   abstract = {Using software for large-scale simulations has become an important research
      method in many disciplines. With increasingly complex simulations, simulation
      software becomes a valuable assest. Yet, the quality of many simulation codes
      is worrying. In this paper, we want to collect and structure the challenges for
      a systematic simulation software engineering as a reference and the basis for
      further research. We describe our own experiences with developing simulation
      software and collaborating with non-computer-scientists. We complement our
      experienced challenges with a brief literature review. We structured the
      challenges for simulation software engineering into six areas: motivation and
      recognition; education and training; developer turnover; software length of
      life; verification, validation and debugging; and efficiency vs.
      maintainability. Overcoming these challenges needs efforts from research
      agencies, scientific computing researchers as well as software engineering
      researchers.},
