a hand in this, but again I think it is something we all should practice to develop skills.
- Alison replied
- I agree with all of what you say - I'm currently typing up some brief notes - mainly with action points so we don't forget what people have agreed to do. I have referenced your blog as a more detailed account of the meeting :)
- Wow! Alison read yesterdays blog entry on the CSAP Business Meeting
- It is time to publish Andy Turner's CSAP web page
- GeoLinking IE
- Chat with Chris
- Checking Paul is set for the meeting on Friday
- In meeting with Richard Sinnott on monday, they did a demo of portal/portlet authentication using Shibboleth
- Their portal is based on GridSphere like ours so this could make it really easy for us to adopt the security as they've worked it out.
- We'll probably need to get a UK Shibboleth account, a bit like an ATHENS X509 account.
- There should be an identity manager at Leeds
- John Watt from Nesc will be joining the teleconference :)
- Want to go through the latest GLS documentation with Paul.
- Most of the meeting on Friday will be about the OGC process.
- Want to identify who is working on the same thing GLS clients as us in the IE

- Cluster support
- What can Steven do for us?
- David Hughes is Steven's staff manager and is to be asked if Steven's role can be extended to take the minutes of such meetings
- If not then this is a skill (like chairing a meeting), so perhaps we can take it in turns
- What can we do for Steven?
- Web
- Andy T to ask webmaster to organise the news that goes into the SoG newsletter to be linked from the CSAP latest section of the web page as news
- This can be done by tagging each news section of the newsletter and linking from there.
- It would also be good to have a track back to old news
- One way to do this is to have a single link on the CSAP page that doesn't change, but which points to the latest SoG News and have the latest SoG News move in time to a dated file. Changing it's link to old news as it goes...
- Andy E to ensure everyone can edit their home page
- ASAP update
- CSAP meeting organisation
- Paul to take over from Phil organising internal seminar programme
- Take it in turns to chair and set agenda for meeting
- Regular time for meetings?
- Wednesday 12-2pm
- Let's try not to clash with other cluster meeting
- Use of outlook calendar?
- Invite the director of research
- Next meeting

- Graham Clarke to draft agenda and chair
- Invite new head of school to say something about what does he want us to do...
- AoB
- Finance
- Mark thinks CSAP is flush to the tune of about £15K thanks mainly to John Stillwell :)
- Steve to keep a record of what cluster money has been spent and on what
- Dianna request for sponsorship of event approved
- Linda has a data request for local houseprice data for Leeds
- Land registry data apparently can't be obtained for unit postcodes very easily
- Once we bought it we can give it to anyone
- I suggested we do a bit of research and look to put it on GRADE :)
- Social
- Linda to throw out some dates
- Teaching cluster associate with PhD positions
- Is there a problem with non-eu v eu in terms of finance?
- Mark has 16 applications

- Results for optimising just on age80AndOver look OK
- This means that there probably isn't a logic problem with the optimisation.
- Set a run going on the Beowulf that weights the optimisation such that age80AndOver is 1000 times more important than before...
- Erling
- Spurred on by Pippa and Mike, he is going to attempt some modelling work for his PhD :)
- This could be good, but we should be realistic about how much can be done.
- Starting to program in Java now and build a model and results when his deadline is in 2007 is a tough call.
- Still PhD or no PhD, this could be the best thing Erling has done since learning one of the first Object Orientated languages SIMULA which he says he did back in the dark ages...
- I showed Erling Netbeans and the relevant bits of my grids and geomorphometrics code.
- I explained he could base his work on this and get my help.
- We mused on the benefits of hexagonal rasters as opposed to squares.
- I explained that it is best to start simple at this stage and build in complexity over time.
- So, flow accumulation on a rock hard landscape with no infiltration with even rainfall/evaporation and friction on any slope.
- We did not discuss 3D versus 2D, but I did explain that a consideration of the assumptions of a chosen framework would be essential.
- Although I did a few hours work, I was really only here to play in a squash tournament.

- GeoLinking IE and NCeSS e-Infrastructure
- Call from Chris Higgins
- In the proposal of the NCeSS e-Infrastructure project it was written that SEE-GEO (part of the JISC OGC Grid Collision) would provide us with some help on security.
- Chris Higgins is going with Fiona Culloch from SDDS to a technical meeting on Monday with Richard Sinnott from NeSC.
- Bascially this is about portlet security and they will mention the work we are doing.
- Richard is thought to be keen to do some work and hopefully will contact Paul with regard security in our portlets.

