Computational semantics is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with semantics meaning representations of natural language expressions. It consequently plays an important role in natural language processing and computational linguistics . Some traditional topics of interest are semantic analysis linguistics construction of meaning representation s, semantic underspecification , anaphora linguistics anaphora resolution, presupposition projection, and quantifier scope resolution. Methods employed usually draw from Formal semantics linguistics formal semantics or statistical semantics . Computational semantics has points of contact with the areas of lexical semantics word sense disambiguation and semantic role labeling , discourse semantics, knowledge representation and automated reasoning in particular, automated theorem proving .

for mathematical models of computers Model of computation Unreferenced date October 2008 A computational model is a mathematical model in computational science that requires extensive computational resource s to study the behavior of a complex system by computer simulation . The system under study is often a complex nonlinear system for which simple, intuitive analytical solution s are not readily available. Rather than deriving a mathematical analytical solution to the problem, experimentation with the model is done by adjusting the parameters of the system in the computer, and studying the differences in the outcome of the experiments. Operation theories of the model can be derived deduced from these computational experiments. Examples of common computational models are weather forecasting models, earth simulator models, flight simulator models, molecular protein folding models, and neural network models.

orphan date August 2010 cleanup date July 2010 In economics , elasticity economics elasticity is the ratio of the percent change in one variable to the percent change in another variable. Computational elasticity is the application of this concept to how computer systems scale with relation to temporal & monetary costs. The concept of computational elasticity is a particularly useful concept for comparing cloud computing platforms with relation to costs. An example question where the concept of computational elasticity is useful might include If the number of users on my website expands from 100 day to 1000000 day over the course of the next week, what will the cost be to ensure a fast page load? Cost is a function of the infrastructure the site runs on, which in turn is heavily influenced by the computational elasticity of the infrastructure. Infrastructure capable of rapidly accommodating this rapid increase in required computing power at low monetary & temporal cost has a high computational elasticity. Infrastructure that will require significant costs to handle this increase in required computing power has a low computational elasticity. Category Elasticity economics ... more details

Computational archaeology describes computer based analytical methods for the study of long term human behaviour and behavioural evolution. As with other sub disciplines that have prefixed computational to their name e.g. computational biology , computational physics and computationalsociology , the term is reserved for generally mathematical methods that could not realistically be performed without the aid of a computer. Computational archaeology may include the use of Geographic information system geographical information system s GIS , especially when applied to spatial analyses such as viewshed analysis and least cost path analysis as these approaches are sufficiently computationally complex that they are extremely difficult if not impossible to implement without the processing power of a computer. Likewise, some forms of statistical and mathematical mathematical model modelling , and the computer simulation of human behaviour and behavioural evolution using software tools such as Swarm simulation Swarm or Repast Modelling toolkit Repast would also be impossible to calculate without computational aid. The application of a variety of other forms of complex and bespoke software to solve archaeological problems, such as human perception and movement within built environments using software such as University College London University College London s Space Syntax program, also falls under the term computational archaeology . Computational archaeology is also known as archaeological informatics Burenhult 2002, Huggett and Ross 2004 or archaeoinformatics sometimes abbreviated as AI , but not to be confused with artificial intelligence .
