計(jì)算科學(xué)是一個(gè)快速發(fā)展的多學(xué)科交叉領(lǐng)域，它利用先進(jìn)的計(jì)算和數(shù)據(jù)分析來(lái)理解和解決復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題。它已經(jīng)達(dá)到了一個(gè)預(yù)測(cè)能力的水平，現(xiàn)在它與傳統(tǒng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)和理論支柱相輔相成。探測(cè)器、在線傳感器網(wǎng)絡(luò)和高分辨率成像技術(shù)等實(shí)驗(yàn)技術(shù)的最新進(jìn)展為物理和生物過(guò)程的許多細(xì)節(jié)打開了新的窗口。由此產(chǎn)生的數(shù)據(jù)爆炸允許進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的數(shù)據(jù)驅(qū)動(dòng)建模和模擬。這門科學(xué)新學(xué)科結(jié)合了計(jì)算思維、現(xiàn)代計(jì)算方法、裝置和輔助技術(shù)，以解決遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出傳統(tǒng)數(shù)值方法范圍的問(wèn)題。計(jì)算科學(xué)通常將三個(gè)不同的元素結(jié)合在一起：?建模、算法和模擬（如數(shù)值和非數(shù)值、離散和連續(xù)）；?為解決科學(xué)（如生物、物理和社會(huì)）、工程、醫(yī)學(xué)和人文問(wèn)題而開發(fā)的軟件；?開發(fā)和優(yōu)化高級(jí)系統(tǒng)硬件、軟件、網(wǎng)絡(luò)和數(shù)據(jù)管理組件（如問(wèn)題解決環(huán)境）的計(jì)算機(jī)和信息科學(xué)。《計(jì)算科學(xué)雜志》的目標(biāo)是成為一個(gè)國(guó)際平臺(tái)，在所有科學(xué)學(xué)科的模擬科學(xué)中交流新的研究成果。它發(fā)表了先進(jìn)的創(chuàng)新性跨學(xué)科研究，解決了復(fù)雜的多尺度、多領(lǐng)域的科學(xué)和工程問(wèn)題，集成了復(fù)雜的數(shù)值方法、計(jì)算、數(shù)據(jù)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)和新型設(shè)備。該雜志歡迎在計(jì)算科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的原始、未發(fā)表的高質(zhì)量貢獻(xiàn)，涉及上述一個(gè)或多個(gè)要素。

Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computing and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.The recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, on-line sensor networks and high-resolution imaging techniques, have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data driven modeling and simulation.This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.Computational science typically unifies three distinct elements:? Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous);? Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems; ? Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).The Journal of Computational Science aims to be an international platform to exchange novel research results in simulation based science across all scientific disciplines. It publishes advanced innovative, interdisciplinary research where complex multi-scale, multi-domain problems in science and engineering are solved, integrating sophisticated numerical methods, computation, data, networks, and novel devices.The journal welcomes original, unpublished high quality contributions in the field of computational science at large, addressing one or more of the aforementioned elements.
