NFDIxCS contributes to Communications of the ACM article on Research Software Engineering
A new opinion article in Communications of the ACM introduces the concept of RSE research as a complementary perspective to research software engineering. NFDIxCS is represented among the authors.
The article explores how research software is developed and maintained, and proposes RSE research as an approach to systematically investigate and improve associated practices. It discusses the characteristics of research software, categorization and sustainability, and the specific demands of software engineering in research contexts.
The article was authored by Michael Felderer, Michael Goedicke, Lars Grunske, Wilhelm Hasselbring, Anna-Lena Lamprecht, and Bernhard Rumpe.
