Abstract

This research proposal aims at investigating how to track and analyze the evolution of computational experiments, as scientists iteratively design, execute, share, and reuse their data analysis workflows.This will allow the analysis and comparison of workflow versions and how different workflow executions relate to each other. Our ultimate goal is to foster knowledge capture, reuse and understandability of experiments.We will base our approach taking advantage of (database) versioning and provenance models. (AU)
