Description
Research software is a critical issue in almost every research discipline. Creating software for research requires not only methods from the research discipline but also skills in software engineering. This time-consuming process often leaves little room to make the software accessible and usable before submitting a paper, thesis, or completing a project, resulting in the loss of valuable scientific contributions. In our hands-on workshop, we will showcase techniques to enhance the reproducibility of your research software at any project stage. Participants will learn about the benefits of containerization for computational work and how reproducible software with metadata can open up their work to the broader research community. The NFDIxCS consortium focuses on the development of a Research Data Management Container (RDMC), which involves containerizing software along with its data and context. Beyond this workshop, we will also provide insights into current discussions around metadata applications, long-term archiving, and addressing security/privacy concerns in RDMCs. While primarily designed for practitioners, this workshop is also valuable for senior scientists interested in understanding these essential processes.
This workshop is part of the Love Data Week, in which the University of Potsdam is contributing several formats on February 13. Futher details and registration: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/openscience/veranstaltungen.
