论文摘要
科学和工程软件的开发通常是不同的，并且可能比传统企业软件的开发更具挑战性。作者参与了学术界和行业之间的技术转移项目，该项目的重点是工程，开发和测试软件，以优化油管管道的泵送能源成本。涉及不同技能（机械，电源和软件工程师）的专家。鉴于软件的复杂性质（一个复杂的基础优化模型）并拥有来自不同领域的专家，因此软件系统的各个软件工程方面（例如，需求和测试）面临着挑战。我们报告了在技术转移项目中解决这些挑战方面的观察和经验，并旨在增加科学和工程软件工程学的现有经验和证据。我们认为，我们的观察，经验和经验教训对于其他科学和工程软件系统的工程研究人员和从业人员可能很有用。
Development of scientific and engineering software is usually different and could be more challenging than the development of conventional enterprise software. The authors were involved in a technology-transfer project between academia and industry which focused on engineering, development and testing of a software for optimization of pumping energy costs for oil pipelines. Experts with different skillsets (mechanical, power and software engineers) were involved. Given the complex nature of the software (a sophisticated underlying optimization model) and having experts from different fields, there were challenges in various software engineering aspects of the software system (e.g., requirements and testing). We report our observations and experience in addressing those challenges during our technology-transfer project, and aim to add to the existing body of experience and evidence in engineering of scientific and engineering software. We believe that our observations, experience and lessons learnt could be useful for other researchers and practitioners in engineering of other scientific and engineering software systems.
