§07§This inaugural volume focuses on original high-quality research in Computational Science. It covers computer systems research with an emphasis on core computational science issues and the development of novel computational techniques. §16§We would like to present, with great pleasure, the inaugural volume of a new scholarly journal, Transactions on Computational Science. This journal is part of the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and is devoted to the gamut of computational science issues, from theoretical aspects to application-dependent studies and the validation of emerging technologies. This new journal was envisioned and founded to represent the growing needs of computational science as an emerging and increasingly vital field, now widely recognized as an integral part of scientific and technical investigations. Its mission is to become a voice of the computational science community, addressing researchers and practitioners in areas ranging from aerospace to biochemistry, from electronics to geosciences, from mathematics to software architecture, presenting verifiable computational methods, findings, and solutions. Transactions on Computational Science focuses on original high-quality resear §16§ch in the realm of computational science in parallel and distributed environments, encompassing facilitation of the theoretical foundations and the applications of lar- scale computations to massive data processing. The Journal is intended as a forum for practitioners and researchers to share computational techniques and solutions in the area, to identify new issues and to shape future directions for research, while industrial users may apply techniques of leading-edge, large-scale, high-performance computational methods. §04§1 - Information Systems Design.- Formalization of Data Flow Computing and a Coinductive Approach to Verifying Flowware Synthesis.- Partners Selection in Multi-Agent Systems by Using Linear and Non-linear Approaches.- Topology Representing Network Map - A New Tool for Visualization of High-Dimensional Data.- Curve Fitting by Fractal Interpolation.- Building Fuzzy Inference Systems with a New Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Toolbox.- 2 - Data Processing and Industrial Applications.- Comparative Analysis of Electrocardiogram Data by Means of Temporal Locality Approach with Additional Normalization.- Missing Value Imputation Based on Data Clustering.- Laminar Forced Convection in Circular Duct for Power-Law Fluid.- The Homotopy Wiener-Hermite Expansion and Perturbation Technique (WHEP).
