7. Items from
Participants. 
Taras: Is there
an R library or other external for orchestrating large scale STEM simulations
on server?
This can be/has
been done but the exact implementation depends on the specific use case.
The STEM5 plan that Ahmad is workin on would simplify this type of orchestration.
