Abstract/Description

When trying to find the right software for scientific research, one may have to comb through the internet to acquire a suitable tool. Much of the scientific software online is in mostly unknown web pages where the only way to find the software is to already know about it, be told about it, or find the software by pure chance. Even worse, with few verification systems in place they may try a new program only for it to turn out to be malware. The search for the right software takes time away from the scientists, slowing the overall pace of scientific innovation. Plasma Software Distribution, a web application, intends to remove much of the busywork of finding the software, allowing scientists to do more of the work that improves lives.
