       abstract = "Methods for optimal experimental design aim at minimizing uncertainty in parameter
         estimation problems. Despite their long tradition in applied mathematics and importance in practical
         applications, they are currently not widely used in computational science and engineering. To make
         the techniques of optimal experimental design more accessible to a broader community, we introduce a
         novel software environment called EFCOSS and demonstrate its ease of use and versatility in two case
         studies of binary diffusion experiments. Through the use of a component-based software architecture,
         integration of automatic differentiation technology and facilitated interfacing to optimization
         algorithms, EFCOSS minimizes the computational overhead for the user who can thus focus on model
         development and analysis itself. The presented case studies focus on diffusion experiments in
         liquids since these experiments are typically very demanding. The use of optimal experimental design
         techniques allows to reduce experimental time and effort significantly.",
