The main aim of this book is to present a broader view of
scientific software than has been common in the past. The provision
of scientific software is no longer a matter of just writing 'good
computer programs', but rather it is concerned with the development
of an integrated software system wI-, ich offers the user
facilities which approach all that he needs in terms of speed,
accuracy and convenience. This means that due account must, for
example, be taken of the high-speed computing capabilities of
parallel processors, the exact computing features of symbolic
mathematical systems, the presentational potentialities of computer
graphics, and the advisory aspects of knowledge-based and expert
systems. When suites of numerical software programs or routines are
supported by such ranges of facilities, then they can be justly
described as 'scientific software systems', and that is why we have
adopted such a title here. The assembly of this book was a direct
consequence of the running of a one-day international symposium,
with the same broad aim of advocating a 'systems approach', under
the title 'Scientific Software and Systems'. This Symposium was
held at the Royal Military College of Science (RMCS) in Shrivenham
on July 11, 1988 and was attended by 85 people. A very busy but
most enjoyable day included invited talks, poster presentations and
demonstrations of software products, not to mention various social
activi ties."
