Vectorizers
A vectorizer is an algorithm for transforming bitmap lines into vector lines.
There are 3 different implementations vectorizers in ShapeLogic.
There are currently 3 different vectorizer implementations.
They all assume that you are working on binary gray scale images images.
So before you can use a vectorizer you have to convert your bitmap to this format.
The 2 first had a lot of problems and are now deprecated.
The vectorizers are part of a class hierarchy of different vectorization
algorithms, all sub classed from BaseVectorizer.
Common to current vectorizer implementations
- Assumes that you have a gray scale image with only black and white in it
- Are modifying the bitmap
It would probably be a good idea to loosen some of these restrictions.
MaxDistanceVectorizer
The main idea is that this will read a whole multi line at a time.
Then later it will split it according to max distance of pixels to the line
between start and end point of the multi line.
This vectorizer is the one that works well.
LineVectorizer
LineVectorizer is a vectorizer reading sequences of short line of length 5.
If 2 consecutive lines are close in direction you can merge them.
But if they are far away in angle you create a new line.
This approach ran into problems and has been deprecated for now.
DirectionBasedVectorizer
The main idea is that this will read a whole multi line at a time.
It is using a priority of different types of points around an intersection to
read trough an intersection where you can take different ways.
This approach ran into problems and has been deprecated for now.
Segmentation
Color and gray scale segmentation algorithm.
The segmentation algorithm works on both RGB and 8 bit gray scale images.
It is currently writing out information to a dialog box.

HTTP-LISTENER is the object in Araneida responsible for listening to a TCP port and reading requests that come in. When it gets a request, it calls a handler to process it.
It is possible to have more than one http-listener if you are publishing on more than one address or port. Multiple http-listeners may share the same handler, if you wich to publish the same content on many endpoints.
There are presently two concrete implementations of the http-listener interface: THREADED-HTTP-LISTENER (only available if your SBCL has the SB-THREAD feature) and SERVE-EVENT-HTTP-LISTENER. Both of these operate 'in the background' - i.e. without interfering with your interactive use of Lisp, but the serve-event listener blocks requests while it's processing, so is only appropriate if your responses come back in reasonably short time. On the other hand, it's seen a lot more use and is likely to be much more stable at present.
If you are using a reverse proxy (e.g. Apache's mod_proxy) in front of Araneida, you will probably want to use {THREADED,SERVE-EVENT}-REVERSE-PROXY-LISTENER. These have an additional TRANSLATIONS slot - this is a list whose elements are urlstrings mapping from the external URL hierarchy that the proxy is configured for to the internal URL that Araneida is listening for. For example,
:translations '(("http://www.examples.com/" "http://www.internal:8000/") ("http://images.examples.com/" "http://images.internal:8000/")
There are two reasons to use this:
Apache mod_proxy can also cache your responses when so configured. See the documentation on HTTP caching for details.
See example.lisp to learn most of what you need to know about http listeners.

EU Copyright upload filter bot simulation
The simulation presents a mockup of how the copyright content upload filter of the new EU copyright directive would technically operate and how user content platforms will have to work like.
Even though technical recognition could be achievable, a bot will never be able to identify legal uses of copyrighted content like quotations, parodies or critiques, heavily undermining our freedom of expression and information.
Tech
The simulation is completely front-end. A user interactive upload/database search/identify system would have required huge amounts of time and effort.
Only companies with massive resources can afford the development of this kind technologies. This results on giving US technological giants like Google or Facebook even more competitive advantage in front of smaller EU actors.

About Digital Rights Dev
The project goal is to construct tools and prototypes to help preserve citizens rights and freedoms in the digital environment and to give input and technical support in policy developments that have an impact on them.
Even though still in alpha, the project does its part in face of the emergency posed by the copyright upload filters
Further developments will involve more bots and yummy cookies. To keep in touch:


ENEMY OF THE STATE A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * * out of * * * *
You're not paranoid if they're really after you. That's the message of Enemy of the State, the latest techno-thriller from director Tony Scott who takes an exciting, if exaggerated, look at the lack of privacy in our increasingly technological society.
Will Smith portrays Robert Clayton Dean, a DC lawyer who unexpectedly becomes the target of intense scrutiny, when a former acquaintance (Jason Lee) gives him possession of a tape desperately wanted by the National Security Agency.
You see, the tape implicates NSA bureaucrat Reynolds (Jon Voight) in a highly unethical and illegal activity. So, he is bringing the full technological power of "big brother government" to track down and recover the tape, no matter whose civil liberties get violated.
So, when Robert finds himself under constant surveillance, the target of a smear campaign in the press, in unexpected financial distress, and in danger of losing his very life, there's only one person he can trust. Brill (Gene Hackman) is a security expert hired, but never seen, by Robert in the past. But the secretive Brill may not want to get involved.
Enemy of the State is stuffed to the gills with an ample supply of technology and paranoia. Sure, it exaggerates here and there, but it shrewdly grounds all of its hyperbole in technological fact and jargon. We're introduced to a hidden world...a surveillance state which exists around us even now, but the average citizen is oblivious to the countless electronic eyes upon him.
