July, 2004
- The Synchronized List Iterator allows nested looping. Viewer for Time Series Floats parameters.
- Improved Parameter Evaluator.
April, 2003
- Improved support for iteration (looping), including allowing parallel executions where appropriate (e.g., during Monte Carlo simulations). Condor
can be used to manage module executions on remote machines. The Synchronized List Iterator allows looping over a set of values. The QuickStart tutorial has been extended to demonstrate how to set up a Monte Carlo study. Better reporting of problems during module execution. Usability improvements. - Significantly expanded documentation (although more work remains)
There is one major outstanding problem:
- Import and export of library members via XML can fail in some circumstances. The work-around is to use the binary mode for export and import.
URLs for reporting problems, requesting support, and making suggestions are listed in the MIMS About box in the software.This release includes a very early version of new plotting capabilities, which rely on the R statistical package
. These new capabilities will provide many options for plot type, layouts, and output formats. The framework object "Plot Page Object" and the modules "Scatter Plot Module" and "Time Series Module" will only work if R has been installed and is on your path. A future MIMS release will include documentation on the new plotting capabilities.Current applications of the MIMS Framework include the following:
- EPA's Total Risk Integrated Methodology project uses MIMS to configure and management model executions.
- The Community Modeling and Analysis System Center has prepared a
tutorial for running the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions model and the Community Multiscale Air Quality model in MIMS.
