Abstract:
In this paper we report results from an exploratory study of design structures in scientific research software. Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) is used as a modelling tool to capture and analyze dependencies among system elements such as functions. We compute several architectural complexity metrics and present preliminary results from two open-source scientific computing software applications.
