Computer simulations build on, and are a useful adjunct to purely mathematical models in science, technology and entertainment.

The central thesis is that the process of simulation modeling takes the form of an explorative cooperation between experimenting and modeling. This characteristic mode of modeling turns simulations ...

New computer models predict the risk of side effects from heart drugs more accurately than animal models. Researchers from the University of Oxford (UK) have developed computer simulations that are ...

Pushing computer science boundaries While simulations of heart cells can run in a few minutes, 3D computer models of the whole heart still require a huge amount of computational power.

But research shows computer simulations of the heart have the potential to improve drug development for patients and reduce the need for animal testing.

Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests. A study found that people who used computer simulations ...

Computational modeling and simulation of nanomaterials strongly complement physical experiments. They enable the prediction of characteristics and processes under conditions difficult to replicate or ...

The problem of validating computer simulation models of industrial systems has received only limited attention in the management science literature. The purpose of this paper is to consider the ...

AI-based computer modeling and simulations could improve enterprise productivity, reduce waste and lead to better, smarter outcomes. So why aren't we doing more of this?
