Description & Coverage
Description:

By using computer simulations in research and development, computational science and engineering (CSE) allows empirical inquiry where traditional experimentation and methods of inquiry are difficult, inefficient, or prohibitively expensive.

The Handbook of Research on Computational Science and Engineering: Theory and Practice is a reference for interested researchers and decision-makers who want a timely introduction to the possibilities in CSE to advance their ongoing research and applications or to discover new resources and cutting edge developments. Rather than reporting results obtained using CSE models, this comprehensive survey captures the architecture of the cross-disciplinary field, explores the long term implications of technology choices, alerts readers to the hurdles facing CSE, and identifies trends in future development.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Computational Applications
  • Computational Science and Engineering (CSE)
  • Hardware Trends in CSE
  • High Performance Computing
  • Numerical Methods in CSE
  • Organizational and Sociological Issues in CSE
  • Programming Paradigms in CSE
  • Software Development Tools In CSE
  • Visualization
Reviews & Statements

This handbook indentifies the fundamental elements making up [Computational Science and Engineering] and showing their interdependence in a way that (a) reviews the state of the art and current achievements; (b) explores imminent developments advancing the state of play; (c) makes these accessible to as wide an audience of interested parties as possible. The handbook gives an organised survey of cogent topics. It is placed at a level that does not assume considerable prior familiarity with or facility in the heavily technical details of specific areas of CSE. [...].

Editor/Author Biographies
Joanna Leng has worked in many areas of Computational Science and Engineering including visualization, eScience, and high performance computing (HPC) for both research purposes and service provision. Her primary concern is in improving the use of computers for research purposes. This has led her to develop a strong interest in the innovation and adoption of computing practices and technologies.
Wes Sharrock has been at the University of Manchester since 1965. He has been Assistant Lecturer, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader, and Professor in Sociology there. His main interests are in the philosophy of social science, philosophy of mind, sociological theory, studies of work and science, and ethnomethodology. Current researches are into the organisation of work in constructing online ontologies in bioinformatics. He currently supervises 5 PhD students and has supervised over fifty successful PhDs. Among recent and forthcoming publications are: Ethnomethodology at Work, edited by M. Rouncefield and P. Tolmie, Ashgate 2011 (co-authored introduction and conclusion, authored chapter on division of labour); Studies of Work and the Workplace in HCI: Concepts and Techniques (2009) with G. Button, Morgan Claypool; There is No Such Thing as Social Science (2008) with P. Hutchinson and R. Read, Ashgate 2008.
