The Science and Art of Simulation

The Science and Art of Simulation (SAS) series investigates computational methods from an interdisciplinary point of view. Focusing on topics that have traditionally been studied either in STEM disciplines or in the humanities, it builds bridges between researchers from both worlds. The series explores the role of computation at the interface of society and science through the lenses of philosophy, engineering, media science, mathematics, literature studies, computer science, sociology, and other disciplines. Each volume collects essays reflecting on the use of computational methods in a specific area with current relevance.

Simulieren und Entscheiden

Simulationen geben zunehmend Orientierung für die Entscheidungsfindung in Politik, Ökonomie, Ökologie oder Medizin. Hierzu sind zunächst Modelle zu bilden, wobei die Modellierungsentscheidungen einen großen Effekt auf die Simulationsergebnisse haben. Dieses Zusammenhangs nimmt sich der vorliegende Band an und durchleuchtet Computersimulationen im Kontext von Entscheidungen aus Sicht der Soziologie, Simulationswissenschaft und Philosophie. Dabei stehen drei Fragen im Mittelpunkt: Wie werden Entscheidungen modelliert oder simuliert? Welche metatheoretischen und methodischen Entscheidungen müssen simulierende WissenschaftlerInnen im Zuge der Simulationsstudie treffen? Wie werden organisationale oder politische Entscheidungen durch Modellierungen und Simulationen unterstützt?

Tools for High Performance Computing

This book series presents the proceedings of the annual International Parallel Tools Workshop, a forum to discuss the latest advances in parallel tools. High-performance computing plays an increasingly important role for numerical simulation and modeling in academic and industrial research. At the same time, using large-scale parallel systems efficiently is becoming more difficult. A number of tools addressing parallel program development and analysis has emerged from the high-performance computing community over the last decade, and what may have started as a collection of a small helper scripts has now matured into production-grade frameworks. Powerful user interfaces and an extensive body of documentation together create a user-friendly environment for parallel tools.