 In fact, some of the most sympathetic characters in the film are a few of those technogeeks. However, the message of the film is that the sum of all these earnest governmental workers "just doing their job" add up to a powerful weapon in the hands of an ambitious bureaucrat (like Voight).
Will Smith once again proves an amiable lead. Taken by itself, the role of Robert Clayton Dean is a little bland. But Smith's charisma shines through, and makes Dean a character worth rooting for.
Gene Hackman is, as usual, a welcome presence. The surveillance atmosphere of Enemy of the State favorably compares to The Conversation (also featuring Hackman), though the latter is easily a better film. Hackman's shrewd paranoia enlivens the film just when it begins to drag in its second half. So what if his character makes a few out-of-character mistakes...it's a pleasure just to watch Hackman chew on this meaty role.
The plot of the film is, unfortunately, coincidence-driven. If a certain sequence of events didn't happen in just the right order and just the right time, there'd be no movie. Luckily the action sequences have enough energy that you can ignore the manufactured plot and still have a good time. But a truly sharp thriller should be able to combine both plot and action.
Enemy of the State is a fun film to watch, even though it doesn't have as much substance as it initially seems. Still, you might think twice the next time you spy a surveillance camera glaring your way.

Below is more details about what makes HXLDash optimised for humanitarians.
HXLDash supports mapping of areas (polygons) and points
HXLDash is linked to the common operational data sets. If you include Pcodes for in your data set for that country and have the right HXL tag (#country+code, #adm1+code, #adm2+code, #adm3+code, #adm4+code) the dashboard will automatically download the appropriate matching geometry file, link your data to the geometry and produce a map. Please refer to list of support countries. Geometry files are taken from the UN Mapping Webservice and have been pre-processed to optimise them for web.
If your data set contains the tags #geo+lat, #geo+lon this will create a point map which can then be styled with data values from other columns.
HXLDash uses the HXL Humanitarian Exchange Language (HXL) tags and a suggestion engine to create charts and maps that make sense for your data set. These suggestions are then used to build the dashboard in just a few clicks. The suggestions engine reduces the need to have a complex interface to build charts. We are working on improving the suggestion engine algorithm so if a chart you want does not appear. Contact us and we'll correct the situation as soon as possible.
The suggestion engine works by analysing the tags present in your dataset, comparing them against a list of pre defined recipes for charts and maps. If the tags are present then the chart or map is produced.
We know that 50% of data products used in the field are on paper. HXLDash is designed to produced dashboards and maps that print easily on to an A4 piece of paper.
Humanitarians work in many contexts where low bandwidth internet is the norm. HXLDash is built with small file sizes in mind with some dashboards coming out as 10% the file size as popular dashboard products.
HXLDash can be chained with other tools in the HXL ecosystem to create powerful workflows. The HXL Proxy in particular can be used to transform and combine data before being processed by HXLDash. This means live workflows can be set up where updating the underlying data will update the visualisation.
HXLDash is free and open source under a MIT License. Please see the source code on our Github repo.

Using Ripple you can switch between different platforms very easily.
Go to the "platforms" panel box (initially on your left) to do so. Here you can specify your Platform (JIL, Opera or Web) as well as the device that runs that platform.
Go ahead and give it a try, your browser window will refresh itself with the desired platform loaded and it's device emulated.
Notice the "Emulate PPI" option, this will also attempt to resize the widget container to simulate the screen size based on the pixel density of the device being emulated. This is experimental and will currently only work if you're sizing your html elements in "em" or "%".


<mat-form-field>
is a component used to wrap several Angular Material components and apply common
Text field styles such as the
underline, floating label, and hint messages.
In this document, "form field" refers to the wrapper component <mat-form-field>
and
"form field control" refers to the component that the <mat-form-field>
is wrapping
(e.g. the input, textarea, select, etc.)
The following Angular Material components are designed to work inside a <mat-form-field>
:
<input matNativeControl>
& <textarea matNativeControl>
<select matNativeControl>
<mat-select>
<mat-chip-list>
The mat-form-field
supports 4 different appearance variants which can be set via the appearance
input. The legacy
appearance is the default style that the mat-form-field
has traditionally had.
It shows the input box with an underline underneath it. The standard
appearance is a slightly
updated version of the legacy
appearance that has spacing that is more consistent with the fill
and outline
appearances. The fill
appearance displays the form field with a filled background
box in addition to the underline. Finally the outline
appearance shows the form field with a
border all the way around, not just an underline.
There are a couple differences to be aware of between the legacy
appearance and the newer
standard
, fill
, and outline
appearances. The matPrefix
and matSuffix
elements are center
aligned by default for the newer appearances. The Material Design spec shows this as being the
standard way to align prefix and suffix icons in the newer appearance variants. We do not recommend
using text prefix and suffixes in the fill
and outline
variants because the label and input do not have the same
alignment. It is therefore impossible to align the prefix or suffix in a way that looks good when
compared with both the label and input text.
The second important difference is that the standard
, fill
, and outline
appearances do not
promote placeholders to labels. For the legacy
appearance specifying
<input placeholder="placeholder">
will result in a floating label being added to the
mat-form-field
. For the newer variants it will just add a normal placeholder to the input. If you
want a floating label, add a <mat-label>
to the mat-form-field
.
