This book discusses various aspects of computational science and engineering in combination with applied science. It highlights sustainability to demonstrate how computation can improve different aspects of life. The editors provide a collection of numerous computation-related projects that form a foundation from which to cross-pollinate between different disciplines and further extensive collaboration. They present a clear and profound understanding of computing in today's world. The detailed application examples provide the reader with contributions that behold approaches to provide fundamental solutions to some of the most pertinent humanity-related problems.
