A Framework for Multiscale and Multiscience Modeling and Numerical Simulations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6714))

Abstract

The Complex Automata (CxA) methodology offers a new framework to develop multiscale and multiscience numerical simulations. The CxA approach assumes that a multiscale model can be formulated in terms of several coupled single-scale submodels. With concepts such as the scale separation map, the generic submodel execution loop and the coupling templates, one can define a multiscale modeling language which is a bridge between the application design and the computer implementation.
