Week 11

(August 07, 2025 - August 13, 2025)

Overview​

This week focused on completing the UI integration of Atarashi within FOSSology and refining its configuration workflow. The agent is now being triggered seamlessly from the UI using the scheduler, ensuring that users can run Atarashi directly from the FOSSology interface.

Development Progress​

  • Completed the Atarashi UI integration with FOSSology.
  • Finalized the configuration setup in atarashi.conf.
  • Verified that the agent can be triggered end-to-end from the UI via scheduler.
  • Conducted extensive testing on different file types.
  • Identified two performance bottlenecks:
    1. Database transactions were expensive and slowed down processing.
    2. The algorithms themselves are inherently computationally heavy, requiring exploration of faster alternatives such as Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH).

Attendees​

Meeting​

  • Reviewed testing results with mentors.
  • Discussed short-term optimizations (DB-level improvements) vs. long-term solutions (rethinking algorithmic complexity).
  • Consensus: address DB transaction overhead first, while keeping algorithmic improvements as a future direction.

Status​

  • UI integration completed.
  • Agent fully schedulable and triggerable from FOSSology UI.
  • Performance issues identified and documented.

Next Steps​

  • Optimize DB transactions via bulk operations.
  • Introduce caching to reduce redundant writes.
  • Investigate feasibility of LSH-based optimizations for longer-term improvements.
