Perspectives of the International Conference of Computational Science 2014.

Computational Science has enabled a raft of science that was either impossible, dangerous, or extremely expensive. It is arguably one of the most multi-disciplinary research endeavors, and draws on foundational work in mathematics and computer science. Computational Science has applicability in almost all scientific domains, and is now an essential tool in many of these. This special section contains extended papers originally published in proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2014), an annual event that promotes leading edge research.
