Abstract
Computer simulation is described as a comprehensive method for studying materials and materials systems. Computational methods used on different length and time scales for the simulation of materials structures and behavior are described along with process features involved in the implementation, verification, and validation of computer simulations. Computer simulation in the context of integrated computational materials engineering as this relates to the materials genome initiative concept for materials innovation and advanced materials development and deployment is discussed.