The floating label is a text label displayed on top of the form field control when
the control does not contain any text or when <select matNativeControl>
does not show any option text.
By default, when text is present the floating label
floats above the form field control. The label for a form field can be specified by adding a
mat-label
element.
In the legacy version of the <mat-form-field>
(one that has no appearance
attribute or has
appearance="legacy"
) if a label is not specified, the placeholder
attribute on the form control
is promoted to a label. If a label is specified, the placeholder
will be displayed as a normal
placeholder. The placeholder
will never be promoted to a label for standard
, fill
, and
outline
form fields. If you want to create a legacy form field with a placeholder but no label,
you will need to specify an empty label to prevent the placeholder
from being promoted.
<mat-form-field>
<mat-label></mat-label>
<input placeholder="Just a placeholder">
</mat-form-field>
If the form field control is marked with a required
attribute, an asterisk will be appended to the
label to indicate the fact that it is a required field. If unwanted, this can be disabled by
setting the hideRequiredMarker
property on <mat-form-field>
The floatLabel
property of <mat-form-field>
can be used to change this default floating
behavior. It can set to never
to hide the label instead of float it when text is present in
the form field control. It can be set to always
to float the label even when no text is
present in the form field control. It can also be set to auto
to restore the default behavior.
The floating label behavior can be adjusted globally by providing a value for
MAT_FORM_FIELD_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
in your application's root module. Like the floatLabel
input,
the option can be either set to always
, never
, or auto
.
@NgModule({
providers: [
{provide: MAT_FORM_FIELD_DEFAULT_OPTIONS, useValue: {floatLabel: 'always'}}
]
})
Hint labels are additional descriptive text that appears below the form field's underline. A
<mat-form-field>
can have up to two hint labels; one start-aligned (left in an LTR language, right
in RTL), and one end-aligned.
Hint labels are specified in one of two ways: either by using the hintLabel
property of
<mat-form-field>
, or by adding a <mat-hint>
element inside the form field. When adding a hint
via the hintLabel
property, it will be treated as the start hint. Hints added via the
<mat-hint>
hint element can be added to either side by setting the align
property on
<mat-hint>
to either start
or end
. Attempting to add multiple hints to the same side will
raise an error.
Error messages can be shown under the form field underline by adding mat-error
elements inside the
form field. Errors are hidden initially and will be displayed on invalid form fields after the user
has interacted with the element or the parent form has been submitted. Since the errors occupy the
same space as the hints, the hints are hidden when the errors are shown.
If a form field can have more than one error state, it is up to the consumer to toggle which
messages should be displayed. This can be done with CSS, ngIf
or ngSwitch
. Multiple error
messages can be shown at the same time if desired, but the <mat-form-field>
only reserves enough
space to display one error message at a time. Ensuring that enough space is available to display
multiple errors is up to the user.
Custom content can be included before and after the input tag, as a prefix or suffix. It will be included within the visual container that wraps the form control as per the Material specification.
Adding the matPrefix
directive to an element inside the <mat-form-field>
will designate it as
the prefix. Similarly, adding matSuffix
will designate it as the suffix.
In addition to the form field controls that Angular Material provides, it is possible to create
custom form field controls that work with <mat-form-field>
in the same way. For additional
information on this see the guide on
Creating Custom mat-form-field Controls.
<mat-form-field>
has a color
property which can be set to primary
, accent
, or warn
. This
will set the color of the form field underline and floating label based on the theme colors
of your app.
<mat-form-field>
inherits its font-size
from its parent element. This can be overridden to an
explicit size using CSS. We recommend a specificity of at least 1 element + 1 class.
mat-form-field.mat-form-field {
font-size: 16px;
}
If a floating label is specified, it will be automatically used as the label for the form
field control. If no floating label is specified, the user should label the form field control
themselves using aria-label
, aria-labelledby
or <label for=...>
.
Any errors and hints added to the form field are automatically added to the form field control's
aria-describedby
set.
This error occurs when you have specified two conflicting placeholders. Make sure that you haven't
included both a placeholder
property on your form field control and a <mat-placeholder>
element. The <mat-placeholder>
element is deprecated, you should use placeholder
for
placeholders and <mat-label>
for labels.
This error occurs if you have added multiple hints for the same side. Keep in mind that the
hintLabel
property adds a hint to the start side.
This error occurs when you have not added a form field control to your form field. If your form
field contains a native <input>
or <textarea>
element, make sure you've added the matInput
directive to it and have imported MatInputModule
. Other components that can act as a form field
control include <mat-select>
, <mat-chip-list>
, and any custom form field controls you've
created.

Statistical Machine Learning algorithms try to learn the structure of data by fitting a parametric distribution $p(x;θ)$ to it. Given a dataset, if we can represent it with a distribution, we can:
- Generate new data “for free” by sampling from the learned distribution in silico; no need to run the true generative process for the data. This is a useful tool if the data is expensive to generate, i.e. a real-world experiment that takes a long time to run. Sampling is also used to construct estimators of high-dimensional integrals over spaces.
- Evaluate the likelihood of data observed at test time (this can be used for rejection sampling or to score how good our model is).
