Minutes for UA MOPS meeting, June 06, 2006
In attendance:
Kobus Barnard, Bongki Moon, Francesco Pierfederici (phone), Praveen Rao,
Mohamad Hegazy
Main points:
o Mohamad Hegazy joined us for the metting. He is an MS studnet in CS who
is potentially interested in joining the team. This is good news because
Scott Morris will be reducing his time commitment to the project. We are
hopeful that Mohamad will pick up some of Scott's duties in the upcomming
weeks.
o Praveen discussed Rob Jedicke's documents regarding the overview of
operations, software for orbit proximity, use of JPL package, file format,
etc.
o Francesco reported that what we call the "progjection pipeline" is far
from finished in the PanSTARS system. Since this is a critical piece of
infrastructure for our approach, it is a likely candidate for
co-development. The issues are congruent with Praveen Rao's research
interests, but we are open to dicsussion on how to distrubute the
development.
o Francesco said PS is willing to provide us with accounts on their machines
so that we can have access to the JPL package. More detail should come
forth.
o Francesco was asked to investigate more on the database schema design,
whose overview was given us in a pdf format. Among others, there was
a few design issues around the tracklets and orbits. Examples are:
Is an orbit stored as a collection of tracklets? How are they related
to each other in the schema design, via a foreign key? Is any ER-diagram
available?
