Addresses questions of the philosophy of computer use that cut across various specialities, providing examples to make these distinctions clear. Topics considered include numerical analysis, simulations, software, Fortran computer language, and hardware. Indicates that computers do more than analyze experimentors' data. (JN)

Examines present and future applications of computers in high-energy physics. Areas considered include high-energy physics laboratories, accelerators, detectors, networking, off-line analysis, software guidelines, event sizes and volumes, graphics applications, event simulation, theoretical studies, and future trends.

Scientists are designing computer models of biological systems, and of compounds with complex molecules, that can be used to get answers once obtainable only by sacrificing laboratory animals. Although most programs are still under development, some are in use by industrial/pharmaceutical companies. The programs and experiments they simulate are…
