sciáenátiáfic softáware (also
called analysis software, or computational
software) application software whose
most significant portion embeds scientific or engineering models and provides
data to support decisions based on those models; examples include software that
supports design of bridges, airframes, and engines; supports design and
operation of nuclear power plants; provides guidance for orthopedic surgery;
supports exploration for oil and other minerals; and provides predictions for
severe weather and climate change.
softáware enágináeeráing for sciáenátiáfic softáware software engineering techniques and
methods designed and validated to be used specifically for the development and
maintenance of scientific software; all such techniques and methods take into
account the characteristics salient to the environment and products of
scientific software development.
