second WSSSPE2 keynote and agenda update

We’re pleased to announce that Neil Chue Hong will be giving the 2nd WSSSPE2 keynote (https://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe2/keynotes/#npch).

Also, we’ve now grouped the accepted papers (https://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe2/accepted-papers/) into five themes:

Exploring Sustainability
Software Development Experiences
Policy
Reproducibility & Reuse & Sharing
Code Testing & Code Review

Each of these topics will be used to form breakout groups in the 2nd and 3rd WSSSPE2 sessions (https://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe2/agenda/). These sessions will also have lightning talks, based on the accepted papers.

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans in 2 weeks!

WSSSPE2

Progress in scientific research is dependent on the quality and accessibility of software at all levels and it is now critical to address many new challenges related to the development, deployment, and maintenance of reusable software. In addition, it is essential that scientists, researchers, and students are able to learn and adopt a new set of software-related skills and methodologies.

Established researchers are already acquiring some of these skills, and in particular a specialized class of software developers is emerging in academic environments who are an integral and embedded part of successful research teams.

WSSSPE provides a forum for discussion of the challenges, including both positions and experiences, and a forum for the community to assemble and act.
