About

The 2024 Improving Scientific Software Conference will be held April 15-18, 2024 in Boulder, Colorado. We will also offer a virtual registration option for those interested in remote attendance.

This year’s conference will focus on the modernization of scientific software and what that means to our community now and in the years to come. We will touch on the challenges and opportunities of modernizing software code, workflows, development, and more.

Modernizing scientific code in large and small projects

Porting codes to new architectures (e.g., accelerators, Arm CPUs…)
Utilizing machine learning

Modernizing software development practices

Adopting continuous integration and/or development in existing projects
Using code review during development

Building communities around scientific software

Democratizing software development

Improving scientific workflows

Incorporating containers into science workflows

We are also planning to adopt Jupyter Notebooks as paper proceedings for those interested in submitting. Notebooks seamlessly combine descriptions of work and process, supporting graphics, and relevant code into a self-contained and (optimally) rerunnable package.

Who is this conference geared toward?

The conference is for staff and students at research institutions, universities, and industry who are interested in learning and discussing the latest developments and practices in scientific software. Those working in the geosciences will likely find it more relevant. However, anyone who finds the agenda beneficial to them is welcome to attend even if they do not fit the category previously stated.
