Foil 32 Is Computational Science an Academic Discipline?

From Introduction to Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science Class -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 There can be no doubt that topics in Computational Science are useful and those in CSIT (Computational Science and Information Technology) are even more useful
  • CSIT incorporates trend towards data intensive computing and networked scientific collaboration
2 The CSIT technologies are also difficult and involve fundamental ideas
3 The area is of interest to both those in computer science and application fields
4 Probably most jobs going to Computer Science graduates really need CSIT education but unfortunately
  • Employees only know about "Computer Science/Engineering"
5 So most current implementations make CSIT as a set of courses within existing disciplines
  • Situation could change though as CSIT is "correct"