- Find the conditional relationship between variables. For example, learning the distribution $p(x_2\vert x_1)$ allows us to build discriminative classification or regression models.
- Score our algorithm by using complexity measures like entropy, mutual information, and moments of the distribution.
Inference: $x\sim p_{X}$, $z=f(x)$.
Generation: $z\sim p_{Z}$, $x=f^{-1}(z)$
How can we use a model $p(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{z})$ to analyze some data $\mathbf{x}$? In other words, what hidden structure of $\mathbf{z}$ explains the data? We seek to infer this hidden structure using the model.
One method of inference leverages Bayes’ rule to define the posterior \[p(\mathbf{z} \mid \mathbf{x}) = \frac{p(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{z})}{\int_{z} p(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{z}) \text{d}\mathbf{z}}.\] The posterior is the distribution of the latent variables $\mathbf{z}$, conditioned on some (observed) data $\mathbf{x}$. Drawing analogy to representation learning, it is a probabilistic description of the data’s hidden representation. Often this distribution is unknown and difficult to compute due to intractable denominator (which has to be computed over all comfiguration of states). Hence, we go for approximations.
$2$ methods exist: Sampling methods a.k.a. Monte-Carlo methods and Variational inference.
Sampling methods involves drawing random samples from an unknown true distribution. Some methods are Importance sampling, Rejection sampling, Metropolis-hastings method and Gibbs sampling. The last two mthods falls under category of MCMC methods.
Variational methods involves approximating the unknown true distribution $p(\mathbf{x})$ with a simpler known distribution $q(\mathbf{x};\theta)$ parametrized by $\theta$. Basically we minimize the divergence between these distributions over $\theta$. To approximate $p(\mathbf{x})$, variational lower bound is the key. We then maximize this VB to approximate $q$ to $p$. Its connections with deeplearning are beautifully established in paper - Auto-encoding Variational Bayes (Kingma & Welling, 2014).
More on these methods could be read in the excellent book by David Mckay - `Information theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms’ and from blogs 1, 2.
Example: Use of Variational Inference to obtain lower-bound on the marginal likelihood
Consider a general probabilistic model with observations $x$, latent variables $z$ over which we must marginalize, and model parameters $θ$. We introduce an approximate posterior distribution for the latent variables $q_{\phi}(z\vert x)$ and follow the variational principle (Jordan et al., 1999) to obtain a bound on the marginal likelihood:
where we have used Jensen’s inequality $ \left(f (\mathbb{E}[x]) \geq \mathbb{E} [f(x)]\right) $, when $f(\cdot)$ is concave, $p_θ (x\vert z)$ is a likelihood function and $p(z)$ is a prior over the latent variables. This bound is often referred to as the negative free energy $\mathcal{F}$ or as the evidence lower bound (ELBO). It consists of two terms: the first is the KL-divergence between the approximate posterior and the prior distribution (which acts as a regularizer), and the second is a reconstruction error. This bound provides a unified objective function for optimization of both the parameters $θ$ and $\phi$ of the model and variational approximation, respectively.
Current best practice in variational inference performs this optimization using mini-batches and stochastic gradient descent, which is what allows variational inference to be scaled to problems with very large data sets. There are two problems that must be addressed to successfully use the variational approach:
- efficient computation of the derivatives of the expected log-likelihood . This is tackled in the paper Auto-encoding Variational Bayes (Kingma & Welling, 2014)
- choosing the richest, computationally-feasible approximate posterior distribution $q(·)$. This is tackled in the paper Variational Inference of Normalizing Flows (Rezende & Shakir, 2015).

T-Mobile Chief Executive Legere to step down next year
T-Mobile US Inc said on Monday Chief Executive Officer John Legere will step down on April 30 and Chief Operating Officer Mike Sievert will take over.
REUTERS: T-Mobile US Inc said on Monday Chief Executive Officer John Legere will step down on April 30 and Chief Operating Officer Mike Sievert will take over.
The third largest U.S. wireless carrier is currently locked in a lengthy battle to close its merger with smaller carrier Sprint Corp .
WeWork, which has started a search for a new chief executive following the departure of co-founder Adam Neumann, has been in talks Legere, Reuters and other media outlets reported last week.
"I'm not going anywhere soon," Legere said in a tweet https://twitter.com/JohnLegere/status/1196421937456500736 on Monday.
"This is all part of a multi-year plan and until April 30, I'll continue as CEO, focusing on a smooth transition and getting our merger with Sprint done for America."
Shares of T-Mobile fell about 2per cent in premarket trading.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED THUS FAR
I have always wondered how the internet works behind the scenes. How is it possible to simply type in a word or question, and my answer magically appear on my computer screen?
Well there is definitely a process behind it. I simply type in a question or word into my browser, which is sent to the internet, and then to the servers via HTTP. The server will then send over a file, which is magically displayed on my computer screen.
The World Wide Web is comprised of a collection of documents called Hyper Text Markup Launguage, or HTML for short.
Without these documents, the web would be non existent. These documents are made up of what you visually see (text content), how things are arranged (markup), and also links to other pages.
