Technologies ranging from distributed computing to specialized hardware are explored and developed to address the computational requirements arising in complex systems simulations.The aim of this book is to present a representative overview of contemporary large-scale computing technologies in the context of complex systems simulations applications. The intention is to identify new research directions in this field and to provide a communications platform facilitating an exchange of concepts, ideas and needs between the scientists and technologist and complex system modelers. On the application side, the book focuses on modeling and simulation of natural and man-made complex systems. On the computing technology side, emphasis is placed on the distributed computing approaches, but supercomputing and other novel technologies are also considered"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2013.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aComputer simulation. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aDubitzky, Werner,d1958-1 aKurowski, Krzysztof,d1977-1 aSchott, Bernard,d1962-2 aebrary, Inc. 0aWiley series on parallel and distributed computing.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10517381zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c224980d224980
