Describes work in progress to develop a standard for interoperability among high-
performance scientific components. This research stems from the growing recognition that …

The Model Coupling Toolkit (MCT) is a software library for constructing parallel coupled
models from individual parallel models. MCT was created to address the challenges of …

The Common Component Architecture (CCA) provides a means for software developers to
manage the complexity of large-scale scientific simulations and to move toward a plug-and …

With the increasing availability of high-performance massively parallel computer systems,
the prevalence of sophisticated scientific simulation has grown rapidly. The complexity of the …

The early development of systems theory was closely linked to the formalisation of water
resources systems. These were originally visualised as relatively complex networks …

High-performance computer simulations are an increasingly popular alternative or
complement to physical experiments or prototypes. However, as these simulations grow …

The success of the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) depends on the
production of an ever-improving series of comprehensive scientific models describing the …

We explore computational approaches for artificial agents to play the ultimatum game. We
compare our agents' behavior with that predicted by classical game theory, as well as …

The authors discuss problems and solutions pertaining to the interaction of components
representing parallel applications. We introduce the notion of a collective port which is an …

The profound human-centric dominance in the Anthropocene has created changes in land
use, biomes, climate, food networks, economies, and social communities, which in turn have …
