The LNCS journal Transactions on Computational Science reflects recent developments in the field of Computational Science, conceiving the field not as a mere ancillary science but rather as an innovative approach supporting many other scientific disciplines.

Large-scale open distributed systems provide an infrastructure for assembling global applications on the basis of software and hardware components originating from multiple sources.

Peer-to-peer has emerged as a promising new paradigm for large-scale distributed computing.

Communities are groupings of distributed objects that are capable of com- nicating, directly or indirectly, through the medium of a shared context.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous public attention, spurred by the popularity of file-sharing systems such as Napster, Gnutella, and Morpheus.
