From the reviews: "Computational science is concerned with designing computing models and techniques, and using computers to analyze and solve scientific and engineering problems. ... The book presents the collected papers of a conference organized by the International Association of Engineers ... . As with many conference-paper collections, the book seems to be geared toward scientists already armed with a general understanding of the topic. ... a researchers in a specific field will have no difficulty following a particular paper or subset of papers."
