Hi Sandhyaa

As given on the list, I would certainly rate the automated parameter
setting as a higher priority task, so my preference would be for you to
try to work on that one.

The goal of this (parameter) project is to design and implement an
improved system for setting parameters in dynamic models from
instructions within the model text itself. We recently implemented
something similar for NLA/NLP models, but integrators use a different
API, withonly a few shared elements.

A good start would be to examine the operation of OPTION and SOLVER
statements in current ASCEND, then to examine the use of
solverparameters in the ascend/integrator/integrator.h and related code,
and develop an initial proposal for generalising the above OPTION and
SOLVER statements. If you could prepare some notes on that topic, and
send them to me in advance of submitting your proposal, I think that
would be a good move, and would allow us to determine if you have the
skills for the job.

Cheers
JP
