MODERN SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING ...

Looking back at the years that have passed since the realization of the very first electronic 
multi-purpose computers  one observes a tremendous growth in hardware and software performance.
Today  researchers and engi neers have access to computing power and software that can solve
numerical problems which are not fully understood in terms of existing mathemati cal theory.
Thus  computational sciences must in many respects be viewed as experimental disciplines. As a
consequence  there is a demand for high quality  flexible software that allows  and even
encourages  experimentation with alternative numerical strategies and mathematical models.
Extensibil ity is then a key issue  the software must provide an efficient environment for
incorporation of new methods and models that will be required in fu ture problem scenarios. The
development of such kind of flexible software is a challenging and expensive task. One way to
achieve these goals is to in vest much work in the design and implementation of generic
software tools which can be used in a wide range of application fields. In order to provide a
forum where researchers could present and discuss their contributions to the described
development  an International Work shop on Modern Software Tools for Scientific Computing was
arranged in Oslo  Norway  September 16-18  1996. This workshop  informally referred to as Sci
Tools '96  was a collaboration between SINTEF Applied Mathe matics and the Departments of
Informatics and Mathematics at the Uni versity of Oslo.
