About Us

CCS-5 investigates and develops innovative and advanced-concept simulation-based applications, computational and complexity theory, design and analysis of efficient algorithms, and combinatorial techniques in data mining. The group’s major projects include TRANSIMS, EPISIMS, and UPMOST.

Vision

CCS-5 will be the lead applied math and computer science Group at LANL for scientific and engineering foundations of simulation of socio-technical systems.

Mission

We will develop and apply unique technical and programmatic capabilities in simulation- based socio-technical systems representation, experiments, design, and analysis.

Teams

     —Math Foundations - Sequential Dynamic Systems

     —Theoretical Computer Science

     —Large High Performance Computing & Theory-Based Simulation Applications

Goals

To be the lead computer science group at Los Alamos National Laboratory for scientific and engineering foundations necessary to design large-scale simulations of socio-technical systems—systems that have both a physical/technical component and human component, for example, transportation networks, communication networks and electric power networks.

To be the liaison between Computer and Computational Sciences Division (CCS) in Nuclear Weapons Programs Directorate and the Decision Applications Division (D) in the Threat Reduction Directorate.

Working with Us

CCS-DSS invites partnerships in basic and applied simulation science and advanced computing.
