Introduction to the Software Sustainability Institute
No full textNeil Chue Hong, Software Sustainability Institute Director, and Mario Antonioletti, Research Software Engineer, will give an overview of the important role that software plays in research and innovation and describe some of the Instituteʼs activities around the research software community in the UK and in Edinburgh. In particular, Neil & Mario will present different opportunities to collaborate with the Software Sustainability Institute and connect you to a wider research software community.The Software Sustainability Institute [www.software.ac.uk] is based at the Universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton, and draws on a team of experts with a breadth of experience in software development, project and programme management, research facilitation, publicity and community engagement. Some of the most recentcommunity activities in Edinburgh include the Edinburgh Research Software Engineering Community meetings (CERSE) [github.com] and Edinburgh Carpentries (EdCarp) [edcarp.github.io] software engineering and data analysis training workshops.</div

- The programme of the day
- Keynote from: Neil Chue-Hong: "Is my research right? Surviving in a post-expert world"
- Talk from Stephen Eglen: "Encouraging code sharing in academia"
- Notes from focus groups facilitated by Kirstie Whitaker, Laurent Gatto and Stephen Eglen
- Collaborative notes taken by participants on the day

Wait a bit! Why do we care about software preservation?
No full textResearch software is now ubiquitous, but we're still bad at storing and sharing it to enable reuse and reproducibility. In this keynote talk for the Jisc Software Preservation Invitational Workshop on "Making Research Reproducible: Software Preservation, What’s Been Done, What’s Possible, What’s Needed", I'll talk about some of the work that the Software Sustainability Institute and others have done on improving software preservation
Making research software visible:new models for sustaining development
No full textA panel presentation considering new models of supporting software sustainability
We have to keep an open mind
No full textWhy is open source and open data not the norm? In the closing keynote for the FOSS4GUK conference, I talk about my experiences of openness, how the Software Sustainability Institute came about, why projects fail, and what we can all do next
Doing Science in the Digital Age: If everyone is parallel processing, what’s the problem?
No full textThe phone I have in my pocket is more powerful than the first supercomputer I used, and my phone is 4 years old! As we head towards exascale and beyond, what is the future of parallel computing and, more importantly, what challenges to its use still remain?
When we think of massively parallel computers, we think of modelling and simulation in the physical sciences. But the same techniques can be applied to other disciplines, given the right tools and skills. So why isn’t parallel programming ubiquitous in research? Do we need to change our definition of what using a high performance computing means?
In this talk I will argue that parallel computing is not just about bigger and faster machines, but supporting more people to get the best performance from them. I will discuss work the Software Sustainability Institute has been doing to understand how researchers use computing resources, the role that software plays in modern research, and why Research Software Engineers are an important part of what comes next. I’ll also cover how work funded by the UK’s ExCALIBUR programme is looking to provide people with the skills and knowledge to exploit exascale as we prepare to meet the challenges that the next decade of research will bring. </p
Open Software for (Open) Science
No full text<p>Modern research relies on software. However it can be difficult to understand the implications that the way in which software is licensed can have on its impact and uptake. This talk will give an overview of Open Software, of Open Source licenses, and a summary of the pros/cons of different open vs. closed licences, drawing on examples from different large scale pieces of software. It will also discuss how open software relates to other open science / open access policy, including how the Software Sustainability Institute has been contributing to policy and guidance for researchers and developers.<br><br>This talk was given at the e-IRG workshop in Riga on 3rd June 2015. </p
