Uncertainty Quantification in the cloud with UQCloud

Abstract

General-purpose uncertainty quantification software has become a well established requirement in modern engineering workflows. Different communities (e.g. applied maths, engineering, economics, etc.), however, generally employ diverse arrays of technologies and workflows, from computing infrastructure to programming languages. To overcome the intrinsic limitation of a single language, standalone software package, we introduce UQCloud, an OS- and programming language- independent, cloud-based version of UQLab. UQCloud follows a software-asa-service (SaaS) model, that allows anyone to take advantage of the well-established UQLab suite, without the need to adapt their computational workflows to include Matlab.