HTML also have tags, which is what sentences are made out of. In each sentence, there is an opening tag, the actual content, and a closing tag. Some cool tags that I am learning are bold, emphasis (or italic) and underline to name a few.
I also learned how to create a link to a page, take a look here.
Whitespace is what we use to create a new line. It can be either inline or block tags. Inline is a void tag and does not need a closing tag, it is simply meant to end a line. Block tags make invisible boxes, which allow the width and size of the text to vary.

Colette Senghor, wife of Senegal's poet-president, dies in France
Senghor sprung to international renown for his poetry and theories about Negritude - the black African experience.
Colette Senghor, the wife of Leopold Sedar Senghor, a poet and philosopher who became the first president of post-colonial Senegal, has died in France at age 93.
She died in Verson, in the western region of Normandy, at their family home, the local council said on Tuesday, expressing its "huge sadness" at her passing.
Senegalese President Macky Sall, in a tweet, paid tribute to Senghor, a "discreet woman and the wife in the background of the late President Leopold S Senghor".
Born in eastern France, Colette Senghor married Senghor in 1957, an era when mixed-race couples were extremely rare or taboo.
At that time, he was a socialist legislator in colonial-era Senegal who had sprung to international renown for his poetry and ground-breaking theories about "Negritude" - the black African experience.
In 1960, when Senegal gained independence from France, he became its first president and even drafted the national anthem.
He was a French-educated Roman Catholic at the head of the predominantly Muslim nation and an intellectual in a country that was extremely poor and rural, yet he was hugely popular.
He was re-elected as president in 1963 and stayed at the helm until 1980, when he became the first African to leave the post voluntarily.
He retired to France, eventually dying in 2001 at age 95.
Colette Senghor was as well known for her elegance and discretion.
"[She] always looked over her husband and supported him in his political life and was the source of his inspiration in his artistic life," the Verson town council said in its statement.
It said it learned of her death on Monday.
Her husband paid tribute to her in an anthology of poems called Lettres d'Hivernage (Hibernation Letters), describing her as his "muse" and "gentle companion" whom he loved at first sight.

Zoltan´s implementation of the ASC Software Quality Engineering Practices
Sandia´s ASC Quality Management Council (AQMC) developed and manages the Quality Assurance Program (QAP) for Sandia´s ASC program. The AQMC chartered the development of the Sandia National Laboratories Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Software Quality Plan, Part 1: ASC Software Quality Engineering Practices, Version 2.0 document (SAND 2006-5998) as the practical SQA guidance for projects like Zoltan. A companion document, Sandia National Laboratories Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Software Quality Plan, Part 2: Mappings for the ASC Software Quality Practices (SAND 2006-5997), shows how these practices satisfy corporate policies including CPR001.3.6, Corporate Software Engineering Excellence, and DOE/NNSA orders 414.1C and QC-1 rev 10.
The Zoltan project is committed to a program of quality improvement in compliance with the ASC Software Quality Engineering Practices document. The Zoltan Team Leader is the owner of the Zoltan quality system. Zoltan developers at Sandia or under contract to Sandia are required to follow these software development practices. The Zoltan team shall participate in all reporting processes, audits, and assessments as directed by the AQMC.
QC-1 rev 10 defines quality as "the degree to which customer requirements are met."
The Zoltan project accepts the following definition of quality: "the totality of characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs." This is Juran´s "fitness for use" definition of quality (ANSI/ASQC A8402-1994.) This superior definition of quality fully satisfies the QC-1 rev 10 definition. This definition is also more useful in a research environment where the requirements are derived from a research proposal rather than directly from customers and end users.
Critical: A defect that could lead to loss of life, significant environmental damage, or substantial financial loss.
Major: A non critical defect that significantly impacts Zoltan's fitness for use.
Minor: A (non critical, non major) defect that reasonably impacts Zoltan's fitness for use.
Incidental: Any other defect which does not reasonably reduce Zoltan's fitness for use.
Only the Zoltan team leader may authorize (certify) a release. The Zoltan team leader shall not release software with any known critical or major defects. User registration shall allow the Zoltan team to notify all Sandia and ASC users and to recall their defective software if a critical or major defect is discovered after release. The Zoltan team leader may determine that it is acceptable to release software with known minor or incidental defects.
Because of the small scale of the Zoltan Project, only a few, simple tools are required for use by Zoltan developers:
CVS: maintains code, documentation, meeting notes, emails, and QA program artifacts;
Purify, PureCoverage, Quantify (Rational), Valgrind, gdb: for dynamic code testing, coverage measurements, and performance analysis;
Bugzilla: tracks bugs, requests for changes, and enhancements;
Mailman: creates email lists to automatically notify users by area(s) of interest;
Makefiles: ensures proper compilation and linking for all supported platforms; and
Zoltan Test Script: runs integration, regression, release and acceptance testing.
Bug Reporting, Issue Tracking, Enhancement Requests: All of these items are now directly entered into Bugzilla by developers and users. This "process" is built into the tool. Detailed instructions for using Bugzilla are found on the Zoltan web page. Bugzilla also provides query and report features for tracking the status of entered items;.
