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sophisticated numerical methods, computation, data, networks, and novel devices.The journal welcomes original, unpublished high quality contributions in the field of computational science at large, addressing one or more of the aforementioned elements.

計算科學是一個快速發展的多學科交叉領域，它利用先進的計算和數據分析來理解和解決復雜的問題。它已經達到了一個預測能力的水平，現在它與傳統的實驗和理論支柱相輔相成。探測器、在線傳感器網絡和高分辨率成像技術等實驗技術的最新進展為物理和生物過程的許多細節打開了新的窗口。由此產生的數據爆炸允許進行詳細的數據驅動建模和模擬。這門科學新學科結合了計算思維、現代計算方法、裝置和輔助技術，以解決遠遠超出傳統數值方法范圍的問題。計算科學通常將三個不同的元素結合在一起：?建模、算法和模擬（如數值和非數值、離散和連續）；?為解決科學（如生物、物理和社會）、工程、醫學和人文問題而開發的軟件；?開發和優化高級系統硬件、軟件、網絡和數據管理組件（如問題解決環境）的計算機和信息科學?！队嬎憧茖W雜志》的目標是成為一個國際平臺，在所有科學學科的模擬科學中交流新的研究成果。它發表了先進的創新性跨學科研究，解決了復雜的多尺度、多領域的科學和工程問題，集成了復雜的數值方法、計算、數據、網絡和新型設備。該雜志歡迎在計算科學領域的原始、未發表的高質量貢獻，涉及上述一個或多個要素。
