As more scientists and engineers adopt computation as a primary tool, they will want more problem-solving help from easy-to-use, comprehensive software systems. A workshop discussed the long path to this vision of scientific software's future, and the roadblocks in the way. In order to understand the findings of the workshop, the paper presents some background on software libraries and problem solving environments.
