A workshop for research software engineers

The Software Sustainability Institute is organising a one-day workshop for research software engineers, in Oxford on the 11th September 2013. The workshop is free to attend, and registration is open now.

If you write software for research—even if you don't think of yourself as a software engineer—this could be very relevant to you: check out the page about the event and see whether you recognise yourself in the description of people the SSI are hoping to get together.

The agenda will be highly adaptable to the interests of attendees, so if you're interested in talking to other software developers, scientist-programmers, and hackers in academia about the problems and scope for future opportunity in front of us, do come along!

MLSP Prizes for Reproducibility: Winners announced!

Announcing the winners of the MLSP 2014 and SoundSoftware.ac.uk Prizes for Reproducibility in Signal Processing, organised by SoundSoftware.ac.uk in conjuction with the IEEE Signal Processing Society for the 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
