The Art of Computational Science
Open Knowledge

Having access to the source code is one thing.
Having access to the tacit knowledge that went into the process of
writing the source code is quite something else. In our Manifesto
below, we describe the philosophy behind the ACS initiative.
Below we list the available volumes. By clicking on the title, you

Manifesto
(PS
/ PDF)
[incomplete]
-
in which we summarize our basic approach to Open Knowledge.
-
We will provide more background and history, in the near future.
-
We will also provide more justification and critical comparison with
other approaches.
-
1.
Weaving Text and Code
[in preparation]
-
in which we describe our generalized version of literate programming.
-
Starting from the rdoc
system, we implement our own acsdoc documentation system.
-
We use acsdoc for producing html, ps and pdf files, and
providing cross references.
-
2.
Lessons Learned
[in preparation]
-
in which we describe how our Open Knowledge ideas gradually emerged.
-
We analyze how and why we were driven to our most important design decisions.
-
We try to generalize our conclusions for larger areas of computational
science.
