28th HiRSE Seminar - "Facilitating Research Data Management with HELIPORT"

Oliver Knodel, Stefan Müller and David Pape from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) will continue the HiRSE Seminar with their talk on Facilitating Research Data Management with HELIPORT.

Researchers rely on a variety of systems and tools when it comes to administering their research data. Processes involving research data management include proposal submission, data management planning, simulation campaigns, documentation during the experiment, and the creation and submission of journal and data publications. HELIPORT is a data management solution that aims at making all steps of the research experiment’s life cycle discoverable, accessible, interoperable and reusable according to the FAIR principles. This is done by linking to and interfacing with established tools and solutions, and exchanging metadata between systems involved in a project. The metadata are presented to the researchers through a web interface, but they are also accessible to computational agents via API and machine-readable landing pages. In this presentation, we will introduce the metadata project HELIPORT and what provided the impulse for the project, discuss the documentation of a real experiment in HELIPORT, and outline current developments and challenges.

The meeting will be held via Zoom. Meeting ID: 663 9759 7271 / Passcode: 442377

You can find the slides from all the previous talks from the HiRSE Seminar series on zenodo and there’s a feedback form for you to tell us what you think about the seminar series and what other topics we should cover.

29th HiRSE Seminar - "Learnings from SURESOFT - Research Software Engineering Beyond Tooling"

via Zoom

Jan Linxweiler from the Technische Universität Braunschweig will talk about “Learnings from SURESOFT - Research Software Engineering Beyond Tooling”.

Abstract: “Research software plays a crucial role in advancing various disciplines and driving scientific progress. Typically developed by scientists with a focus on short-term objectives, due to the pressure to publish results as fast as possible. Therefore, such software often faces challenges in regard to software quality and suffers from reproducibility issues caused by the rushed implementation and the developers’ limited training in software engineering. This hampers its widespread and enduring usage, thereby impeding the quality and pace of scientific research.

The SURESOFT project aims to tackle these issues by establishing a cohesive methodology and infrastructure applicable to most research software projects. While leveraging tools and principles from the discipline of software engineering like version control, continuous integration, containerization, software design principles and patterns as well as testing and Test Driven Development, SURESOFT seeks to enable researchers to enhance the quality of research software to ensure its long-term sustainability and availability.”

30th HiRSE Seminar - “Is Research Software Engineering coming of age?”

via Zoom

Neil Chue Hong from the Software Sustainability Institute and The University of Edinburgh

Abstract: “Since the coining of the term Research Software Engineer in 2012, the RSE community have focussed on understanding how to define what an RSE is, where they sit, and what they do. After a decade, we’ve realised that there isn’t a single job profile for an RSE, and there are multiple pathways to becoming an RSE. So what comes next for the profession as it continues to mature? In this talk, I’ll consider whether the RSE profession is defined not by what we do, but how and why we do things. How can research software engineering be meaningful and relevant to society, how can it continue to grow, and how can we make it easier to explain our job to others? I’ll also consider where RSE is going in the future, and how the role of an RSE may be changing.”

31st HiRSE Seminar - "Research Software Engineering and Software Engineering Research: Bridging Knowledge Gaps"

via Zoom

We invite you to join us for the 31^st HiRSE Seminar on the 20^th June at 11am where Professor Caroline Jay from the Software Sustainability Institute and the University of Manchester will talk about ‘*Research Software Engineering and Software Engineering Research: Bridging Knowledge Gaps*’.

Abstract: Research software underpins computational research across many academic disciplines, and we might therefore assume that software engineering researchers (SERs), who investigate and develop methods to improve the quality of software and its lifecycle processes, have a strong interest in this growing area. Conversely, we might assume that research software engineers (RSEs) who must select, customize, and apply software engineering methods to create research software have an interest in the production and adoption of novel methods. Whilst there is strong theoretical overlap between these communities, in reality they interact very little. This talk will provide an overview of and personal reflection on a recent Dagstuhl seminar bringing RSEs and SERs together, covering the challenges of tribalism and terminology, and the opportunities of a new interdisciplinary research area.

32nd HiRSE Seminar | Helmholtz Software Award 2023: the winners present their software

via Zoom

We invite you to join us on Monday 23rd September at 13:15 CEST for a special HiRSE seminar where we are honoured to host all three award winners! They will present their software and their road to becoming an awardee of the 2023 Helmholtz Software Award.

In 2023 the Helmholtz Association opened the call for the first Helmholtz Software Award. The award aims to promote the development of professional and high-quality research software and to recognize the commitment to software as the basis of modern science. It puts the spotlight on sustainable development and operation of research software and recognises the importance of collaboration between research software engineers and will help making research software available for re-use.

After evaluation of the submissions by international experts and a final selection by a committee, the winners in the three categories Scientific Originality, Sustainability and Newcomer were selected and the centers of the winners were informed by the Helmholtz President, Prof. Dr. Otmar D. Wiestler.

33nd HiRSE Seminar | Better Software Architecture, Better Software, Better Research

via Zoom

Wilhelm Hasselbring from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel 

For large, complex software systems, the design of the overall system structure, known as software architecture, presents a critical challenge. Software architecture outlines the system in terms of components and their interconnections, distinguishing itself from the details of a fine-grained system description. It establishes a link between requirements and the final system, providing a rationale for design decisions and encompassing decisions about quality attributes, which can then be evaluated early in the development process. For instance, system performance is heavily impacted by the complexity of coordination and communication, especially when components are distributed across a network.

The reusability of components and services is significantly influenced by their coupling within the software architecture. When a new research software engineer begins work on an existing software system, the architecture is typically the first element they review. This can be challenging if the architecture is undocumented. In such cases, reverse engineering the architecture from the code can aid in understanding the program.

As the embodiment of initial design decisions, software architecture includes choices that are difficult to alter later, making them crucial for careful consideration. Research software is often developed with limited resources and without a long-term maintenance vision, which can lead to architectural decay.

The research software engineering community holds the belief that better software fosters better research. Similarly, the software engineering research community asserts that better architecture results in better software. Therefore, I advocate for enhanced consideration of architectures in research software to enhance the quality of research.
