SUMMARY:MS1B - Improving the Sustainability of Research and Scientific Sof
 tware
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nIn the rapidly evolving field of computationa
 l science, sustainability of research and scientific software has become a
  crucial element for future progress. The robustness and long-term viabili
 ty of scientific computing software ecosystems is essential for the succes
 s of many scientific and technical organizations. A critical aspect of pro
 moting sustainability is the evaluation and monitoring of project health w
 ithin these ecosystems. This minisymposium will explore sustainability met
 rics' requirements and development, with speakers from the open-source sof
 tware community, industry, and national laboratories sharing insights on t
 heoretical models and practical experiences in software management. This e
 vent will also include a panel discussion, serving as a collaborative plat
 form for exchanging best practices in software sustainability. It will add
 ress the challenges in software maintenance, the importance of effective s
 tewardship strategies, and the crucial role of community involvement in en
 suring the enduring success of scientific software. This event is more tha
 n a discussion—it's an active engagement in shaping the future of scientif
 ic software sustainability. It offers a platform for collaboration among v
 arious stakeholders to ensure the resilience and vitality of scientific so
 ftware, crucial for progress in computational science and technology.\n\nU
 sing Metrics to Improve Project Sustainability\n\nSustaining open source p
 rojects over the long-term can be a challenge. Project leaders and contrib
 utors are busy people who don’t always have the time to focus on growing a
  community and maintaining their software. Using metrics is one way to hel
