  abstract =     "The ACTS Collection brings together a number of general-purpose 
                 computational tools that were developed by independent research projects 
                 mostly funded and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. These tools 
                 tackle a number of common computational issues found in many applications,
                 mainly implementation of numerical algorithms, and support for code 
                 development, execution and optimization. In this article, we introduce 
                 the numerical tools in the collection and their functionalities, present 
                 a model for developing more complex computational applications on top of 
                 ACTS tools, and summarize applications that use these tools. Lastly, we 
                 present a vision of the ACTS project for deployment of the ACTS 
                 Collection by the computational sciences community.",
