Some of the most challenging problems in science and engineering are being addressed by the integration of computation and science, a research ?eld known as computational science. Computational science plays a vital role in fundamental advances in biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and a host of other disciplines. This is through the coordination of computation, data management, access to instrumentation, knowledge synthesis, and the use of new devices. It has an impact on researchers and practitioners in the sciences and beyond. The sheer size of many challenges in computational science dictates the use of supercomputing, parallel and distri- ted processing, grid-based processing, advanced visualization and sophisticated algorithms. At the dawn of the 21st century the series of International Conferences on Computational Science (ICCS) was initiated with a ?rst meeting in May 2001 in San Francisco. The success of that meeting motivated the organization of the - cond meeting held in Amsterdam April 21–24, 2002, where over 500 participants pushed the research ?eld further. The International Conference on Computational Science 2003 (ICCS 2003) is the follow-up to these earlier conferences. ICCS 2003 is unique, in that it was a single event held at two di?erent sites almost opposite each other on the globe – Melbourne, Australia and St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. The conference ran on the same dates at both locations and all the presented work was published in a single set of proceedings, which you hold in your hands right now.

RAWAT, Pwho began his education in his native India
received a Bachelor of Technology degree with honors from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1957. His subsequent education includes S. M.‘s in Industrial Management and Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering from M. I. T. in 1961 and a professional degree in Naval Architecture from the same institution in 1965. Rawat's career began as a Naval Architect in preliminary design with the Hamburg firm of Howladtswerke in 1958. A year later he performed as a research assistant in M. I. T.'s School of Industrial Management for a Ford Foundation Project for a top management training program for India. After this two-year period he acted as the head of the Department Head of Engineering at the Ghana Nautical College in West Africa until 1963. He returned to M. I. T. afterwards to work as a research assistant in Naval Architecture on structural optimization programs. From 1965 to 1966 he filled the capacity of Naval Architecture with M. Rosenblatt & Son in the area of structural design on such projects as MOHOLE AGOR 14 and Catamaran Hull. Since 1966 Rawat has been working in various capacities with Litton Industries: Senior Naval Architect on the FDL Project Section Manager of Hull Structures for the LHA and DD Projects
and his present position as Section Manager for Computer Aided Ship Design.

Many useful conclusions can be drawn if hull structural design is considered as a system. Proper definition of system objectives enables setting up of meaningful long range and intermediate goals. Current state-of-art in systems engineering is such that the system objectives can be denned in mathematical form. This provides meaningful scales for progress measurement. The engineering function is to meet the goals set by systems engineering. The state-of-art in engineering has a considerable impact on the definition of system objectives. In recent times we have made considerable progress in developing analytical techniques. Many interesting conclusions result from our experience in using the analytical tools in an iterative manner for design. By using relatively simple algorithms for iteration the analytical processes can be sequenced in such a manner that optimum solution is guaranteed even under a large and complex set of design constraints. Use of computers makes it possible to generate the scantlings using iterative approach with such speed that many important structural configuration decisions can be made by means of thorough parametric analyses. The system objectives therefore are very different in scope today and they should be further modified as technology advances. There are several problems that can be recognized and solved in the systems context. Smooth man-machine operation is an example of this.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Social Robotics, ICSR 2011, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in November 2011. The 23 revised full papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 51 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on social interaction with robots; nonverbal interaction with social robots; robots in society; social robots in education; affective interaction with social robots; robots in the home.
