Self-adapting numerical software (SANS) effort

The challenge for the development of next generation software is the successful management of the complex computational environment while delivering to the scientist the full power of flexible compositions of the available algorithmic alternatives. Self-Adapting Numerical Software (SANS) systems are intended to meet this significant challenge. The process of arriving at an efficient numerical solution of problems in computational science involves numerous decisions by a numerical expert. Attempts to automate such decisions distinguish three levels:
