# BRCON 2021 TALK: UNIX PRINCIPLES FOR SCIENCE SIMULATIONS
I presented some ideas and examples of using the [1]Unix principles in
scientific software development during [2]brcon 2021. Abstract:
Most numerical simulations contain several steps, for example
initialization of model state, defining boundary conditions,
stepping through simulation time, statistical analysis on results,
and visualiation. In this talk I demonstrate how UNIX principles of
process modularity and text streams allow for unparalleled flexibility
for scientific applications.
