Bachelor/Master Seminar: Software Engineering in Computational Intensive Applications (IN0014, IN2107, IN8901, IN4690)

 

Summary

Applications from the so-called 'Computational Domains' are becoming more and more complex, and thus have opened the door to many new possibilities but also to new challenges concerning software development. These applications are developed for simulation of scientific phenomina, engineering designs, scientific visualization and many other important problems that usually invovle enormous data set, complex modelling and calculations. High Performance Computing (HPC) is often associted with such applications to solve advanced computation problems.

 

Design, implementation, development, and maintenance of Computational Intensive Applications (CIA) differ in several ways from traditional software engineering, as the major focus is on performance over the complexity management of software applications. The main goals of CIAs are to evaluate the scientific computing approaches and generating the computation results. Therefore, most of the time and efforts are applied on how to achieve accurate and stable results while efficiently utilizing the computational power. On the other hand, the comprehensibility, maintainability, reusability and extensibility of the software remains a minor issue of concern. For this reason, it is necessary to improve the quality of the CSE research software since they have to be evolved for a long period of time to better assist the research. 

 

 In this seminar, we will discuss how to apply and adapt software engineering methodologies and tools in the domain of CIAs development. This will give an opportunity to utilize the knowledge of software engineering, to develop high quality CIAs to solve science and engineering problems.

 

The seminar language is English.
