Reproducibility Papers at eScience 2016

CCL students presented two papers at the IEEE 12th International Conference on eScience on the theme of reproducibility in computational science:

• Haiyan Meng presented Conducting Reproducible Research with Umbrella: Tracking, Creating, and Preserving Execution Environments , which describes how the Umbrella framework  is used to create a precise specification of computational environment, software, and data for reproducible execution for epidemiology and high energy physics codes.
• Peter Ivie presented PRUNE: A Preserving Run Environment for Reproducible Computing which describes PRUNE , a workflow system that tracks both data and executions in a way that can be compactly named and shared.  This allows one to uniquely identify an execution in a way that others can track the complete provenance, or re-execute it if desired.

Congrads to Haiyan for winning a Best of Conference award for her paper:
