First Workshop on Practical Reproducibility

Mon, 2 Apr 2018 16:43:38 -0600

First International Workshop on Practical Reproducible Evaluation of Computer Systems (P-RECS 2018).
June 11, 2018. In conjunction with HPDC’18.

This workshop will focus heavily on practical, actionable aspects of reproducibility in broad areas of computational science and data exploration, with special emphasis on issues in which community collaboration can be essential for adopting novel methodologies, techniques and frameworks aimed at addressing some of the challenges we face today. The workshop will bring together researchers and experts to share experiences and advance the state of the art in the reproducible evaluation of computer systems, featuring contributed papers and invited talks.

The Big Weather Web contributions to practical reproducibility have elevated Ivo Jimenez to be a recognized leader in the reproducibility community: not only was he recognized as one of the four inaugural Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellows during the Exascale Computing Project 2nd Annual Meeting earlier this year, but he was able to assemble an excellent 1st P-RECS Program Committee.

Dennis Gannon wrote a nice piece about Unidata’s recent “Modeling in the Cloud Workshop”. He mentions Big Weather Web, especially the work by Josh Hacker, John Exby, and Kate Fossell on containerizing WRF.

The USENIX ;login: magazine Winter’16 edition just came out. In it Ivo Jimenez is the first author on our article on the Popper reproducibility convention: “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants by Managing Scientific Experiments Like Software.” Much of Popper’s design was informed by insights from the Big Weather Web project.
