This addresses the problem of ensuring long-term viability for open source scientific software, primarily for researchers and developers in computational science, but it is incremental as it builds on existing practices.
The paper describes the development of DUNE, an open source framework for solving partial differential equations, focusing on strategies to maintain its sustainability as scientific software.
In this paper we describe how DUNE, an open source scientific software framework, is developed. Having a sustainable software framework for the solution of partial differential equations is the main driver of DUNE's development. We take a look how DUNE strives to stay sustainable software.
