PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMERICAL SOFTWARE
The development of good numerical software is strongly aided by the
availability of suitable programming tools, like preprocessors,
transformers, etc. At several conferences this subject matter has been
reviewed and advanced, with active contributions by WG 2.5 members:
- Conference on the Programming Environment for Development of Numerical
Software, Pasadena, California, USA, 18 - 20 October 1978. Proceedings
available in the SIGNUM Newsletter, Vol. 14 (1979, No. 1), pp. 28-117.
- Numerical Software 79, Liverpool, England, 9 - 11 April 1979. The
proceedings edited by M. A. Hennel and L. M. Delves are available from
Academic Press as "Production and Assessment of Numerical Software",
London 1980.
- Conference on the Computing Environment for Mathematical Software,
Pasadena, California, USA, 29 - 31 July 1981. The proceedings are
available as JPL Publication 81-67 and in the SIGNUM Newsletter,
Special Issue, October 1981.
- International Seminar on Problems and Methodologies in Mathematical
Software Production, Sorrento, Italy, 3 - 8 November 1980. Proceedings
edited by P. C. Messina and A. Murli available as Vol. 142 of
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (1982).
- International Conference on Tools, Methods and Languages for Scientific
and Engineering Computation, Paris, France, 17 - 19 May 1983. Organized
by INRIA and SIGNUM, proceedings available.
- Working Conference on "Programming Environments for High-Level Scientific Problem Solving",
23 - 27 September 1991 in Karlsruhe, Germany. The proceedings
edited by P. W. Gaffney and E. N. Houstis has appeared in the IFIP series of
North-Holland, Amsterdam 1992. ISBN-0-444-89176-5.
Several group members were active in the NSF supported TOOLPACK project
to produce a systematized collection of software tools to facilitate
the development and maintenance of Fortran programs.
