As hardware continues to become yet more diverse, it is increasingly +necessary to be able to effectively make use of remote computing resources. Remote +computing alongside parallel and distributed computing is now the “norm” rather than a +specialized use case for only a few power users. RSEs are faced with the challenge of easily, +securely, and scalably making use of such resources, in applications, workflows, and in building +gateways, portals and new services. This tutorial will highlight the changing computing +landscape and illustrate methods to more effectively make use of remote computing resources. +It will help attendees think about how to decompose applications into smaller computation units +and consider possibilities to execute these components in the location in which it is most suited, +for example, near data, where specialized resources are available, where environments exist, +where allocations are available, etc. + +------ + +## Rapid Prototyping for a Usable React-based Web Application with STRUDEL + +_Rajshree Deshmukh, Cody O'Donnell, Lavanya Ramakrishnan_ + +This tutorial will be a hands-on introduction to web application development using STRUDEL, an open source project making it easier for RSEs and domain scientists to build usable user +interfaces (UIs). Attendees will learn how to go from a UI need, to identifying a Task Flow +template, and bootstrapping a React-based web UI using STRUDEL. Attendees will get guided +experience with the STRUDEL toolkit which includes modern web development libraries such as React and Material UI Components. + +Usable UIs are a critical need for many research projects. STRUDEL enables developers to +rapidly prototype usable scientific UIs through a simple template-driven system. The RSE +Conference is an ideal venue to introduce these tools because they are designed specifically for +scientific projects and target a broad range of people involved in web application development. + +------ + +## Leveraging Django Views and Permissions at Object-Level: The gist of an envisioned solution for managing agricultural datasets + +_Diego Menéndez and Danying Shao_ + +Web applications are increasingly adopted in the research community, e.g. for data collection, +information dissemination and workflow management. Django is a Python-based open-sourced +web framework that encourages rapid development by providing an automatic admin interface, +built-in views and forms. This Django tutorial is based on a simplified version of a real-life, +science-related project, that limits access to datasets only to the research group that collected +them. A data owner would be able to supply all necessary metadata and choose an embargo +period in which the data only has limited access. The tutorial will guide RSEs to create a web +application from scratch and show how to take advantage of Django’s generic views. In addition +to Django’s class-level permissions, we will demonstrate an implementation of permissions at +the object level using the django-guardian package. +Slides accompanying the code will illustrate the project under development with Use Cases +as well as a conceptual class diagram and other artifacts. + +------ + +## Research Data Automation with Globus Flows and Globus Compute + +_Lee Liming and Steve Turoscy_ + +This tutorial equips Research Software Engineers (RSEs) to automate research data processes +using Globus Compute and Globus Flows : two parts of the Globus Platform. +Globus Compute enables RSEs to securely execute Python functions on remote computers, +including campus, cloud, and national-scale systems. Globus Flows provides secure, managed +automation of complex workflows. Together, Globus Compute and Flows enable RSEs to +construct data processing pipelines that are reliably managed and executed by Globus. + +------ + +## GitHub Actions for Scientific Data Workflows + +_Valentina Staneva_ + +In this tutorial we will introduce Github Actions to scientific programmers as a tool for lightweight +automation of scientific data workflows. We will demonstrate that GitHub Actions are not just a +tool for software testing, but can be used in various ways to improve the reproducibility and +impact of scientific analysis. Through a sequence of examples, we will demonstrate some of +Github Actions' applications to scientific workflows, such as scheduled deployment of algorithms +to public data streams, updating visualizations based on new data, processing large datasets, +model versioning, etc. The goal is that participants will leave with their own ideas of how to +integrate Github Actions in their own work. + +------ + +## Overview of GIS Open Source Software Ecosystem and Theory + +_Dennis Milechin_ + +Researchers are finding spatial-analysis as a valuable tool to answer new research questions +that were not considered before. This is made possible because many of the open source +spatial analysis tools (GIS Software) are getting easier to use and often provide tools to +visualize the data in exciting interactive mapping environments. As a Research Software +Engineer, providing support and troubleshooting errors associated with these GIS tools is not +always easy. When using a search engine to find a solution, one will encounter GIS terminology +in documentation and community forums. This terminology will refer to some fundamental +aspects of GIS theory or components of GIS libraries/software that is common knowledge +among the GIS community. This tutorial aims to provide a stepping stone to acquiring this +fundamental GIS knowledge. diff --git a/pages/program/program.md b/pages/program/program.md index 77a1123..be079e7 100644 --- a/pages/program/program.md +++ b/pages/program/program.md @@ -10,4 +10,5 @@ set_last_modified: true ## Accepted Submissions - [Birds of a Feather]({{ site.baseurl }}/program/bofs/) +- [Tutorials]({{ site.baseurl}}/program/tutorials/) - [Workshops]({{ site.baseurl }}/program/workshops/)
