Abstract:

Progress in scientific research is dependent on the quality and
accessibility of research software at all levels. It
is now critical to address many new challenges related to the development,
deployment, maintenance, and
sustainability of open-use research software: the software upon which
specific research results rely.  Open-use
software means that the software is widely accessible (whether open source,
shareware, or commercial).
Research software means that the choice of software is essential to
specific research results; using different
software could produce different results.

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 these
challenges, including both positions and experiences, and a forum for the
community to assemble and act.

WSSSPE4 will consist of two separate tracks with some joint sessions:

Track 1 =E2=80=93 Building a sustainable future for open-use research softw=
are has
the goals of defining a vision of the
future of open-use research software, and in the workshop, initiating the
activities that are needed to get there.
The idea of this track is to first think about where we want to be 5 to 10
years from now, without being too
concerned with where we are today, and then to determine how we can move to
this future.

Track 2 =E2=80=93 Practices & experiences in sustainable scientific softwar=
e has
the goal of improving the quality of
today=E2=80=99s research software and the experiences of its developers by =
sharing
practices and experiences.  This
track is focused on the current state of scientific software and what we
can do to improve it in the short term,
starting with where we are today.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

=E2=80=A2 Submission of Track 2 position papers, experience papers, present=
ations
of previously
  published works, and demos: July 10
=E2=80=A2 Submission of travel support requests: July 10
=E2=80=A2 Lightning talk decisions announced: Aug 1
=E2=80=A2 Track 1 idea papers decisions announced: Aug 1
=E2=80=A2 Track 2 position papers, experience papers, presentations of prev=
iously
published works,
  and demo decisions announced: Aug 1
=E2=80=A2 Travel support decisions announced: Aug 2

Submission types and formats:
=E2=80=A2 Lightning talks: a short paper, up to 2 pages, that if accepted c=
an be
conveyed in a 5 to 7 minute talk,
  either on Track 1: Building a sustainable future for open-use research
software or Track 2: Practices & experiences
  in sustainable scientific software.  Lightning talks may be based on
either novel or previously published work, but
  must contain a core idea that will contribute to the discussion in the
workshop.
=E2=80=A2 Idea papers: a longer paper, up to 8 pages, that presents impleme=
ntable
proposals related to Track 1: Building a
  sustainable future for open-use research software. Track 1 participants
will build on the proposals and ideas in
  these papers, with the goal of initiating the planning, development, and
execution of some of the ideas during the
  workshop itself. Given the magnitude and importance of the task at hand,
the WSSSPE4 organizing committee
  encourages these proposals to be developed on an open, public, and
inclusive basis. Submitters are invited to
  present a vision of some aspect of the future of open-use research
software, and a plan of activities to gather and
  organize the resources needed to get there.
