Although scientific models and simulations differ in numerous ways,
they are similar in so far as they are posing essentially
philosophical problems about the nature of representation. This
collection is designed to bring together some of the best work on
the nature of representation being done by both established senior
philosophers of science and younger researchers. Most of the
pieces, while appealing to existing traditions of scientific
representation, explore new types of questions, such as: how
understanding can be developed within computational science; how
the format of representations matters for their use, be it for the
purpose of research or education; how the concepts of emergence and
supervenience can be further analyzed by taking into account
computational science; or how the emphasis upon tractability--a
particularly important issue in computational science--sheds new
light on the philosophical analysis of scientific reasoning.
