CSE Complete: R&D for Productivity Improvement

Poster presented at SIAM CSE17 PP108 Minisymposterium: Software Productivity and Sustainability for CSE and Data Science<div><br></div><div><b>Abstract: </b>Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) is about delivering valuable scientific results. CSE activities are meaningful only to the extent they deliver these results. At the same time, certain practices, tools and processes, while not directly about producing CSE results, actually improve our ability to deliver results over a sufficiently long span of time.</div><p> In this poster we discuss efforts in the IDEAS Scientific Software Project that are intended to improve the overall effectiveness of CSE efforts. IDEAS is focused on R&D in new productivity improvements for CSE software, including establishing a scientific software ecosystem (xSDK) and creating, providing and demonstrating the value of content that can be used by CSE software teams to improve their software efforts. </p><p><br>
