Challenges in Mimicking Complex Systems: Modeling and Simulation in Biology

School
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Modeling and simulation became popular as scientific tools after World War II, although their origins go back to Plato's Allegory of the Cave. In the modern era, computer modeling and simulation have become indispensable in many disciplines. A list of sciences that make extensive use of computer simulations includes astrophysics, particle physics, materials science, engineering, fluid mechanics, climate science, evolutionary biology, ecology, economics, decision theory, medicine, and society. Science, epidemiology, and many others. Extensive models and simulations have gone through their evolutionary process in a very short time, and a wide r ...
