Evolution of the computational science community: The dynamics of topics and collaborations in 24 years of ICCS and JoCS publications
We analyze the topic structure of 10,299 publications from the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS) between 2001 and 2024 as well as the Journal of Computational Science (JoCS) between 2010 and 2023, using natural language processing techniques and network analysis. The computational science classification corpus was created into 15 main disciplines and 256 sub-disciplines sourced from Wikipedia. Among the 15 main disciplines, machine learning became the most popular topic after 2019, surpassing parallel & distributed computing, which peaked in the early 2010s. ICCS and JoCS show differences in research popularity in both first and second-level disciplines. Algorithm theory, Mathematical modeling, and network science are the most dominant topics in both ICCS and JoCS. Different disciplines present different trends in ICCS and JoCS. In the past 24 years, machine learning related topics have gained the most attention in both ICCS and JoCS. We also examined and compared the correlation between the trends in ICCS and Google search Trends. The collaboration of disciplinary networks of second-level disciplines exhibits a scale-free characteristic, and the network structures have undergone significant evolution over 24 years. Moreover, different disciplinary communities exhibit different ”introverted” and ”extroverted” community characteristics within the network. Additionally, we examined the life span of thematic workshops and the evolution of authors’ collaborations inside and after ICCS.
期刊介绍:
Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computing and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.
The recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, on-line sensor networks and high-resolution imaging techniques, have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data driven modeling and simulation.
This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.
Computational science typically unifies three distinct elements:
• Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous);
• Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems;
• Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).
