Computational science, an emerging and increasingly vital field, is now widely
recognized as an integral part of scientific and technical investigations, affecting
researchers and practitioners in areas ranging from aerospace and automotive research
to biochemistry, electronics, geosciences, mathematics, and physics. Computer
systems research and the exploitation of applied research naturally complement each
other. The increased complexity of many challenges in computational science
demands the use of supercomputing, parallel processing, sophisticated algorithms,
and advanced system software and architecture. It is therefore invaluable to have
input by systems research experts in applied computational science research.
Transactions on Computational Science focuses on original high-quality research
in the realm of computational science in parallel and distributed environments, also
encompassing the underlying theoretical foundations and the applications of large-
scale computation. The journal offers practitioners and researchers the opportunity to
share computational techniques and solutions in this area, to identify new issues, and
to shape future directions for research, and it enables industrial users to apply leading-
edge, large-scale, high-performance computational methods.
In addition to addressing various research and application issues, the journal aims
to present material that is validated – crucial to the application and advancement of
the research conducted in academic and industrial settings. In this spirit, the journal
focuses on publications that present results and computational techniques that are
verifiable.
