The UQLab project: steps toward a global uncertainty quantification community

Abstract

Now that the UQLAB software has gained significant momentum since its release three years ago, a new development stage has started. In addition to continuing the development of new features and improvements over the existing ones, the UQLAB project is now moving toward the creation of a global applied UQ community, by capitalizing on the ample userbase of the software and modern online resources. In this paper, we present the general development philosophy of UQLAB and how it has characterized its userbase. Additionally, we discuss the roadmap of the upcoming community development and the long-term goals of the project from a broader perspective.
