Hello Everyone: It is that time of the year when holiday cheer is all around us. Keeping with the holiday cheer, I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to join me at Emmett’s on Friday, December 15 after work for the MCS Holiday Party. We have an area set aside for us from 5:30am until 7:30pm for conversation, appetizers, and the beverage(s) of your choice. Emmett’s is located at 5200 Main Street, Downers Grove. Feel free to bring a friend and/or family member(s). Keeping with the DOE culture, we will need $12.50 per person to cover appetizers and there will be a cash bar for drinks. Janet will collect the money. Below is a list of the appetizers: Cheese quesadillas Tomato basil bruschetta Artichoke and Spinach dip Jumbo chicken wings Mini corned beef sandwiches Please let Janet know of any concerns with the appetizers. To allow for adequate planning for our holiday party, please use the Doodle poll to let us know if you can join me: https://doodle.com/poll/e7fri5kqrip855gk If you plan to bring others, please add a “+N” to your Doodle poll entry. We need a final head count and money to Janet by December 8. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! --Valerie

Scientific Software Ecosystems: Why and How<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> by Lois McInnes and Michael Heroux 10:00-11:00am CT Wednesday, November 8, 2017 Software packages have proven effective in providing reusable capabilities that are robust, efficient, and scalable for computational and data-enabled research and education. At the same time, work toward broader interoperability in the form of scientific software ecosystems is imperative for next-generation modeling, simulation, and analysis. This presentation will launch a webinar series to promote the awareness of quality reusable research software for conducting computational and data-enabled discovery in all fields. We will provide a broad overview of issues, including examples of how software libraries help to enable efficient, robust, and portable performance, and we will discuss approaches to manage risks when using external software. We will also introduce international community efforts to improve, promote, and thereby expand the use of research software. We encourage you to get involved!

What We Have Learned About Using Software Engineering Practices in Scientific & Engineering Software<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> by Jeffrey Carver 10:00-11:00am CT Wednesday November 29, 2017 The increase in the importance of Scientific & Engineering Software motivates the need to identify and understand which software engineering (SE) practices are appropriate. Because of the uniqueness of the scientific & engineering software domain, existing SE tools and techniques developed for the business/IT community are often not efficient or effective. Appropriate SE solutions must account for the salient characteristics of the scientific & engineering software development environment. To identify these solutions, members of the SE community must interact with members of the scientific & engineering software community. This presentation will discuss the findings from a series of case studies of scientific & engineering software projects, an ongoing workshop series, and the results of interactions between my research group and scientific & engineering software projects. Register for Blue Waters Webinars<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> Participation in Blue Waters webinars is free, but registration is required.
