Section I: Areas where traditional SE techniques have been applied to science. Section II: Areas where application of SE techniques to science problems have led to new advances in SE. Section III: Ideas coming from outside both SE and science but have relevance for the intersection of the two.

O autorze

Jeffrey Carver is an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. His research focus on improving the quality and reliability of software through the use of Empirical Software Engineering. He is an Editorial Board Member of the Empirical Software Engineering Journal, Information and Software Technology Journal, and Software Quality Journal. He regularly organizes workshops on Software Engineering for Computational Science and Engineering. Neil Chue Hong is the founding Director of the Software Sustainability Institute at the University of Edinburgh. Graduating with an MPhys in Computational Physics from the University of Edinburgh, he began his career at EPCC, becoming Project Manager there in 2003. During this time he led the Data Access and Integration projects (OGSA-DAI and DAIT), and collaborated in many e-Science projects, including the EU FP6 NextGRID project. George Thiruvathukal is a Professor at Loyola University, Chicago. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois. He attended there from 1988-1995, where he also completed the M.S. in 1990. In industry, Dr. Thiruvathukal worked as a member of the technical staff at Tellabs and R.R. Donnelley and Sons Technical (Research) Center. where he was a software development manager working in their Metromail division, which is now a part of Experian, on advanced research and development
