"This session deals with climate-model software quality and transparent publication of model descriptions, software, and results. The models are based on physical theories but implemented as software systems that must be kept bug-free, readable, and efficient as they evolve with climate science. How do open source and community-based development affect software quality? What are the roles of publication and peer review of the scientific and computational designs in journals or other curated online venues? Should codes and datasets be linked to journal articles? What changes in journal submission standards and infrastructure are needed to support this? We invite submissions including experience reports, case studies, and visions of the future."
