The 4th Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Best Practices and Experiences (WSSSPE4)

该项目将支持美国研究人员参加WSSSPE4（第四届可持续发展科学软件：最佳实践和经验研讨会），特别旨在鼓励关注多样性的早期研究人员参加。WSSSPE4研讨会是社区驱动的工作的一部分，旨在解决许多新的挑战，这些挑战对于用于学术研究和教育的可重用软件的开发、部署、维护和可持续性来说是显而易见的。这些挑战包括软件开发过程；软件的支持和维护；治理和商业模式，特别是可持续发展；软件在建立科学社区中的作用；需要软件引导科学，这是可验证的和可复制的；政策问题，如如何衡量软件影响，选择许可，或分配软件信用；以及对科学软件领域早期研究人员的教育和培养。基于2013年、2014年和2015年在SC13、SC14和NCAR成功举行的WSSSPE1-WSSSPE3会议，组织者预计在WSSSPE4会议上提交的论文将超过60篇，与会人员将达到75人左右。接受的WSSSPE4提交将作为一个特殊的集合发布在http://ceur-ws.org/上，该集合是完全索引的。该项目将支持美国研究人员参加WSSSPE4（第四届可持续发展科学软件：最佳实践和经验研讨会），特别旨在鼓励关注多样性的早期研究人员参加。WSSSPE4研讨会是社区驱动的工作的一部分，旨在解决许多新的挑战，这些挑战对于用于学术研究和教育的可重用软件的开发、部署、维护和可持续性来说是显而易见的。这些挑战包括软件开发过程；软件的支持和维护；治理和商业模式，特别是可持续发展；软件在建立科学社区中的作用；需要软件引导科学，这是可验证的和可复制的；政策问题，如如何衡量软件影响，选择许可，或分配软件信用；以及对科学软件领域早期研究人员的教育和培养。基于2013年、2014年和2015年在SC13、SC14和NCAR成功举行的WSSSPE1-WSSSPE3会议，组织者预计在WSSSPE4会议上提交的论文将超过60篇，与会人员将达到75人左右。参与者将通过正式的申请程序进行选择，其选择标准基于以下几个方面：(1)他们的出席对他们自己的研究和教育目标做出贡献的潜力；(2)对车间的潜在贡献；(3)提供多样化的与会者，优先考虑早期研究人员（如学生、博士后研究人员、早期教师）。研讨会将包括愿景和立场文件，以及闪电演讲和演示，旨在改善当今可持续的科学软件，并定义和努力实现其未来。接受的WSSSPE4提交将作为一个特殊的集合发布在http://ceur-ws.org/上，该集合是完全索引的。

This project will support the attendance at WSSSPE4 (4th Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Best Practices and Experiences) for US based researchers, particularly targeted at encouraging attendance by early stage researchers with attention to diversity. The WSSSPE4 workshop is part of a community driven effort to address the many new challenges that are evident for the development, deployment, maintenance, and sustainability of reusable software for academic research and education. These challenges include the software development process; the support and maintenance of software; governance and business models particularly for sustainability; the role of software in building science communities; the need for software to lead to science which is verifiable and reproducible; policy issues such as how to measure software impact, choose licensing, or assign software credit; and the education and nurturing of early stage researchers in scientific software. Based on successful WSSSPE1-WSSSPE3 meetings at SC13, SC14, and NCAR in 2013, 2014, and 2015, the organizers expect over 60 submitted papers and around 75 attendees at the WSSSPE4 meeting. WSSSPE4 accepted submission would be published as a special collection in http://ceur-ws.org/, which is fully indexed.

The participants will be selected using a formal application procedure, with selection criteria based around (1) the potential of their attendance to contribute towards their own research and educational goals; (2) their potential contribution to the workshop; (3) providing a diverse set of attendees with priority to early stage researchers (e.g., students, postdoctoral researchers, early stage faculty). The workshop will include vision and position papers as well as lightning talks and demos, aimed at improving sustainable scientific software today as well as defining and working towards the its future. WSSSPE4 accepted submission would be published as a special collection in http://ceur-ws.org/, which is fully indexed.
