Theme MSV: Modelling, Simulation and Visualization
An important challenge for computer science is the
creation in a computer of virtual worlds in such a way
that by studying the virtual world new insight in reality
is gained. One may think of the design of engineering
structures, the design of new molecules, the modeling of
physical and biological processes, the design and
simulation of electronic networks, the imitation of
mechanical processes such as in robotics, the design of
production processes, the simulation of parts of the
human body to aid virtual surgery, etc. Furthermore,
virtual worlds are being used more and more in
entertainment, such as with computer games and digital
movies.
The three main research questions
for this theme concern
- how to build models of the part of
reality to be simulated that adequately
and accurately capture important
properties of form, structure and behavior,
- how to design algorithms and software
for implementing the model on the
computer such that the simulation
becomes feasible with respect to
turn around time and memory use, and
- how to visualize the results of
the computer simulations in an
efficient, realistic and appealing
way for non-expert (software) users.
The Modelling, Simulation and Visualization (MSV) theme
is extensive and a considerable number of disciplines
from the computer sciences and mathematical sciences are
relevant.
