Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to publish your next paper in the Energies Special Issue on “New Challenges in Software for Marine Energy Applications”. This Special Issue is focused on the unique challenges faced by marine energy researchers developing software for a specific need, and by developers of broadly applicable open-source marine energy software alike. Marine energy is a new and growing field with a diverse array of technologies. This poses a unique challenge for marine energy software, where one must decide between writing a custom (often proprietary) solution for a specific need, leveraging existing open-source packages, or developing a new software package altogether. These software architecture designs must be weighed against outside factors such as deadlines, funding, and team dynamics, challenges that are faced by the development and application of research software in general. This Special Issue is focused on the unique challenges faced by the marine energy field on the development and application of software.
Authors are invited to submit their original work and survey papers for publication in this Special Issue of Energies. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Development and application of marine energy software;
- Research software and open-source software;
- Review of marine energy software;
- Marine energy software needs assessment;
- Development and application challenges for marine energy software.
We look forward to receiving your contributions. It is recommended to send a tentative title and a short summary of the manuscript to Energies Editor Mr. Louis Liu <[email protected]>.
