Synopses & Reviews
Computational models provide us with opportunities to create a simulated environment to construct and understand the intricacies of the real world problems. They allow us to apply our best analytical methods to subject problems defined in a clearly mathematical manner and enable us to test our designs in full before committing expensive resources to their production. This book provides a window to the novel endeavours of the research communities to present their works by highlighting the value of computational modelling as a research tool when investigating complex systems.
