CfP: IEEE Software Special Issue: Developing Scientific Software

"IEEE Software/ seeks submissions for a special issue on the topic of scientific software development/. By "scientific software development,” we mean the development of software that directly supports the work of scientists in attempting to push back the boundaries of domains which are both complex and poorly understood. We take a broad view of scientists to include mathematicians and applied scientists such as engineers, as well as physicists, chemists, biologists, etc."
