h2. Attending

James Hetherington, Jens Nielsen, Ulf Schiller, Timm Krüger, Derek Groen, Gary Macindoe, Mayeul d'Avezac, Miguel Bernabeu, Peter Coveney

h2. Minutes

• Mayeul d'Avezac will be the research software engineer initially assigned to the project. This may change during the duration of the project.
• We don't have a start date yet. We will have to wait for Research Services to finalise the contract.
• We will use HemeLB processes and infrastructure (ticketing, version control, continuous integration, etc.)
• Mayeul to be present at HemeLB sprint planning/review meetings and Timm to join on Skype.
• We will consider migrating one or more of the previous infrastructure components to UCL centralised systems if deemed advantageous.
• Code review (CR) tasks will be shared amongst HemeLB team (defined to include core developers plus Timm and Ulf). Miguel will assigned CR to individuals according to expertise.
• Mayeul will hot desk at the CCS 2 days a week (desk availability permitting).
• Timm to come down to London 2/3 during the duration of the project.
• Code documentation to be generated:
  • Document describing execution.
  • Doxygen for newly written code.
  • Two reports: 6 month and end of project (MA to lead with input from others).
• Tests to be generated:
  • Regression for code that gets copied over.
  • Unit tests for newly developed classes.
  • Performance regression will be investigated during the duration of the project.
• Dissemination workshops wasn't funded by ARCHER. Consider organising it with funding sourced from: UKCOMES, Software Sustainability Institute, etc.

h2. Action items

• MA, PC: To keep an eye open for other projects developing similar models (Chopard et al.).
• TK, MB: To prepare reading list (shared via Zotero).
• TK: To share sequential implementation with MA.
• MA: To talk to Dan Holmes about reusing code from magnetic drug delivery. In particular particle exchange between computational subdomains.
• MB: To put corrected milestone list on HemeLB wiki. To relocate current milestone 9 after milestone 3.
• MB: To plan 6 month report.
• MB: To organise a meeting after month 1 to discuss software architecture.
• MB: To check RSDT access to trac, etc.
