Journal Title：Journal Of Computational Science

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).

計算科學是一個快速發(fā)展的多學科和跨學科領(lǐng)域，它使用先進的計算和數(shù)據(jù)分析來理解和解決復雜問題。它已經(jīng)達到了一定的預測能力水平，現(xiàn)在已成為傳統(tǒng)實驗和理論支柱的有力補充。

探測器、在線傳感器網(wǎng)絡和高分辨率成像技術(shù)等實驗技術(shù)的最新進展，為從多個細節(jié)層面觀察物理和生物過程打開了新的窗口。由此產(chǎn)生的數(shù)據(jù)爆炸允許進行詳細的數(shù)據(jù)驅(qū)動建模和模擬。

這門新的科學學科結(jié)合了計算思維、現(xiàn)代計算方法、設備和輔助技術(shù)，以解決遠遠超出傳統(tǒng)數(shù)值方法范圍的問題。

計算科學通常統(tǒng)一三個不同的元素：

? 建模、算法和模擬（例如數(shù)值和非數(shù)值、離散和連續(xù)）；

? 為解決科學（例如生物、物理和社會）、工程、醫(yī)學和人文問題而開發(fā)的軟件；

? 開發(fā)和優(yōu)化先進系統(tǒng)硬件、軟件、網(wǎng)絡和數(shù)據(jù)管理組件（例如問題解決環(huán)境）的計算機和信息科學。

Journal Of Computational Science創(chuàng)刊于2010年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS - COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEORY & METHODS全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
