Engineering the Software for Understanding Climate Change
2009
Climate scientists build large, complex simulations with little or no software engineering training—and don't readily adopt the latest software engineering tools and techniques. This ethnographic study of climate scientists shows that their culture and practices share many features of agile and open source projects, but with highly customized software validation and verification techniques.
