چکیده

The development of software has become critical to progress in many important scientific and engineering fields. In general, the use of business/IT software engineering practices in these fields is relatively low. This paper describes the results of a survey of Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) developers that analyzed the current state of software engineering in the CSE community. Specifically, we examined four important CSE software development problems and the use of software engineering practices that should help address those problems. The results showed that in general, CSE developers are not using the software engineering practices that would most help those development problems as frequently as they could be.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
