SE-CSE 2009: The second international workshop on software engineering for Computational Science and Engineering

This workshop is concerned with the development of Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) software. This software includes: 1) Scientific software applications, where the focus is on directly solving scientific problems, including, but not limited to, large parallel models/simulations of the physical world (high performance computing systems); and 2) Applications that support scientific endeavors, including, but not limited to, systems for managing and/or manipulating large amounts of data. Despite its importance in our everyday lives, the development of CS&E software has historically attracted little attention from the software engineering community. Due to significant differences in the development context, CS&E software development needs to be studied in its own right. This workshop will devote approximately equal time to presentation of position papers and to discussing topics that arise out of those presentations.
