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WSSSPE 4（第四届可持续科学软件研讨会：最佳实践和经验），特别是鼓励关注多样性的早期研究人员参加。WSSSPE 4研讨会是社区驱动的努力的一部分，旨在解决学术研究和教育可重用软件的开发，部署，维护和可持续性方面的许多新挑战。这些挑战包括软件开发过程;软件的支持和维护;特别是可持续性的治理和商业模式;软件在建设科学界中的作用;软件需要导致可验证和可复制的科学;政策问题，如如何衡量软件影响，选择许可证或分配软件信贷;以及科学软件早期研究人员的教育和培养。基于2013年、2014年和2015年在SC 13、SC 14和NCAR成功举行的WSSSPE 1-WSSSPE 3会议，组织者预计WSSSPE 4会议将有60多篇论文提交，约75名与会者。WSSSPE 4接受的意见书将在http：//ceur-ws.org/上作为一个特别汇编出版，该汇编有完整的索引。该项目将支持美国研究人员参加WSSSPE 4（第四届可持续科学软件研讨会：最佳实践和经验），特别是鼓励关注多样性的早期研究人员参加。WSSSPE 4研讨会是社区驱动的努力的一部分，旨在解决学术研究和教育可重用软件的开发，部署，维护和可持续性方面的许多新挑战。这些挑战包括软件开发过程;软件的支持和维护;特别是可持续性的治理和商业模式;软件在建设科学界中的作用;软件需要导致可验证和可复制的科学;政策问题，如如何衡量软件影响，选择许可证或分配软件信贷;以及科学软件早期研究人员的教育和培养。基于2013年、2014年和2015年在SC 13、SC 14和NCAR成功举行的WSSSPE 1-WSSSPE 3会议，组织者预计WSSSPE 4会议将有60多篇论文提交，约75名与会者。参与者将使用正式的申请程序进行选择，选择标准基于（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）他们对研讨会的潜在贡献;（3）为早期研究人员提供多样化的与会者（例如，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会谈和演示，旨在改善当今的可持续科学软件，并定义和努力实现其未来。WSSSPE 4接受的意见书将在http：//ceur-ws.org/上作为一个特别汇编出版，该汇编有完整的索引。

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.
