Thu Sep 23 15:06:12 CEST 2010After many struggles, a couple of rewrites from scratch of the discrete event system (DES), we recently got our first network model completely working. The spiker3 network which was already available as a low-level Heccer / DES test case, was converted to a high-level NDF model and then instantiated and run from SSP. Although it is a very simple test case with only

Two initiatives, NineML and NeuroML that compete for the same market that is so small that it does not exist yet. So no reason to get anxious nor excited about it. As long as they have complementary visions, under community control of course, this is a good thing and the future looks bright: as Ted Carnevale pointed out during the NeuroML meeting in Arizona: the competition between the Genesis

The Neurospaces / GENESIS 3 documentation system consists of a flat set of simple documents that are hyperlinked together. The main entry point into the documentation can be found here. The basic outline of the structure of the documentation can be found here. Most of the documentation is structured according to the GENESIS user workflow, a simple description of operations that a user executes

Last week we learned that GENESIS 3 development will receive additional funding. This funding was requested in the form of an administrative supplement to the original GENESIS 3 grant a couple of weeks ago. The money will be used to accelerate the development of documentation specific to GENESIS 3.It is indeed a shame that there is so much software there, in the form of Neurospaces software

subject: a soliton solver and a compartmental solverJust wanted to clarify something that was brought up yesterday during our journalclub.So what I said was that it is a bad idea to integrate a soliton solver (fluid dynamics, hyperbolic partial differential equations) with a compartmental solver (parabolic partial differential equations), because the structure of the equations and their solutions

About a week ago, we have made available the monotone repositories of the Neurospaces Studio and the Project Browser. The installer script 'neurospaces_build' can now seemlessly pull from these repositories, and create a directory structure required for Neurospaces development. Preparing a developer PC can now be done in a couple of minutes. The distributed nature of the monotone version

Mando continues his work on the GENESIS 2 SLI: for some time, the target has been to get the classic Purkinje cell model to work because it uses different types of channels, has a complex morphology, and obviously because its behavior is well described and links nicely with experiments that have been done in the past. It seems like quite soon this model will work, from using the vanilla GENESIS

With the Neurospaces project maturing and becoming more useful, I decided to start blogging on tangible progress of the software development. The intent is to give a weekly update, for myself and other people interested and participating in the project.People somewhat familiar with the project know that we are currently focusing on single neuron modeling. This does not mean that network

This is what I consider important when doing software development:An application is (often) inherently limited by the technology used to develop the application. So before starting the development of an application, try to assess how flexible the application should be (in the future). Or better, try to anticipate on interfacing, and try to avoid (future) vendor or technology lockin. If
