Modern Trends Of Computation, Simulation, and Communication, And Their Impacts On The Progress Of Scientific And Engineering Research, Development, And Education

A short report on the modern trends of computation, simulation, and communication in the 1990s is presented, along with their impacts on the progress of scientific and engineering research, development, and education. A full description of this giant issue is certainly a mission impossiblefor the author. Nevertheless, it is the author's hope that it will at least give an overall view about what is going on in this very dynamic field in the advanced countries. After thinking globallythru reading this report, we should then decide on what and how to act locallyto respond to these global trends. The main source of information reported here were the computational science and engineering journals and books issued during the 1990s as listed in the references below
