Information processing as a paradigm to model and simulate complex systems

“…This generates an additional understanding of the phenomenon and leads to more specific models of the phenomenon. It is an iterative and creative process [1][2][3] largely based on intuition and experience of the scientist. Fundamental questions arise: What is the right level of abstraction?…”

Young Russian researchers take up challenges in the computational sciences

“…This requires out-of-the-box and out-of-our-comfortzone thinking, something for which we place our bets on the young and upcoming scientists. From the inauguration of this journal we expressed the ambition to motivate and attract young researchers to work in this exciting field of 'computational thinking' [4].In 2011 we announced a competition for young scientists in the Russian Federation working in the field of computational science and supercomputing to present their most interesting research results. From the many submission received we selected 20 winners whom all received a ticket to Amsterdam and a stipend to present their work at the University of Amsterdam during the International Young Scientists Conference on Computational Science (YSC 2012) that lasted from April 2nd to 6th 2012 [5], see Fig.…”
