Lecture Hall (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology)

3. OSS in Climate Modelling, Introducing a Software Policy at an MPI (onsite)

Reinhard Budich (MPI for Meteorology), Maximilian Funk (MPI for Meteorology)

5/13/22, 11:05 AM

onsite

The Climate Model „ICON“ has been developed at MPI for Meteorology for climate and weather
research.
The model consist of approx. 500 k lines of (much legacy) code developed by 100s of people
across the world and is under constant change due to porting to the most modern HPC
architectures. Code owner are 4 institutions: MPI-M, DWD, KIT and DKRZ
These institutions had been developing the...

16. Good Practices for Documenting Copyright and License Information in your Software (onsite)

Tobias Schlauch (DLR)

5/13/22, 11:30 AM

onsite

After you have clarified the target license of your software, you need to ensure that this information is properly documented.
But what aspects do you need to consider and how can you achieve it in an efficient way?
In this talk we discuss minimum practices for documenting copyright and license information for software and show practical examples.
Particularly, we introduce REUSE Software...

17. Data management for heterogeneous research environments with CaosDB -- Experiences from an MPDL Open Source development project (onsite)

Daniel Hornung (IndiScale), Florian Spreckelsen (IndiScale GmbH), Freija Nordsiek (MPI for Dynamics and Self-Organization)

5/13/22, 11:55 AM

onsite

Experimental and theoretical scientists in the turbulence department at the MPI-DS in Göttingen produce a large variety of heterogeneous data and analyze it in a number of different environments. In an MPDL project, the open source research data management software CaosDB was enhanced to meet these needs and hopefully those of other research groups as well.

We will show the results of this...

30. Developing a software platform for a systems’study of human history (remote)

Ricardo Fernandes (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena, Germany)

5/13/22, 12:15 PM

remote

Pandemics, war, inequality, environmental and climatic degradation, identitarian conflicts, and the rise of extreme political movements are not isolated phaenomena but rather intertwined in ways often difficult to detect. This reminds us that human societies are complex dynamical systems and themselves part of a broader human-environmental system or ...

26. Managing data at a small-sized sequencing facility (onsite)

Dr Ilja Bezrukov (MPI Biology)

5/13/22, 12:35 PM

onsite

24. StudyDB — Key Concepts (remote)

Stefan Vollmar (MPI Stoffwechselforschung)

5/13/22, 12:55 PM

remote

Our StudyDB inherits a lot of functionality from previous Django development efforts. However, StudyDB faces some additional challenges as it is intended for data collection in the context of translational human studies (empirical and prospective research, clinical trials) and »electronic« questionnaires (interfacing with and processing data from our LimeSurvey server).

We would like to...

23. FAIRness of the mathematical research-data repository MathRepo (remote)

Christiane Görgen (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences)

5/13/22, 1:15 PM

remote

MathRepo, located at https://mathrepo.mis.mpg.de, is an online repository for mathematical research data, in particular for code, software, and teaching material. In this talk I will discuss its current content, the role software plays in mathematical research, and future improvements of the repository regarding the FAIR principles.
