Charter

Purpose: The CASS Integration Working Group’s goal is to enhance the quality, sustainability, efficiency, and interoperability of scientific and AI software. This happens at two levels: (1) ecosystem level – improving how different software products and communities work together (interoperability); and (2) software product level – improving individual libraries and tools within our software portfolios including programming systems, data and visualization, math libraries, tools, and workflows. Since different product communities have unique needs and development stages, focusing on both the broader ecosystem and specific products is essential for creating a well-integrated software environment.
