Science, containerized: Integrating provenance and compute environments with the Whole Tale

Published in American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2018, 2018

The Whole Tale project bridges this gap by enabling tight integration between analyses and the generation of provenance information and an executable description of the computational environment.

Application of BagIt-serialized research object bundles for packaging and re-execution of computational analyses

Published in 2019 15th International Conference on eScience (eScience), 2019

In this paper we describe our experience adopting the Research Object Bundle (RO-Bundle) format with BagIt serialization (BagIt-RO) for the design and implementation of “tales” in the Whole Tale platform.

Detailed Provenance Metadata from Statistical Analysis Software:{TaPP} Applications Track

Published in 13th International Workshop on Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP 2021), 2021

We have created a set of tools for automating the extraction of fine-grained provenance from statistical analysis software used for data management. Our tools create metadata about steps within programs and variables (columns) within data-frames in a way consistent with the ProvONE extension of the PROV model.

villager: A framework for designing and executing agent-based models in R

Published in Journal of Open Source Software, 2022

Villager is an agent-based modeling framework: it prescribes a convention and interface for modelers to create and run agent-based models (ABM). The framework is aimed at researchers in the social sciences who are focused on modeling human populations.
