In addition, it is essential that scientists, researchers, and students are able to learn and adopt a new set of software-related skills and methodologies. Established researchers are already acquiring some of these skills, and in particular a specialized class of software developers is emerging in academic environments as an integral and embedded part of successful research teams. Following a first workshop at SC13, WSSSPE2 will use reviewed short papers, keynotes speakers, breakouts and panels to provide a forum for discussing the challenges, including both positions and experiences. All material and discussions will be archived for continued discussion. The workshop is anticipated to lead to a special issue of the Journal of Open Research Software. http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe2/ SUMMARY:Second Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE 2) PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
