[Swift-devel] Re: passing types and variables in swift

[Michael Wilde]

I'll try to push forward with this as Ben is focusing on SC tutorials today.

Andrew, lets try to make a simple model of your workflow that we can 
actually run in local mode, using mock apps.

I need to go backwards, but basically this is a parameter sweep, where 
the parameter sets have a nested loop structure. Im noty sure f Im 
asking this right (as Im in a meeting and cant read right now) but do 
you want to express the parameters in files (because the lists are long) 
or right in the source code of the workflow?  Does that question make sense?