- Developing an "intellectual agenda":
- What is an "intellectual agenda"?
- Information Systems and Technology in Organisations and Society (ISTOS) Intellectual Agenda
- Searching for "intellectual agenda" with search engines doesn't suggest that this is a common term on the Web.
- There is no wikipedia page on Intellectual_Agenda as yet.
- Is this a defining moment... er... not yet... still trying to work out what it is yet... and then need to think if the combined words in the term is worthy of definition.
- Intellectual
- An intellectual is a person who uses his or her intellect to work, study, reflect, speculate on, or ask and answer questions with regard to a variety of different ideas.
- Having read the sections on Intellectualism and Academics and public intellectuals I am coming to the conclusion that my intellectuial agenda is one of a computational geographer, i.e the application of the computational science paradigm to the problems of geography. Thank you Stan!
- Agenda
- Basically this means actions to be undertaken.
- So I have an "intellectual agenda" it is exposed as my Web Content in particular in my Research Interests Web Page
- NCeSS e-Infrastructure

- NTF Strategi data: Retrieving data: Job number 176786110c4ed2ec2k.
- Tried to add a comment to Free Our Data: the blog: 96
- I used to think information management was more organised and information was being integrated far more than what I now think. It seems so obviously the right thing to do for government and to improve public services and our environment. I appreciate that there is some need for security and control over access to information. But I agree with my friend and mentor Stan Openshaw when he suggested that not integrating and analysing data for epidemiology is wrong - he actually went further and called it "Crime" and that those preventing the work were accomplices and also criminal... I know we can never prove that we could have saved lives by being able to do the work with better data and access... If we the public are the government as Judy suggests, then we want access to the data to help do the work.

- There are not dense and well distributed observations and sensor networks in the tropics measuring atmospherics.
- Cyril measuring 5-15km in atmosphere (in the troposphere?)
- Infra red and microwave channels
- 1% change in Co2 results in a 0.04% change in the signal... so very hard to detect...

- Has need for cloud/aerosol masks
- Believes error less over the tropics as temperature more constant...
- I got confused about whether the signals were reliable over land... I got the impression they weren't, but I was confused...
- HALO European project
- There is a 25 year archive to be processed for this signal using Cyrils newly developed retrieval method
- Thanks Cyril :)
- We are hosting a Penal Spaces Workshop
- The workshop is really about "production of social and personal space in prisons in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States".
- This seems to be more sociology than geography sigh!
- It would have been good if there was a component about where there are and where to plan prisons of different types, what their charcateristics are etc...
- The location and characteristics of prisons and their populations and change over time are interesting geographical topics.
- Indeed for the MoSeS demographic model we are developing, we should be having people moving in and out of prisons (as with other communal establishments)...
- School Staff Meeting
- Asked Mike if we can compare web access stats with other geography departments
- I am to expect a 1-2hr chat with a reviewer between April and June as part of the Staff Review and Development Scheme

- Nanlin came and chatted about the proposal stage of a visualisation project based on MUDSES.
- I advised Nanlin to write down her visualisation ideas and to liase through Mark to get the others to do the same.
- MUDSES is not forging the collaborations I had hoped.
- Too much writing and not enough reading and collaboration in my opinion.
- Nanlin asked for the details of our conversation to remain confidential. This is a shame as I wanted to try and pin things down in an open way. Not a name and shame, but a key to collaboration.

- The unsatisfactory nature of the Age80AndOver result might be for a reason more complex than just not having an easily findable proportion of male or female individual age80AndOver single households.

- Need to investigate the HSAR Records for records with AGEH=80:
- 3.6% of HSAR records are with AGEH=80 which is larger than all other categories...
- Are there one person households with AGEH=80 both male and female?
- What proportion of all 80 and over year old HSAR HRP records are these?
- If this is very low then the chance of pulling the record at random is low, so the way the optimisation works could be very slow...
- Consider a speed up involving selecting on a smaller set of 80 and over year old HSAR HRP records

- Seminar on 'Agent based simulation for dynamic Socio-economics Systems' by Nanlin Jin
- Nanlin is developing a land-use model similar to FEARLUS as part of Modelling Uncertainty in Dynamic Socio-economic Systems (MUDSES)
- I think it would be good to build an Agent Based Model incorporating all the actors/agents involved in upland management
- This includes the farmers, land-owners, policy makers and the scientists
- This model could be detailed with conflicts and resolution information
- It would be interesting to model the annoyance of agents, with other agents of the same type and with other agents in general.
- It was noted that some stakeholders might already be getting annoyed with the researchers
- Seminar on ‘Ecological mechanisms of global vegetation diversity and global fire patterns’ by Sergey Venevsky
