Frontiers for computer science in computational science

ABSTRACT

Computational Science (CPLSC) is an emerging discipline characterized by interdisciplinary team efforts and high precision computing. Computer science is just one dimension of this new discipline.We describe the Clemson program focusing on three major issues: (i) what are the foundations of CPLSC, (ii) how are we to educate computer science students in CPLSC, and (iii) what role does computer science play in CPLSC research?
