This book addresses key conceptual issues relating to the modern scientific and engineering use
of computer simulations. It analyses a broad set of questions from the nature of computer
simulations to their epistemological power including the many scientific social and ethics
implications of using computer simulations. The book is written in an easily accessible
narrative one that weaves together philosophical questions and scientific technicalities. It
will thus appeal equally to all academic scientists engineers and researchers in industry
interested in questions (and conceivable answers) related to the general practice of computer
simulations.
