Description

Your first challenge was understanding the problem. Now you have an idea of how to develop a solution, but how do you get access to the resources you need to build, install, and share the software? Large companies have the money to build their own infrastructure. In this fireside chat style session, we'll discuss the best practices that the rest of us can follow. We want to hear your success stories and learn from your failures of trying to deploy or share a simulation tool or data with others.

Agenda

This session will attempt to raise and address questions regarding the platforms available for the deployment of simulations tools and data. We'll start by engaging the audience in a discussion about the resources they currently use. For each resource, we'll explore how to access the resource, how it aides in sharing and collaboration, what tools are available for building a community around your tool or data, and if it integrates well with other resources that may provide packaging, automation, and testing.

Note: this session is 1 of 4 submitted by the same group. We think that a series of meetups across multiple days will help connect with participants better, create a kind of micro-community and achieve more tangible results by the end of the weekend.

Participants

This session will be an informal conversion where participants can freely share their experiences from working with different platforms. The format will be the same whether 3, 15, or 25 people show up. We will start off the conversation with questions that encourage participants to share their current workflows and to describe the good and the bad of those workflows. Participants will be free to ask questions of each other. Along the way, we hope to address the topics listed in the agenda section for each platform we learn about.

Outcome

After attending this session, users will:

  1. Be exposed to a variety of free and paid resources that support running simulation tools and sharing data
  2. Have a better understanding of the requirements and restrictions of using different sharing platform for publishing simulation tools online
  3. Hear the pleasure and pain points of different sharing platforms from fellow users.

@hubzeroplatform - we will be in touch to chat about this in conjunction with your accepted sessions #415.
