“…The current concept of a PSE has its origins in an April 1991 workshop funded by the US National Science Foundation [5] [6]. The workshop found that the availability of high performance computing resources, coupled with advances in software tools and infrastructure, made the creation of PSEs for computational science a practical goal, and that these PSEs would greatly improve the productivity of scientists and engineers.…”

“…By exploiting modern technologies such as interactive color graphics, powerful processors, and networks of specialized services, PSEs can track extended problem solving tasks and allow users to review them easily. Overall, they create a framework that is all things to all people: they solve simple or complex problems, support rapid prototyping or detailed analysis, and can be used in introductory education or at the frontiers of science [5].

Abstract. Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is a new and diverse area of research, and till now it resists simple universally accepted definitions. In brief, PSE is a complete and integrated computing environment in which new application can be constructed, compiled and executed. This paper describes the concept and software architecture of a PSE for Enterprise computing (E-PSE). The E-PSE is developed to provide transparent access to heterogeneous distributed computing resources in one enterprise, and is to improve research productivity by making it easier to construct, compile and run computer applications so that the enterprise can achieve more advanced economic benefit as soon as possible.

“…PSEs were originally introduced in domains such as partial differential equations (PDEs) [39,63] and linear algebra [30] where they provided high-level programmatic interfaces to widely used software libraries [29,64]. With rapid advances in high performance computing, GIS, software interfaces, computational intelligence, and networking, interest in PSEs has virtually exploded.…”

“…The emerging discipline of problem solving environments (PSEs) [29] seeks to combine such discipline-specific software tools into integrated systems for decisionmaking and problem solving. PSEs free the computational scientist from managing individual software components and enable the specification of parameters of the problem at a high level (in the vernacular of the domain), rather than in terms of low-level modeling subsystems or software.…”

We describe the design and implementation of L2W -a problem solving environment (PSE) for landuse change analysis. L2W organizes and unifies the diverse collection of software typically associated with ecosystem models (hydrological, economic, and biological). It provides a web-based interface for potential watershed managers and other users to explore meaningful alternative land development and management scenarios and view their hydrological, ecological, and economic impacts. A prototype implementation for the Upper Roanoke River Watershed in Southwest Virginia, USA is described. From Landscapes to Waterscapes

“…A Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is a complete, integrated computing environment for composing, compiling, and running applications in a specific area [10]. PSEs have been available for several years for certain specific domains, but most of these have supported different phases of application development, and cannot be used cooperatively to improve a scientists' productivity, primarily due to the lack of a framework for tool integration and ease-of-use considerations.…”

A Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is a complete, integrated computing environment for composing, compiling and running applications in a specific problem area or domain. We describe a visual code development tool within a PSE, which enables computational scientists to construct applications by connecting components. The granularity of each component can vary from being a complete code, to a mathematical routine such as a matrix or PDE solver. We first outline the requirements of such an environment, illustrating these with our implementation. The implementation of a computational electro-magnetic solver is then described using this code development tool, based on a 2D boundary element code. We emphasise lessons learned, and the importance of using such an environment to support new application development.
