The area of application includes natural systems – such as biology, environ- mentalandgeo-sciences,physics,andchemistry–andsyntheticsystemssuchas electronics and financial and economic systems. The discipline is a bridge bet- ween ‘classical’ computer science – logic, complexity, architecture, algorithms – mathematics, and the use of computers in the aforementioned areas. The relevance for society stems from the numerous challenges that exist in thevariousscienceandengineeringdisciplines,whichcanbetackledbyadvances madeinthisfield.Forinstancenewmodelsandmethodstostudyenvironmental issueslikethequalityofair,water,andsoil,andweatherandclimatepredictions through simulations, as well as the simulation-supported development of cars, airplanes, and medical and transport systems etc. Paraphrasing R. Kenway (R.D. Kenway, Contemporary Physics. 1994): ‘Thereisanimportantmessagetoscientists,politicians,andindustrialists:inthe future science, the best industrial design and manufacture, the greatest medical progress, and the most accurate environmental monitoring and forecasting will bedonebycountriesthatmostrapidlyexploitthefullpotentialofcomputational science’. Nowadays we have access to high-end computer architectures and a large range of computing environments, mainly as a consequence of the enormous sti- mulus from the various international programs on advanced computing, e.g. HPCC (USA), HPCN (Europe), Real-World Computing (Japan), and ASCI (USA: Advanced Strategie Computing Initiative). The sequel to this, known as‘grid-systems’and‘grid-computing’,willboostthecomputer,processing,and storage power even further. Today’s supercomputing application may be tomor- row’s desktop computing application. The societal and industrial pulls have given a significant impulse to the rewriting of existing models and software. This has resulted among other things in a big ‘clean-up’ of often outdated software and new programming paradigms and verification techniques. With this make-up of arrears the road is paved for thestudyofrealcomplexsystemsthroughcomputersimulations,andlargescale problemsthathavelongbeenintractablecannowbetackled.However,thedeve- lopment of complexity reducing algorithms, numerical algorithms for large data sets, formal methods and associated modeling, as well as representation (i.e. visualization) techniques are still in their infancy. Deep understanding of the approachesrequiredtomodelandsimulateproblemswithincreasingcomplexity and to efficiently exploit high performance computational techniques is still a big scientific challenge. VI Preface TheInternationalConferenceonComputationalScience(ICCS)seriesofcon- ferences was started in May 2001 in San Francisco. The success of that meeting motivatedtheorganizationofthemeetingheldinAmsterdamfromApril21–24, 2002. Thesethreevolumes(LectureNotesinComputerSciencevolumes2329,2330, and 2321) contain the proceedings of the ICCS 2002 meeting.

The conference was organized by The University of Amsterdam, Section ComputationalScience(http://www.science.uva.nl/research/scs/),SHARCNET, Canada(http://www.sharcnet.com),andtheInnovativeComputingLaboratory at The University of Tennessee. The conference included 22 workshops, 7 keynote addresses, and over 350 contributed papers selected for oral presentation. Each paper was refereed by at least two referees.
