A general overview of the Common Workflow Language and its use in bioinformatics
The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is a specification for describing analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, from workstations to cluster, cloud, and high performance computing environments. CWL is designed to meet the needs of data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Astronomy, Physics, and Chemistry. CWL is developed by an informal, multi-vendor working group consisting of organisations and individuals aiming to enable scientists to share data analysis workflows.
Michael R. Crusoe is a Community Engineer and co-founder of the CWL Project and will present a seminar: A general overview of the Common Workflow Language and its use in bioinformatics.
When: 12:00-1:00pm Thu 11 May 2017 (no registration required)
Where: FW Jones Theatre, Level 3, Medical Building, University of Melbourne
