Recently the world of problem solving environment (PSE) for numerical computer simulation has been explored extensively in computational science and engineering. A PSE is a computer system that assists scientists and engineers to solve a target class of problems, for example, problems based on partial differential equations. PSEs have a promising potential to be a reliable infrastructure for science and technology in the near future. Toward this end of realization for a programming-free environment, several PSEs has been developed including NCAS, PSILAB, ELLPACK, V-LAB, FEEL, VECFEM, DISTRAN and so on. In this article we introduce recent activities for PSE research and development in Japan including our study on NCAS system. Each PSE has its own characteristic feature : for example, NCAS is a white box PSE, every sub-process and its result are visualized and can be steered, and readable sorce programs are also designed and generated, although some of other systems are black box systems. At present Japan also has a reseach group for PSEs and the first PSE workshop was held in 1998 organized by the group (see htttp : //skkd1.ishii.utsunomiya-u.ac.jp).
