Question about ADIOS2 Campaign Management

[xl-tian]

In the documentation for campaign management, it says that it is used for collecting basic information and metadata about a collection of ADIOS2 output files, from a single application run or multiple runs. The campaign management archive file keeps tracks of the directories, and the datasets in each directory like this:

$ adios2_campaign_manager.py info  demoproject/frontier_gray-scott_100
info archive
ADIOS Campaign Archive, version 1.0, created on 2024-04-01 10:44:11.644942
hostname = OLCF   longhostname = frontier.olcf.ornl.gov
    dir = /lustre/orion/csc143/proj-shared/demo/gray-scott
        dataset = ckpt.bp     created on 2024-04-01 10:38:19
        dataset = gs.bp     created on 2024-04-01 10:38:17
        dataset = pdf.bp     created on 2024-04-01 10:38:08

Are there plans to add more "structure" to the datasets managed by the campaign management archive file? For example, a campaign may be multiple runs of the same applications with different parameters, or it may be a controlled experiment, etc. The campaign management file could reflect the nature of the scientific campaign being conducted.

I am a graduate student at University of Maryland College Park. I learned about ADIOS2 from work by a previous student. I am very interested in this topic, and I am wondering if there is any good research question to work on. Thanks!!
