Research Software Engineering (RSE) combines professional software engineering expertise with an intimate understanding of research. The ITRC consortium has established a research environment that recognises the vital role of software in research, particularly in the strands of simulation modelling and spatial analysis that underpin the core of our work. We have worked to improve the software skills of researchers involved in the consortium, and we have employed software experts \u2013 Research Software Engineers \u2013 who have worked in close collaboration with researchers, modellers and analysts throughout the project.<\/p>\n

More broadly, research software engineering is supported by the Society of Research Software Engineers<\/a>\u00a0and the Software Sustainability Institute<\/a>. Good software practices create better software, and better software improves the reproducibility and re-usability of research.<\/p>\n

APPLICATIONS<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ text_text_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n

Research software engineering techniques have made the integration of the NISMOD system-of-systems models possible, supported reproducibility of model results and have accelerated and supported research, simulation and analysis throughout the project.<\/p>\n

Within ITRC, we organise and collaborate on software development through the NISMOD GitHub<\/a> organisation, which allows us to work on both open-source, public code where possible, and closed, private projects where necessary.<\/p>\n