A process is defined as a sequence of steps performed for a given purpose (IEEE Std. 610.12.) Zoltan´s other processes are defined as checklists because checklists are one of the seven fundamental quality tools. These checklists are also the primary artifact created when following a process. Currently the following processes are defined:
Development: (not currently used) defines the software development process including requirements, design, implementation, testing, reviews, and approvals;
Release: defines the release process including testing requirements and creation of the release product;
Request: defines the process of capturing user requests for new features;
Note: this process is now obsolete. Request processes in progress may continue until complete but new requests should use Bugzilla;
Requirement: the process of capturing user comments that may become requirements after review and approval;
Note: this process is now obsolete. Requirement processes in progress may continue until complete but new requirements should use Bugzilla;
Review: defines the materials reviewed prior to acceptance for Zoltan release;
Note: Developers are encouraged to use Bugzilla to enter the specific review process rather than use the Review checklist. At this time this is an trial effort and either method may be used.
Third Party Software:defines the steps required to obtain, manage, use, and test for software created outside of Zoltan and the ASC program; and
Training: defines the material a new developer must read, required skills to demonstrate and computer accounts that must be obtained.
Zoltan's software quality process checklists define how work may be performed, including process ownership, authorization to perform, activities and their sequence (when sequencing is required), process instructions, metrics, and identification of who performed each activity.
The only allowed source for process checklists is Zoltan's CVS repository in the SQA_templates directory (under Zoltan_Internal.) A Zoltan developer initiates a process by obtaining the current CVS version of the process, renaming it, and committing the renamed process checklist back into CVS in an appropriate directory on the same day. The process may continue under this committed version even if its original process is later superseded unless specifically requested by the Team Leader. After one or more activities are completed, the process checklist is updated to reflect the results and committed back to CVS (with appropriate comments.) A process is completed when all required activities are completed including reviews and approvals (as necessary), and committed to CVS. The final CVS comment should indicate that the process is complete.
The following is brief description for Zoltan developers about the Zoltan project´s implementation of the ASC Software Quality Engineering Practices (SAND 2006-5998):
PR1. Document and maintain a strategic plan.
The Zoltan web page has a direct hyperlink to the Zoltan Project Description
defining its mission and philosophy. The Zoltan project has a strong association
with the Trilinos project to share in the development of common software
engineering practices and sharing of appropriate tools and experience.
PR2. Perform a risk-based assessment, determine level of formality
and applicable practices, and obtain approvals.
The Zoltan project has an approved level of formality (medium) for its
deliverable software. Its biggest technical risk results from providing
parallel solutions to NP hard partitioning problems. Technical risks are
mitigated by collaborations within Sandia and internationally. The most
significant non-technical risk is the conflicting priorities of Zoltan
developers working on many other projects simultaneously.
PR3. Document lifecycle processes and their interdependencies, and
obtain approvals.
The Zoltan project follows the Trilinos Software Lifecycle Model
(SAND 2006-6929). It also follows the ANSI/ASQ Z1.13-1999 standard
Quality Guidelines for Research which is compatible with the research
phase in the Trilinos Lifecycle model.
PR4. Define, collect, and monitor appropriate process metrics.
The Zoltan project is committed to comply fully with the new and evolving
AQMC requirements for collecting and reporting "defect" metrics.
Other metrics determined by Zoltan´s continual process improvement process
(PR 5) will be implemented.
PR5. Periodically evaluate quality problems and implement process
improvements.
The Zoltan project has built the Deming/Shewhart process improvement
cycle PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) into all of its process checklists. This is
the most effective process improvement technique known. It is recommended
by ISO 9001:2000.
PR6. Identify stakeholders and other requirements sources.
The Zoltan project´s primary stakeholders are the ASC applications using
Zoltan including SIERRA, ACME, ALEGRA/NEVADA, XYCE, and Trilinos.
PR7. Gather and manage stakeholders´ expectations and requirements.
The Zoltan project´s primary input from ASC applications´ expectations and
requirements are via their communication of Zoltan´s role in meeting their
ASC milestones. Since Zoltan is an "enabling technology," these requirements
are broadly stated performance improvement needs. The Zoltan team actively anticipates
and develops load balancing software for the future needs of the Sandia research community
before they actually become formal requirements.
PR8. Derive, negotiate, manage, and trace requirements.
Zoltan project requirements normally derive from its funded research proposals
which state research goals. This is a normal procedure in a research
environment (see ANSI/ASQ Z1.13-1999). Periodic and final reports document
the success in meeting these research goals.
PR9. Identify and analyze risk events.
All Zoltan developers should report any new or changed risks via the zoltan-dev
email target for evaluation by the Team Lead.
PR10. Define, monitor, and implement the risk response.
The Zoltan team will create a corrective action plan whenever any condition
threatens to adversely impact the Zoltan project resources or schedule.
PR11. Create and manage the project plan.
ANSI/ASQ Z1.13-1999 states that the research proposal is equivalent to a
project plan in a research environment. The Team Leader assigns responsibilities,
deliverables, resources, and schedules in order to manage the project.
PR12. Track project performance versus project plan and implement
needed (corrective) actions.
The Team Leader periodically tracks responsibilities, deliverables, resources,
and schedules in order to manage the project.
PR13. Communicate and review design.
The Zoltan architecture is fully documented in the Zoltan Developer´s Guide.
New features are originally documented and reviewed in team discussions to
the zoltan-dev email target. Prior to release, the design documentation is
finalized in both the Zoltan Developer´s Guide and the Zoltan User´s Guide.
PR14. Create required software and product documentation.
Developers will follow the Zoltan Development Process Checklist.
PR15. Identify and track third party software products and follow
applicable agreements.
Developers will follow the Zoltan Third Party Software Process Checklist.
PR16. Identify, accept ownership, and manage the assimilation of other
software products.
Not applicable since Zoltan does not "assimilate" third party software.
PR17. Perform version control of identified software product artifacts.
All software and process artifact are under maintained CVS as early as reasonable
after their creation.
PR18. Record and track issues associated with the software product.
Developers will use Bugzilla to record and track issues.

We were introduced to the basics of ROS by designing a two-wheeled robot in URDF format, implemented a velocity control algorithm and an obstacle avoidance algorithm.
- Date: May 2020
- Author: Thomas Kimble, Chantal Gressier, Ken Pillonel
- Field of Study: Robotics, ROS, URDF, Python
- Context: EPFL Ma-2 Robotics Practicals Project
Goal
The aim of this project was to go through the basics of ROS, first by designing a two-wheeled robot, then by implementing a velocity control algorithm and finally an obstacle avoidance algorithm. It was a good exercise to learn about communication between different nodes (publishers/subscribers). The design of the robot was done in the URDF format and the navigation algorithm of the robot was implemented thanks to Gazebo plugins through a few Python scripts. We used Gazebo to visualize and test our solution.
Robot Model
Our robot model is based on the existing Thymio Robot. It has a rectangular shape with two cylindrical wheels on each side, and a sphere at the front to keep the robot level. This gives us three degrees of freedom (DOF = 3: Tx, Ty and Rx) and a mobility of M = 2.
We added three sensors, one at front of the robot and one on each side, which are used for the obstacle avoidance algorithm. We use three to allow for accurate wall following in both left and right directions. The model description was written in the URDF format through an XML file. The robot is shown below with its dimensions and the following origin points:
- MP: Main Body Link Origin
- RW: Right Wheel Joint Origin
- LW: Left Wheel Joint Origin
- S: Structural Sphere Origin
Here is a quick schematic of the robot and its dimensions (in mm) with the different origin points for the URDF links and joints:
After adding our group number to the robot as well as a few sensor plugins, we could visualise it in Rviz and Gazebo:
Velocity Control
In order to make the robot move from an initial position to a goal position, we used Gazebo’s differential drive plugin and computed the motion of the robot in a Python script. The velocity control algorithm is composed of two main controllers a PD controller for the position and another PD controller for the angle with a speed threshold.
To make the robot move, a certain trajectory is given to the robot through waypoints by subscribing to a goal position topic where the goal positions are published by the user. Once the goal is set, a control loop is responsible for publishing the appropriate velocities to the odom Topic to move the robot to the correct waypoint.
Obstacle Avoidance
We use a finite state machine to switch between waypoint navigation and obstacle detection. Navigation is done in STATE = 0 where we check for obstacles at each time step. If an obstacle is detected we start a left or right wall following algorithm to avoid the obstacle. Left obstacle contouring is done in STATE = 1, and right contouring is done in STATE = 2. The state is chosen depending on which sensor is closer to the wall. Sensor values are read by subscribing to laser_side/scan topics.
The avoidance is done in three parts and is illustrated in the figure below:
- Obstacle detected. Approach wall and left or right
- Left or right wall following
- If angle error is lower than a threshold value switch to navigation state

NAME
tiffsv - save an image from the framebuffer in a
TIFF
file (Silicon Graphics version)
SYNOPSIS
tiffsv
[
options
]
output.tif
[
x1 x2 y1 y2
]
DESCRIPTION
tiffsv
saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the
Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
By default, the image is saved with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1),
compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5),
and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
These characteristics can be overriden, or explicitly specified
with the options described below.
OPTIONS
- -b
-
Save the image as a greyscale image
as if it were processed by
tiff2bw(1).
This option is included for compatibility with the standard
scrsave(6D)
program.
- -c
-
Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file:
none
for no compression,
packbits
for PackBits compression,
jpeg
for baseline JPEG compression,
zip
for Deflate compression,
and
lzw
for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (default).
-
LZW
compression can be specified together with a
predictor
value.
A predictor value of 2 causes
each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
differencing before it is encoded; a value
of 1 forces each scanline to be encoded without differencing.
LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated
list to the ``lzw'' option; e.g.
-c lzw:2
for
LZW
compression with horizontal differencing.
- -p
-
Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data.
By default,
tiffsv
will create a new file with the data samples packed contiguously.
Specifying
-p contig
will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed
together, while
-p separate
will force samples to be written in separate planes.
- -r
-
Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data
written to the output file.
By default,
tiffsv
attempts to set the rows/strip
that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip.
NOTE
Except for the use of
TIFF,
this program is equivalent to the standard
scrsave
program.
This means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with
the standard
icut
program simply by creating a link called
scrsave,
or by creating a shell script called
scrsave
that invokes
tiffgt
with the appropriate options.
BUGS
If data are saved compressed and in separate planes, then the
rows in each strip is silently set to one to avoid limitations
in the
libtiff(3)
library.

EVITA A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 7.0 Alternative Scale: *** out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 12/25/96 (NY, LA); 1/1/97 (limited); 1/10/97 (wide) Running Length: 2:14 MPAA Classification: PG (Minor violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Pryce, Jimmy Nail Director: Alan Parker Producer: Robert Stigwood, Alan Parker, and Andrew G. Vajna Screenplay: Alan Parker and Oliver Stone Cinematography: Darius Khondji Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Tim Rice U.S. Distributor: Hollywood Pictures
As bold and dazzling a spectacle as EVITA is, it's missing a soul. This brash, glitzy, energetic entertainment has the power to hold an audience enraptured, but, at the same time, there's a sense that what we're experiencing is just candy for the eyes and ears. In its own way, EVITA is much like this past summer's blockbusters -- lots of flash and pizzazz, but very little beneath the surface. Anyone expecting more than loud music and boisterous musical numbers will be disappointed. EVITA, even more than the stage show upon which it is based, is light on characters and even lighter on historical facts.
When it first hit Broadway in 1978, the play EVITA was described as the most cinematic of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals. Despite that appellation, it has taken nearly twenty years for the story to make the stage-to-screen transition. Along the way, a number of well-known and highly respected directors, including Francis Ford Coppola, Richard Attenborough, and, most recently, Oliver Stone (who receives a screenplay credit due to Writers' Guild rules, even though none of his script has been retained), have unsuccessfully tackled the project. Finally, Alan Parker, whose previous music-laden movie credits include FAME and THE COMMITMENTS, has completed the job using an unlikely cast that includes veteran actor Jonathan Pryce, international heartthrob Antonio Banderas, and, of course, Madonna in the title role.
Only the bare facts of Evita Peron's life have been retained for the film. As in the stage musical, she is represented as an heroic figure -- sometimes vain and self-serving, but rarely harsh or manipulative. This doesn't necessarily agree with the historical record, but it makes for better cinema. Likewise, Jonathan Pryce's Juan Peron is played as far more amiable than the actual dictator who took control of Argentina during the mid-'40s.
Eva Duarte (or, as she was better known, Evita) was born in 1919, the bastard child of a man who perished when she was seven. Thirty- three years after her birth, Evita, then the wife of Argentina's President, Juan Peron, died of cancer. The film, which opens with a flash forward to Evita's funeral, takes us from the day in 1926 when she places flowers upon her father's casket to the time when thousands of mourners file past her own still form. In between, she uses an affair with a singer (Jimmy Nail) to enable a move from her family's rural home to Buenos Aires, where she eventually becomes Peron's wife. Once he takes over the country, she attempts to apply her newfound power to the task of bettering the lot of Argentina's women and lower classes.
EVITA tells Evita's story almost entirely in song (spoken lines are few and far between), making it more of an opera than a traditional musical. There are several familiar tunes (most notably, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina"), but much of the dialogue is delivered in recitatives, which occasionally seem awkward. Nevertheless, in those instances when EVITA reaches its musical stride, with a full orchestra accompanying Madonna's strong, clear voice, this movie soars. Unfortunately, in the end, it always comes back to Earth.
The production design is excellent, as one would expect from such an ambitious project. From the streets of Buenos Aires to the interior of Peron's house, the film's look is composed with near-perfect attention to detail. Crowd scenes -- and there are many -- are handled expertly. Madonna's numerous, varied costumes add a further splash of color and style to a movie whose only serious fault lies in the shallowness of its narrative.
We never learn more about EVITA's characters than is absolutely necessary. They don't become either three-dimensional or especially sympathetic. Although Madonna is an excellent singer, her emoting skills are limited. There's little depth to her Evita, and this robs the story of a portion of its power. The script is also surprisingly unambitious. EVITA concentrates on the big musical numbers while virtually ignoring the sung, connecting words that provide opportunities for character interaction and development. Jonathan Pryce (BRAZIL, CARRINGTON), who is certainly capable of giving a strong performance, is wasted. Only towards the end is he given more to do than play second fiddle to Madonna.
If there's a real surprise in EVITA, it's the strength of Antonio Banderas' performance. Playing a sort of one-man Greek chorus, he fills the role of narrator with an impossible-to-miss sardonic quality. Banderas' Che gives the film an edge, and Evita's few negative qualities come to light through his numbers. Even though Banderas doesn't have Madonna's vocal ability, he acquits himself well enough when it comes to singing, and his acting is the best that it's been since he parted ways with Pedro Almoldovar (after TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN!).
A great deal has been written about whether EVITA will be able to revive the musical genre, especially when coupled with Woody Allen's new effort, EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU. Obviously, it's impossible to give an answer now, but if this film strikes box office gold (which seems possible, with Disney plugging it so relentlessly), more musicals will follow. Hopefully, anything in the works will combine the artistry and spectacle of EVITA with a stronger story and better-defined characters. As it stands, this is solid entertainment, but the potential exists for something richer and more satisfying.
