This repository is an example of a Blox component. Blox is a modular source code management, data management and scientific workflow concept under development at the University of Chicago’s Computation Institute. Blox currently relies on the Git distributed version control system and GNU Make, but could conceivably be implemented using other source code management systems and dependency tracking utilities.
The codeset was developed by Neil Best at the University of Chicago’s Computation Institute in support of ongoing research at the Center for Robust Decision Making on Climate and Energy Policy (RDECEP). Attribution is appreciated.
