Trends in computational engineering

Abstract This article presents the author's views on computational engineering. This is an emerging branch of the applied sciences shaped by the interaction of engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences, and paced by present advances in software technology and computer hardware. Impact of these advances on various aspects of engineering software are discussed, and predictions as to future effects are ventured. An annotated multidisciplinary reference list is provided for curious readers.
