Application Integration

Overview:

Scientific workflows are becoming more complex as ever more data and computing power becomes available to scientists.   This problem is made worse by the plethora of software tools and software versions which must be managed by scientists working to produce novel and reliable scientific results.  

To make the problem worse, infrastructure builders often have to offer their applications to users from a wide variety of backgrounds.  Power users expect rock-solid performant tools and casual users want a simple web-based graphic user interface. 

Through all of these challenges, user engagement of is key to the success of any product offering, and digital infrastructures are no exception. 

To address these challenges, this session will focus on:

1. Rapid and reproducible integration and deployment for scientific applications.
2. Proven user engagement strategies – connecting with your users.
3. Examples from the imaging and physics community where these approaches are being employed.
