Abstract:

Workspace is a publicly available scientific workflow and application development platform developed and owned by CSIRO. Workspace provides a number of features designed to help build commercial software that are not typically provided by scientific workflow systems. Workspace is designed to address two specific usage scenarios:

Users who want to create and share scientific workflows in one coherent, easy to use environment where much of the “heavy lifting” has already been developed and proven over a number of years.
To aid researchers in the swift deployment and, if applicable, commercialisation of research software IP

This presentation will look at some of the improvements made to Workspace in release 6.0, as well as some of the ongoing project work necessitating these improvements.
