How do we get from here to there? 5PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF
1. Use the gravity of data 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
Increasingly large data collections
1000 Genomes Project: 200Tb
Challenging to obtain and manage
Expensive to experiment
Large barrier to reproducibility
Data size will increase
Data integration will increase
Move data to the users
Move data to the users X
Move tools to the data
Place data where it can consumed by tools
Place tools where they can access data
None
None
None
Canonical source
None
More data, more users, more uses, more locations
Cost and complexity
Cost and complexity kill reproducibility

2. Ease of use is a pre-requisite 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF
http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/10/getting_users_p.html
Help overcome the suck threshold
Easy to embrace and extend
Choose the right abstraction for the user

Seven Deadly sins of Bioinformatics: http://www.slideshare.net/dullhunk/the-seven-deadly-sins-of-bioinformatics
Infonauts are hackers
They have their own way of working
The ‘Big Red Button’
Fire and forget reproduction is a good first step, but
limits longer term value.
Monolithic, one-stop-shop
Work well for intended purpose
Challenging to install, dependency heavy
Inflexible
Embrace infonauts as hackers
Small things. Loosely coupled.
Easier to reuse
Easier to integrate
Scale out
Cancer drug discovery: 50,000 cores < $1000 an hour Schrödinger
and CycleServer
4. Build for collaboration 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
Workflows are memes
Reproduction is just the first step
Bill of materials: code, data, configuration, infrastructure
Full definition for reproduction
Utility computing provides a playground for data science
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +

Package, automate, contribute.
Utility platform provides scale for production runs
5. Provenance is a first class object 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF
Versioning becomes really important
Especially in an active community
Doubly so with loosely coupled tools
Provenance metadata is a first class entity
Distributed provenance
5PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
Remove constraints 5PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
