WMT 1.0 release
WMT 1.0
The CSDMS Integration Facility is happy to announce the release of version 1.0 of the CSDMS Web Modeling Tool, WMT.
WMT is a web application that provides an Ajax client-side graphical interface and a RESTful server-side database and API that allows users, from a web browser on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer, to build and run coupled surface dynamics models on a supercomputer.
With WMT, users can:
- Design a model from a set of components
- Edit component parameters
- Save models to a web-accessible server
- Share saved models with the community
- Submit runs to an HPC system
- Download simulation results
WMT is an MIT-licensed open source application, built entirely with open source software (Python, SQLite, Java, and Javascript). The WMT source code is freely available on GitHub (see links below). We actively encourage CSDMS members to contribute to the development of WMT by forking and cloning its GitHub repositories, then sending pull requests with improvements back to the CSDMS IF.
New/improved features
Since the introduction of a pre-release version of WMT at the 2014 CSDMS Annual Meeting [link to presentation?], the CSDMS IF has added new features and tweaked some existing behaviors.
