Hi All,

The update regarding the project is as mentioned below:

   - I have updated the database in the server with the open street map
   data of Indiana, after converting it to a routable network. I had extracted
   data of just Indianapolis city too, but then the code for Indiana too
   completed execution (after ~111 hours!), so I have uploaded the entire data
   of Indiana. So now simulations can be run in Indiana
   - The map has been focused to Indianapolis by default.
   - Link: http://gw76.iu.xsede.org/criminfo/
   - A sample setup for simulating Routine Activity with locations and 50
   crime spots marked has been saved as - "*test1*" . You can load it and
   click on "Simulate Routine Activity" to run the simulation. You can also
   load "*test1-res*" to view the results directly
   - A sample setup for viewing the results of distance decay when
   simulated on a map with conditions like presence of police-agent, absence
   of guardian (victim-agent) at crime spot, inherent risk, profit value of
   spot etc. has been saved as - "*test2*". You can load it and click on
   "Simulate Distance Decay Activity" to run the simulation. You can also load
   "*test2-res*" to view the results directly of simulation run 5 times
   - I have started with commenting the code and documentation

Apart form the documentation, I believe I have completed all that I had
mentioned in my proposal (
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/nadeemanjum/14001).
Please note a couple of minor modifications to my original proposal:

   - The original proposal mentioned only one form of motion - Random. But
   we have implemented three forms of motion- Beeline, Random and Hybrid
   - The original proposal mentioned simulating movement of v-agent and
   police. However, I realized that there is no need to show the movement of
   v-agents and police on the map explicitly. What matters is the presence or
   absence of police and victim-agent (guardian of spot) in the vicinity of
   the crime spot. These factors have been considered using a probabilistic
   model for deciding whether the criminal-agent breaks into the crime spot,
   so it serves the purpose.

Obviously, I will be continuing after GSoC too for working towards a
publication and collecting data by running the simulation a large number of
times.

 If there is anything else you feel needs to be done before the GSoC
deadline of Sep 23 (apart form documentation and testing), please let me
know.

Thanks,
Nadeem.
