Public Access Submission System
Mission
Key Achievements
The PASS software development team recently completed a full rebuild of the PASS system, which included the replacement of the primary data stores, creation of a new API, and significant refactoring of the entire codebase to utilize the new system core. During this transition, the team also created an automated build and deployment pipeline and defined a monthly release cadence that has remained consistent and predictable over the past 10 release cycles. This new system is currently operating in production at JHU.
A community is beginning to be developed around PASS through the creation of a pilot working group that is meeting regularly through the Fall of 2023 to share requirements and needs that will lead to software updates to enable PASS to be deployed at a broad range of institutions.
