Computational Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer science and applied mathematics with a wide variety of application areas that use significant computation to solve their problems
Includes the study of computational techniques
  • Science and Engineering - Grand Challenges
  • Society and Business - National Challenge
Includes the study of new algorithms, languages and models in computer science and applied mathematics required by the use of high performance computing and communications in any (?) important application
  • At interface of (applied) computer science and applications
Includes computation of complex systems using physical analogies such as neural networks and genetic optimization.
