SUMMARY:Fernbach Award Presentation - The Roles of Computing in the Advanc
 ement of Science:  A Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Linda Petzold (University of California, Santa Barbara)\n\nSto
 chasticity plays an important role in many biological processes.  At the s
 ame time, algorithms and software for discrete stochastic simulation have 
 advanced to the point where not only simulation of well-mixed systems, but
  spatial stochastic simulation on 3D complex geometries can be performed w
 ith accuracy and reliability.  A few years ago we embarked on a quest to b
 uild a unified software environment, StochSS, to enable biologists to easi
 ly harness the power of these tools.  We envisioned that users might build
  an ODE model or discrete stochastic model on a laptop, and scale it up to
  increasing levels of complexity, accessing tools such as those mentioned 
 above, and deploying computing resources from the cloud with the push of a
  button when they are needed.  As the capabilities of StochSS have grown, 
 so has our vision of the roles that computing can play in the advancement 
 of science.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg
