QuakeTables Access Problems

The QuakeTables portlets are IFrames that loads URLs like http://gf19.ucs.indiana.edu:9898/public/public.jsp and others (you can pop these out in most browsers by right-clicking).

Some departmental firewalls only allow HTTP traffic over ports 80, 8080, 443, or 8443. If you get a timeout message like the one below, the problem may be that you can't reach the QuakeTables web server's port 9898.

Disloc Plot Portlet Disabled

This portlet was not compatible with the reformatted KML output, so it has been temporarily disabled. Plots can still be made through Google Maps or Google Earth.

All updates to daily and real-time RDAHMM portlets are availabel at

http://gw11.quarry.iu.teragrid.org:8080/gridsphere/gridsphere

Update to real-time RDAHMM portlet

We have changed the coloring plan of markers in the real-time RDAHMM portlet, so that now the colors describes the state change information about each station, rather than which network they belong to. Now we have three different colors: red for state change within last 2 hours, yellow for state change within last 1 day, and green for no state change within last 1 day.

We use red for last 2 hours because there is a lag between the time stamp of the real-time data and the "current" time when the data is received. For example, at 14:10pm, we might just receive a station's gps data with a time stamp of 13:05. Therefore, the evaluation results of a station always show its state change information of an hour ago or so.

In order to expose the state change information to the portlet, the real-time RDAHMM service saves this information for each network in a separate file in the same directory as the plots, so that the portlet can retrieve them with URLs.

To show which network each station belongs to, we add a hint tag to the marker of each station, witch shows its name and the name of its network.

Video making added to Daily RDAHMM

We have integrated the video making function to daily RDAHMM service and portlets.
The service will now create a new thread to make a video of the whole time period after doing RDAHMM analysis on all stations, and add an xml element into the result xml file, which gives a URL of the newly created video.

The portlet will show a link to this video, right below the link to the trace file of each day's number of stations with state changes.

Plot of state change numbers added to daily RDAHMM

A new plot function is added to the daily RDAHMM service. After doing RDAHMM analysis on all stations everyday, the service will draw a plot to display the variation of the number of stations with state changes through the whole time from 1994-1-1 to "today". We added new shell and gnuplot scripts to do this, and the service will generate a file containing the trace of the state change numbers as the input for these scripts.

On the daily RDAHMM portlet, a new tab is added to show this plot, as well as a link to the trace file, which contains the detailed information about each day's number of stations with state changes.
