Abstract

Development of scientific software relies on specialized knowledge from a broad range of diverse disciplines including computer science, mathematics, engineering, and the natural sciences.  Since it is rare for a given practitioner to simultaneously be an expert in each of the aforementioned fields, teamwork and collaboration are now the norm for scientific software development.  This short paper discusses specific software development conventions that have led to the success of the MOOSE multiphysics framework at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and ongoing plans to bring MOOSE to a wider community of developers as an open source project on GitHub.
