I gave a talk at the Interface Symposium on reproducible research in practice. I went first in the session, so the slides have a bit more background and philosophy. It was a great session; one of Jon Claerbout's colleagues spoke, Sergey Fomel, a founding author of Madagascar; Sorin Mitran from UNC Chapel Hill talked about reproducible research using virtual machines. Here is the Interface 2011 program. Here are my slides: shotwell-interface-2011.pdf
By the way, the symposium is sponsored by SAS and held on the SAS campus, in Cary, NC. I accidentally met John Sall at a mixer, and was apparently the only one who didn't know that he co-founded SAS! 🙂
Nice slides!
I didn't see it in these, so I hope someone in the session mentioned SASweave (http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~rlenth/SASweave/) and Statweave (http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~rlenth/StatWeave/), either of which will add SAS weaving capabilities to Sweave. Statweave also can weave Stata files. What's especially great about these things is that they can merge code and output from SAS and R (and Stata) into a single document.
