DescriptionThis BoF is for HPC community members who want to make
sharing and re-executing scientific experiments more
practical. As a starting point, we will introduce the
Popper Protocol (http://falsifiable.us), a set of
guidelines for managing scientific explorations as
software projects. We will moderate discussions, and
conduct a survey among attendants on tools/services that
can be used to “Popperize” scientific explorations, i.e.
fully automate/document experiments by scripting all
aspects of their execution/analysis and version-control
their evolution using DevOps tools. Our goal: create a
list of tool-chain templates that domain-specific
communities can use to incentivize researchers/students
to generate easily re-executable/shareable
experiments.
