Project Outputs


The project's main output will be Kepler "actors", with documentation.
These will be hosted on Github, with dissemination: principally through peer-reviewed publications.
However our chief contribution will be promoting the conceptual approach: using a scientific workflow system of any sort.

Key Factors


Scientists will use our systems and tools if they support data acquisition, data management and data analysis that is faster, more reliable, more transparent and better documented than their current methods.
Our goal is that other researchers than just ourselves will publish peer-reviewed papers that acknowledge our tools, so that they become a recognised and accepted contribution towork in the relevant disciplines.

Target Customers

Our software tools will be used by epidemiologists, health researchers, statisticians, and other scientists whose work involves handling multiple datasets from different sources. The exemplar is research on the health impacts of extreme weather events, which requires merging meteorological, health and demographic data to permit statistical analysis of causal associations.
