The 2nd Workshop on Sustainable Software: Best Practices and Experiences (WSSSPE 2)

WSSSPE 2研讨会是社区推动的努力的一部分，目的是解决可重复使用的学术研究和教育软件的开发、部署和维护面临的许多新挑战。这些挑战包括软件开发过程、对软件的支持和维护、特别是在可持续性方面的治理和商业模式、软件在建立科学界中的作用、需要软件导致可验证和可复制的科学、如何衡量软件的影响、选择许可或分配软件信用等政策问题，以及科学软件的早期研究人员的教育和培养。该研讨会是在2013年11月在丹佛举行的SC13会议上成功举办的WSSSPE 1会议的基础上举办的；组织者预计将于2014年11月在新奥尔良SC14举行的WSSSPE 2会议上提交超过60篇论文和约150名与会者。与WSSSPE 1一样，WSSSPE 2将为社区提供一个开放和充满活力的论坛，以讨论上述领域的经验和方法。该提案要求为美国研究人员出席WSSSPE 2提供资金支持，特别是为了鼓励关注多样性的早期研究人员出席。

The WSSSPE 2 workshop is part of a community driven effort to address the many new challenges facing development, deployment and maintenance 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. The workshop is building upon a successful WSSSPE 1 meeting at SC13 in Denver in November 2013; the organizers expect over 60 submitted papers and around 150 attendees at the WSSSPE 2 meeting that is anticipated to be held at SC14 in New Orleans in November 2014. As with WSSSPE 1, WSSSPE 2 will provide an open and dynamic forum for the community to discuss experiences and approaches in the areas listed above. This proposal requests funds to support attendance at WSSSPE 2 for US based researchers, particularly targeted at encouraging attendance by early stage researchers with attention to diversity.
