Scientific software underpins a large and growing number of scientific discoveries and engineering advances. At the same time, it is a small portion of the total software produced, has little literature, or focus on improvement and community building relative to other, larger software domains. The Collegeville Workshop Series on Scientific Software provides a platform for scientific software teams and stakeholders to exchange information on the nature, challenges, and technical and cultural approaches to improve key elements of the scientific software enterprise. By soliciting white papers, posters, and tea-time themes, these workshops gather content to provide a three-day live event, plus recorded presentations and interviews that enable community members to learn from each other. The outcomes from the first two workshops, in 2019 and 2020, have provided a body of knowledge and experience that expands the size and recognition of software as an important part of the scientific enterprise. The 2021 workshop, focused on software teams, intends to further expand the conversation, and continue to build community around scientific software to improve its impact on science and engineering.

Collegeville 科学软件研讨会：回顾与展望

科学软件支撑着大量且不断增长的科学发现和工程进步。与此同时，相对于其他更大的软件领域，它只占软件总产量的一小部分，几乎没有文献，或者专注于改进和社区建设。Collegeville 科学软件研讨会系列为科学软件团队和利益相关者提供了一个平台，可以交流有关改进科学软件企业关键要素的性质、挑战以及技术和文化方法的信息。通过征集白皮书、海报和下午茶时间主题，这些研讨会收集内容以提供为期三天的现场活动，以及录制的演示和采访，使社区成员能够相互学习。2019 年和 2020 年前两次研讨会的成果，提供了大量的知识和经验，扩大了软件作为科学企业重要组成部分的规模和知名度。2021 年研讨会侧重于软件团队，旨在进一步扩大对话，并继续围绕科学软件建立社区，以提高其对科学和工程的影响。
