Since the dawn of computing, the quest for a better understanding of Nature has been a driving force for technological development. Groundbreaking achievements by great scientists have paved the way from the abacus to the supercomputing power of today. When trying to replicate Nature in the computer’s silicon test tube, there is need for precise and computable process descriptions. The scienti?c ?elds of Ma- ematics and Physics provide a powerful vehicle for such descriptions in terms of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Formulated as such equations, physical laws can become subject to computational and analytical studies. In the computational setting, the equations can be discreti ed...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 22, held in Sunderland, UK in July 2005. The 16 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper and the abstract of an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on spatio-temporal databases, data integration and information retrieval, XML, and applied information management.
