Computer Simulations: an Inferential Conception
In this paper, I offer an inferential conception of computer simulations, emphasizing the role that simulations play as inferential devices to represent empirical phenomena. Three steps are involved in a simulation: an immersion step (from aspects of the empirical set up to the simulated model), a derivation step (that yields the relevant results), and an interpretation and correction step (tha...

The factory of the programs is created by students of the cybernetics department at KNU. A primary objective of this factory is the electronic presentation of the “Software engineering” textbook, created based on international programs “Curricula-2001” and intended for mastering of this discipline by students and acquiring knowledge on these fundamental aspects. It is used for implementation by...
متن کاملData Representation for Scientific Visualization: An Introduction
Given the very rapid increase in today’s computing power, scientists and researchers are able to collect ever larger repositories of data. A common way to explore and analyze this data is through visualization because of visualization’s ability to provide rapid insight into large amounts of data. Scientific visualization, an important field of computer graphics, enables scientists to depict dat...
متن کاملScientific Representation and Nominalism : an Empiricist View
Can a constructive empiricist make sense of scientific representation? Usually, a scientific model is an abstract entity (e.g., formulated in set theory), and scientific representation is conceptualized as an intentional relation between scientific models and certain aspects of the world. On this conception, since both the models and the representation relation are abstract, a constructive empi...
