The integration of the ICCAT-VPA algorithm on the Statistical Manager (SM) was successful.
An algorithm is available on the SM development web interface under the "Stock Assessment" category: https://dev.d4science.org/group/devvre/sm
The algorithm accepts 5 input files plus other parameters. The output is a zip file containing all the output files produced by the R+Fortran process.
The files should be uploaded on the Statistical Manager data space in order to be used in the experiments. Later, they can be saved on the Workspace (along with the output).
The process is executed by remote Cloud computing machines (Worker nodes). This means that extending it to process a large set of experiments in parallel fashion is straightforward.
Last but not least, here is a video demonstrating the complete process: files uploading, experiment execution, saving data on the Workspace, sharing and publishing data: http://goo.gl/AL01TB
Enhancements and modifications will come after IRD will have provided feedback.
