Description: Computational Science is the scientific discipline that aims at the
development and understanding of new computational methods and
techniques to model and simulate complex systems. The area of
application includes natural systems – such as biology environ
mental and geo-sciences, physics, and chemistry – and synthetic
systems such as electronics and financial and economic systems. The
discipline is a bridge bet ween 'classical' computer science –
logic, complexity, architecture, algorithm- mathematics, and the
use of computers in the aforementioned areas. The relevance for
society stems from the numerous challenges that exist in the
various… more…
