Software Engineering for CSE

This special issue contains extensions of the best papers from the First International Workshops on Software Engineering for High Performance Computing in Computational Science & Engineering (SE-HPCCSE 2013), which was held during the SC’13 conference. For full details about the workshop (and others in this series), please visit the workshop website http://SE4Science.org/workshops, where the interested reader can find an overview of the workshop, the schedule, and links to the published proceedings. The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers from different domains (i.e., computational science, software engineering, and high-performance computing) to present their work and discuss important issues related to the intersection of these fields. Because the format of the workshop allows for short paper presentations along with ample time for small group discussion, this workshop provides a unique venue where researchers fromdifferent backgrounds canmeet and interact in amore informal setting.This editorial first briefly describes the interesting results of the group discussions. Then, it provides a brief overview of the three papers included in the special issue.
