The National e-Infrastructure for Social Simulation is a JISC-funded project to undertake a coordinated programme of producing services and furthering uptake through community engagement to create a sustainable, long-term platform for social simulation with potential for major strategic impact, both in the UK and internationally. The project involves Leeds University
, Manchester University (including NCeSS), Stirling University, Glasgow University, UCL, Southampton University, STFC Daresbury Laboratory.
Within the project, the Taverna team are working on:
- the integration of the Taverna functionality into a portal, i.e. providing JSR 168 compliant components that provide access to enactment, management, monitoring and creation of workflows.
- the re-purposing of services from myExperiment, facilitating their integration into a portal. An important focus will be the incorporation of social networking functionality to provide extended archiving and documentation capability for social simulations.
