Guest Editorial Special Issue on Grand Challenges for Modeling and Simulation

摘要

"One of the better aspects of human nature is our drive to seek out and conquer challenges. We seem imbued with a desire to formulate problems of the highest degree of difficulty and then to relentlessly pursue their solution. The identification and pursuit of Grand Challenges has been a hallmark of the high-performance computing arena for over a decade. In recent years, many other technical communities have defined Grand Challenge problems for their disciplines. While Grand Challenges themselves provide a useful focal point for research and development activities within a discipline, perhaps more important is the community dialogue that surrounds the formulation of Grand Challenge problems."
