Cuneiform: A Functional Workflow Language Implementation in Erlang
summary
Cuneiform is a functional workflow language that combines black-box integration of arbitrary external tools (e.g., bioinformatics tools for next-generation sequencing) with data-parallel execution similar to systems like Spark or Pig Latin. The talk explains how Cuneiform reuses existing software while exposing data parallelism, describes the language specification written in Erlang, and outlines its architecture and Erlang-based implementation as cooperating services.
