  • First Online:
Scientific Computing and Algorithms in Industrial Simulations

Abstract

The Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing SCAI, together with its forerunner institutes, will be 50 years old in 2018. This means that a large part of the development of information technology has been accompanied by SCAI. And at least on the software and the algorithmic side, SCAI has contributed substantially to this development.
