Young Russian researchers take up challenges in the computational sciences

摘要

The sheer complexity and range of spatial and temporal scales on which natural and anthropogenic systems seem to operate defies any existing numerical model or computational capacity. The only way out is by combining data on all levels of detail. This is an open research area. The challenges include understanding how one can reconstruct multi-level systems and their dynamics that connect models to massive sets of heterogeneous and often incomplete data. Conceptual, theoretical and methodological foundations are necessary for understanding these multi-scale processes and associated predictability limits of such large scale computer simulations.
