Produktbeschreibung

Computational models provide us with opportunities to create a simulated environment to construct and understand the intricacies of the real world problems. They allow us to apply our best analytical methods to subject problems defined in a clearly mathematical manner. They give us a chance to test our designs in full before committing expensive resources to their production. They isolate a subject from an unbounded environment, allowing controllable experimentation not possible in a messy world. Computation has been posited as a third pillar of science, alongside theory and empirical research. This book provides a window to the novel endeavours of the research communities to present their works by highlighting the value of computational modelling as a research tool when investigating complex systems. We hope that the readers will have stimulating experiences to pursue research in these directions.
