Computational science involves the use and analysis of mathematical models on high- performance computers to solve scientific and engineering problems in various disciplines. Such disciplines include nuclear engineering, reservoir modeling, environmental studies, seismology, aeronautics, biology, economics and medical imaging. Scientific computation constitutes a powerful “third arm” to theory and experimentation, and provides an innovative methodology to multidisciplinary problem solving.
ISC serves as a platform for conducting and coordinating multidisciplinary research under the four disciplines of scientific computation: data management, mathematical modeling, numerical solutions and visualization.
