• Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

  • Tools and approaches for software testing, debugging, quality assurance, and continuous integration.
  • Statistical and ensemble-based approaches for evaluating model consistency and software correctness.
  • Software design approaches and development practices for streamlining correctness and reproducibility efforts.
  • Formal methods, abstraction, and logical proof techniques for rigorous verification.
  • Verifying and validating large-scale applications running on HPC clusters, cloud computing systems, heterogeneous systems, GPUs, etc.
  • Other software correctness and reproducibility approaches for facilitating verification and validation.

• Submissions may include technical results, approaches, experiences, and opinions involving one or more of the above topics applied to:

  • Climate and weather simulation codes such as drivers, couplers, frameworks, and model components.
  • External libraries and packages used in climate and weather simulation applications.
  • Artificial intelligence techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning, applied to climate and weather software.
  • Diagnostics, post-processing, visualization tools, and libraries.
  • Packaging, environment management, version control, and porting techniques for facilitating reproducibility.
  • Other software development and approaches extensively used within the climate and weather simulation context.
