abstract:Computational science and engineering (CSE) is a relatively new discipline that deals with the development and application of computational models and simulations, often coupled with high-performance computing, to solve complex physical problems arising in engineering analysis and design (computational engineering) as well as natural phenomena (computational science). CSE has been described as the "third mode of discovery" (next to theory and experimentation).
The Center for Computational Materials ScienceandEngineering Data is an effort by ASM International to define protocols collecting, disseminating, and managing materials data.
