Future problem solving environments for computational science Original Research Article

In this paper we review the current state of the problem solving environment (PSE) field and make projections for the future. First we describe the computing context, the definition of a PSE and the goals of a PSE. The state-of-the-art is summarized along with the principal components and paradigms for building PSEs. The discussion of the future is given in three parts: future trends, scenarios for 2010/2025, and research issues to be addressed.
