Developing Scientific Computing Software. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 220
Considerable emphasis in scientific computing (SC)
software development has been placed on the software
qualities of performance and correctness. However,
other software qualities have received less
attention, such as the qualities of usability,
maintainability, testability and reusability.
Presented in this book is a survey titled 'Survey on
Developing Scientific Computing Software,' which is
apparently the first conducted to explore the
current approaches to SC software development and to
determine which qualities of SC software are in most
need of improvement.
In terms of the problems in SC software development,
a solution is proposed to improve the quality of SC
software by using SE methodologies, concretely,
using a modified Parnas' Rational Design Process
(PRDP) and the Unified Software Development Process
(USDP). To clarify the discussion of PRDP and USDP
for SC software and to help SC software
practitioners better understand how to use PRDP and
USDP in SC software, a completely documented one-
dimensional numerical integration solver (ONIS)
example is presented for both PRDP and USDP.
