Here below you will find a template to follow in order to submit your research proposal for the scientific software project you intend to complete during the second week of the activity. Please be as much as possible clear and concise, but give sufficient details and concrete plan of your intended research. Incomplete research projects will be discarded and corresponding applications rejected. Please upload .txt files and/or pdf files only. Thanks Title: ------ Your Area: ---------- Please define an appropriate research area (topic) for your project: (no more than 8 words) Packages/Libraries/Tools: ------------------------- Describe any software tool and/or infrastructure you need to work on your project. Indicate if your software project is based on some available scientific software package (i.e. packages like quantum/espresso regcm4 etc..) and provide info about them if the answer is yes. Include any library you plan or you need to use, specifying if it is free or commercial. Tell us if your software project is already using some software engineering tools and in which way (i.e. software revisiting systems /bug tracking system/ automatic regression tests and so on) Your expertise: --------------- How long have you been working within your software project ? How much familiar are you with tools ( svn/compiler/debugger/libraries etc) you are using in the project ? Programming Language: ---------------------- Your software project will be done using: - Fortran - C/C++ - a scripting language (please specify it) - Java - other (please specify it) Goal of the project: -------------------- What is the tangible goal of your project you plan to achieve within 1 week? (no more than 20 words: we are suggesting here to describe a very defined goal, Examples could be: a benchmark analysis, the setup of a regression tests, the implementation of a new algorithms in one well defined section of the code, a procedure to perform a parameter study with the software, the replacement of some library by a more sophisticated and efficient one, the porting of the code from one computational system to other one) Description of activities: --------------------------- Try to describe the activities you plan to perform in order to reach the goal described above. Please try to be as concrete as possible. (no more than 2000 characters) Status of the project: ----------------------- Please tell us if this small project can be regarded as part of a larger software development project you are involved. If yes, please give us a reference to this project and frame of the activity you plan to do at the school within this project. If no, please shortly describe how this project fits into your research, and do you intend to continue work on it after the school. (no more than 1000 character) Bibliography/Web site of reference etc. ----------------------------------------- Indicate any web sites and/or technical papers that contain indications/tools and information that helped you in defining your project and will help you in completing it.
