Simulation and Similarity
This book is an account of modeling and idealization in modern scientific practice, focusing on concrete, mathematical, and computational models. The main topics of this book are the nature of models, the practice of modeling, and the nature of the relationship between models and real-world phenomena. In order to elucidate the model/world relationship, Weisberg develops a novel account of similarity called weighted feature matching.

Release Date: 2020-07-31
The present book includes a set of selected best extended papers from the 9th International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications (SIMULTECH 2019), that was held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 29 to 31 July 2019. The conference brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in methodologies and applications of modeling and simulation. New and innovative solutions are reported in this book. A selection was made after the conference, based also on the conference chairs assessment, reviewers’ assessment, quality of presentation, and audience interest, so that this book includes the extended and revised versions of the very best papers of the conference. New and innovative solutions are reported in this book.
Science in the Age of Computer Simulation
Author: Eric Winsberg

Release Date: 2010-10-30
"Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity, but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice? How do simulations compare to traditional experiments? And are they reliable? Scrutinizing these issues with a philosophical lens, Eric Winsberg explores the impact of simulation on such issues as the nature of scientific evidence, the role of values in science, the nature and role of fictions in science, and the relationship between simulation and experiment, theories and data, and theories at different levels of description"--Cover.
