Software Engineering for Computational Science and Engineering

S oftware engineering for computational science and engineering (CSE) is a topic of increasing relevance for many scientific and engineering domains. Historically, this topic has fallen into a void among many related domains. Traditionally, software engineering (SE) research has focused more on the business/IT domain than the scientific or engineering domain. SE researchers have often made the ...

Pragmatic Software Engineering for Computational Science

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce scientific software developers to software engineering tools and techniques that will save them much blood, sweat, and tears and allow them to demonstrate the quality of their software. By introducing ideas around the software development life cycle, source code analysis, documentation, and testing, and touching on best practices, this chapter demonst...

Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering

This paper examines three ideas: First, the traditional relationship between a science, the mathematics it uses and the engineering based on it. Second, the nature of (software) computer science, which may not be a science at all, and its unusual use of mathematics. And finally, the nature of software engineering, its relationship with computer science, and its use of mathematics called ‘formal...
