Preface

The role of computation and simulation to support reseach activities in sciences and technologies becomes more important in recent decades. The International Conference on Computation in Science and Engineering (ICCSE) 2019 have been conducted in Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) campus, Bandung, Indonesia, at 14-15 October 2019. This conference is organized by Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB, Indonesia). This conference aims at summarizing recent research activities relevant to the computation application in science and engineering and facilitate communication among relevant experts. More than 50 persons from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Turkey, and some other countries will participate in this conference. About 50 presentations including 8 plenary talk will be presented. The presentations are grouped into 12 areas of particular interest: (1) : Complex system Modelling, (2): Energy System Computation, (3): Fluid Dynamics Computation, (4): Artificial Intelligent and Soft Computing, (5): High Energy Physics, (6): Simulation in general, (7): Quantum Computation, (8) HPC, (9): Material Computation, (10): Sub surface modelling and computation, (11): Nuclear and Radiation Computation, and (12): Atmospheric and meteorological computation. List of Organizer, Editorial Board, Contact are available in this pdf.

Material Computation for a New Equilibrium in Architecture

Morphogenesis defines the schema of natural material formations as a set of merging self-organized behaviours, rules, relative forces, and limits of materialization that analytically characterize a spatial arrangement within a specific environment for achieving an equilibrium state. However, in architecture, material organization, which acts as a threshold to space, has always been treated as a secondary component in design processes. This attitude has reduced the capability to generate an architecture that is intelligently aware of its functionality and of its environment. Transforming computational models of biological systems into the computational logic of material organization found in architecture would produce an architecture that is a product of full interactions between those material logics and space. This inquiry elaborates a set of biological computational frameworks to cultivate stratified developments of knowledge-based architectural prototypes of complex hybrid-structure material morphologies as contextual schemata

Oedometric compression of a granular material: computation of energies involved during breakage with a discrete element modelling

A numerical model able to simulate the grain breakage with the discrete element method, using the “Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics” is presented. The model reproduces 3D grains having complex shapes and is tested in single grain and in oedometric compressions. Numerical simulations are then carried out to evaluate the different energies active during breakage (surface creation and redistribution energies). The surface creation energy is estimated. Results are closed to the ones found in the literature.

Paramateriality: Novel Biodigital Manifolds

In this chapter Marcos Cruz suggests a new way of biointegrated design which explores non-building, unthinkable novel materials that are products of in-vivo research on living organisms and forms that are physically built and yield new aesthetics, resulting from novel hybrid techniques of production. Nonhuman creativity comes from this new aesthetics and from the in-vitro mathematical systems and material computation that run parallel. Not only a new aesthetics is put forward, but also a new way of dealing with environmental issues, critical to future living. The chapter dwells on the shift from the performance of materials to their performativity, as a way of explaining the interactivity between materials and their broader ecology. Moreover, through his work as teacher and as practising architect, the author illustrates how nature itself is potentially programmable matter.
