Improving Scientific Software

March 22 - March 26, 2021

The 2021 annual SEA’s Improving Scientific Software conference will take place online from Monday March 22th to Friday March 26th. The conference will be virtual. The registration is FREE!

PROGRAM DETAILS

We are soliciting talks, tutorials and papers (submission deadline: January 2021) on Improving Scientific Software related to any of the following. Any of the broad topics could be a workshop if we get (or can solicit) enough submissions.

• Influence of computer architecture on scientific software design, including but not limited to:

• Modern architectures (such as GPU, ARM, etc)

• Post-modern architectures (such as Quantum Computing, Neuromorphic, etc)

• Extreme Heterogeneity (intra-node and inter-system)

• Edge computing

• Communication/computation overlap

• Performance, Portability & Productivity
  
  

• Modern tools for:

• Data Analysis, Processing and Visualization

• Scientific Workflows: Purpose and Product Review.
  
  

• Best practices for software engineering in scientific disciplines, such as:

• Peer code review

• Automated Testing 

• Continuous Integration
  
  

• Machine learning  for Earth Science and other Scientific Disciplines

• Containers in scientific software

• Leveraging Cloud Computing Resources for HPC Development and Operations

Papers will be peer-reviewed and published as proceedings in the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series. Only papers presented through an oral talk at the conference will be considered for publication, but talks may or may not have an accompanying paper.

Notification of accepted talks will be within two weeks of the submission deadline. Accepted paper notification has not yet been determined. Early registration ends in early March, 2021.
