Introduction
At this HWSA workshop, ADACS will be delivering two sessions:
- “Big data handling for reproducible workflows” (Sections 1-3) will be delivered in the first session Friday Afternoon from 1:30-3:30.
- “Workflows and reproducibility in practice” (Section 4) will be delivered on Saturday morning from 11:30-12:30.
Throughout these sessions we will be working in small groups of 3-5 people. Within your groups you’ll often be asked to discuss a topic, summarize your answers, and then use Wooclap or a shared GoogleDoc to share your answers with the class.
Challenge
Form into groups of around 4 people, making sure that you have at least one person in your group that you haven’t worked with before.
Once you have formed a group, everyone should give a 15 second intro to the group.
