A Pattern Language for Scientific Simulations.

CoSMoS workshop, Orleans, France, September 2012 , pp77-103, Luniver Press 2012

Abstract:

For computer-based simulations to be scientifically useful and scientifically credible, they need to be developed to high standards, and argued fit-for-purpose. The CoSMoS project has developed an approach to support such development, and codified its approach in a pattern language. Here we overview this pattern language, and discuss several example simulation development patterns and antipatterns.
