Possibilities of using modern techniques and tools of software engineering in designing and development of numerical simulation systems

This paper describes modern techniques of software engineering that can be successfully used while designing and developing applications dedicated to perform numerical simulations. Such techniques can simplify and speed up process of software development and maintenance. This article focuses on three techniques, that are: domain specific languages, metaprogramming with use of code templates and service oriented software architecture based on Web fervices technology. Usage of these techniques is presented on the examples of engineering software developed mainly at the Czestochowa University of Technology.
