What is Problem Solving Environment (PSE)

“A system that provides all the computational facilities necessary to solve a target class of problems. It uses the language of the target class and users need not have specialized knowledge of the underlying hardware or software” ( Kawata et al., 2012 ). An example typical PSE generates a computer program automatically to solve differential equations. PSE provides integrated human-friendly computational services and facilities. At present PSE covers a rather wide area, for example, program generation support PSE, education support PSE, CAE software learning support PSE, grid/cloud computing support PSE, job execution support PSE, e-Learning support PSE, uncertainty management in scientific computing, and PSE for PSE generation support.
