CiSE was created to serve the computational science community. From its founding, it has focused on real-world applications of scientific computing, with articles written by and for active practitioners, and it will continue to serve this function. Education in computational science is a core mission for CiSE. Its feature articles are designed to inform and instruct, and various columns appearing in every issue are explicitly tutorial. CiSE has always been a group effort, with a editorial board of industry activists.
