Synopsis

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.

About this title

About the Author

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.
