This is the DOI link to the poster the BWW Team recently submitted to the NSF SI2 workshop earlier this year (which I wasn’t able to attend due to inclement weather).

The combination of these > technologies is used to create three “nuclei” (also known as crystallization > points), pieces of technology that are easily shareable, have the ability to > grow and improve over time, and ensure buy-in from researchers and students. > They are: (1) a large ensemble distributed over 7 universities, (2) a common > storage, linking, and cataloging methodology, and (3) a collection of > versioned, community-specific software containers that can be easily deployed > anywhere. The purpose of these nuclei is to improve reproducibility in > education and research, availability of intermediate results, and ability to > quickly adopt new technologies.
