Software-Enabled Discovery and Beyond

But what is an RSE?

We like an inclusive definition of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) to encompass those who regularly use expertise in programming to advance research. This includes researchers who spend a significant amount of time programming, full-time software engineers writing code to solve research problems, and those somewhere in-between. We aspire to apply the skills and practices of software development to research to create more robust, manageable, and sustainable research software. Read more on the US-RSE website.

The theme of this year’s conference will be "Software-Enabled Discovery and Beyond." As such, topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Discovery enabled by software
  • Architectures, frameworks, libraries, and technology trends
  • Research data management
  • Support for scalability and data-driven methods
  • Improving the reproducibility of research
  • Usability, portals, workflows, and tools
  • Sustainability, security, and stability
  • Software engineering approaches supporting research
  • Community engagement
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for RSEs and in RSEng
  • Training and workforce development
  • Building an RSE profession

Conference News & Updates

Computational Notebooks as Scholarly Objects

Posted on March 13, 2023

The theme of the US-RSE March Community Call was “Computational Notebooks as Scholarly Objects.” Computational notebooks are now an essential component of the research software ecosystem, supporting a variety of use cases across many disciplines. As a way to acknowledge their established role in our community, the US-RSE 2023 conference committee has decided to introduce a dedicated submission track for notebooks. But what does it mean to “submit a notebook” to a conference? Kenton, from the Program Committee, gave a history of similar efforts to elevate notebooks as scholarly objects. Then Ludovico, Torin, and Nicole, from the Notebook Subcommittee, summarized their findings from the notebook submission development process and presented the submission workflow in its current form. A key part of the call was the discussion with the audience: not only to solicit feedback about the conference submission process (did we cover all reasonable use cases? did we leave something out?), but more broadly about the growing importance of notebooks as not only research tools, but as first-class artifacts of the software-driven discovery process.
