Computer Simulation and Emergent Reliability in Science

Computer Simulation and Emergent Reliability in Science

While the popular image of scientists portrays them as objective, dispassionate observers of nature, actual scientists rarely are. It is not really known to what extent these individual departures from the scientific ideal effects the reliability of the scientific community. This paper suggests a number of concrete projects which help to determine this relationship.

Computer Science Problems in Astrophysical Simulation

This paper presents a survey of current work on N-body simulation in astrophysics. The goals of the paper are to present several computer science problems that arise in N-body simulation, and to show how cross disciplinary collaboration can enrich computer science.

Probability and statistics with reliability, queuing, and computer science applications

Simulation of Reliability in Multi-server Computer Networks

-The performance in terms of reliability of multi-server computer networks motivates this paper. The probability limit theorem is derived on the virtual waiting time of job in nodes in a multi-server open queueing network and applied to a reliability model for multi-server computer networks where we relate the time of failure of a multi-server computer network to the system parameters. Key-Word...

Connecting Computer Science and Sport: The Robocup Simulation League

RoboCup is a most challenging project in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agent Technology research. In this article, we will discuss some examples showing that RoboCup Simulation League scenarios can also be interesting in the interdisciplinary cooperation between computer science and sport science. One part of the paper concentrates on the generation of surrogate data which can ...
