I would like to add some statistics to the results windows. Firstly I would like to highlight the top score among versions in the results table (or make it italic or underlined, or whatever). But to make that more useful I'd like to calculate the standard deviation of each score, then highlight any that are "close enough" to be tied for the top score. Then I'd like to do the same thing but only within those scores you select. I do it for my own benefit, but I hope candy like this makes you want to update RoboResearch and reap the benefits of my labor :). At some point I'll make a zip file and put it on sourceforge for everyone, so you don't have to deal with SVN. --[[User:Simonton|Simonton]] 15:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC) | I would like to add some statistics to the results windows.

I know how to use raw TCP/IP streams to write the proxies required to implement a networked RoboResearch, but I'm not sure that's the "best" solution. I know how to use [http://www.springframework.org/ Spring] to make remote method calls, but it does not allow callbacks for things like listeners. Does anybody know of some other technology that would be appropriate to support the kind of remote communication necessary? I think I've heard [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/basic/rmi/index.jsp RMI] can do callbacks, so that might be one possibility. [http://java.sun.com/products/jms/ JMS] might be another. I'm just not familiar enough with any of these to know their strengths and limitations. Something that supports file transfer for uploading/downloading bots would be ideal. Any thoughts/recommendations/input? --[[User:Simonton|Simonton]] 16:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC) | I know how to use raw TCP/IP streams to write the proxies required to implement a networked RoboResearch, but I'm not sure that's the "best" solution.

Showing Results
I have already talked with some robocoders about how they would like to see results in the RoboResearch GUI. So far the best design I've come up with (merging ideas from Synapse, Rednaxela, Voidious and Chase-san) would open a separate window for each challenge+challenger. It would have a table that shows live-feed results like the summary on wiki pages. That window could be expanded to show a second table underneath the first, with the scores for each season. The top table could also be expanded to include a row for each version of the challenger in the database. Whichever version is selected in the top table is the one whose seasons would be displayed in the lower table. Can I get any feedback or new ideas? --Simonton 05:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Well, apparently everyone either liked the idea or doesn't care enough to offer alternative input. The above idea has been implemented with a slight difference: the seasons are displayed in a separate window, at a button push. This they are not linked to whichever version is selected, either. --Simonton 15:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Networking Proxies
I know how to use raw TCP/IP streams to write the proxies required to implement a networked RoboResearch, but I'm not sure that's the "best" solution. I know how to use Spring to make remote method calls, but it does not allow callbacks for things like listeners. Does anybody know of some other technology that would be appropriate to support the kind of remote communication necessary? I think I've heard RMI can do callbacks, so that might be one possibility. JMS might be another. I'm just not familiar enough with any of these to know their strengths and limitations. Something that supports file transfer for uploading/downloading bots would be ideal. Any thoughts/recommendations/input? --Simonton 16:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
