Hi All, We had the mid evaluation of the project last Tuesday and the following concerns were raised.
1. The lack of visibility of the overall solution in the project demonstration. 2. The ability to come up with a solution where, scientist who does not have a background in computer science can create new parsers (metadata extraction logic) The project was demonstrated using the web interface that we developed. For the final evaluation we expect to demonstrate the system using laravel PHP Reference Gateway running in a production server and demonstrate how a new data product that gets generated will be identified, indexed and will be available for searching and hope this will handle the first issue. We also had a meeting with Dr. Dilum our internal supervisor where we identified things that can be done from now to 15th January, the expected project completion date 1. Do a proper performance test and publish a paper before final marks for the project is finalized (marks will be finalized by the end of March). 2. Getting to work more parsers, so that Sudhakar can ask more users to use the system. This will help to get more feedback on the system and have a real world usage. 3. Implement the support for provenance aware workflow execution in Airavata using our system. We have written a draft paper which I have attached here with. We showed this to Dr. Srinath and Dr Dilum and they suggested that we do a proper performance testing (The one that already done is not up to the expected standards). Given the available time we need to prioritize our work and select a set of tasks that is doable and has the most impact. What do you all think?
