There is a need for hierarchical computations for conceptual design, which will require knowledge of new developments in computer science.

On the other hand, the apparatus is so cheap and simple to use that it may be feasible to run several independent systems in parallel. The obvious analogy is between a hierarchical computer system linked to a mainframe and a series of dedicated microcomputers. Also the cheapness, speed and simplicity of non-segmented systems make them attractive for a small number of determinations, less than would be considered viable with Autoanalysers. 

The advantages of accuracy and computational efficiency of the different levels of theory outlined above can be realized through a hierarchical computational approach that links QM calculations with MS/MC/MD and KMC simulations. Such a hierarchical approach is illustrated in Fig. 1. The...

Multi-scale modeling provides a hierarchical computational approach to describe macroscopic catalytic processes. In this approach, atomistic methods (first principle quantum chemistry calculations and classical molecular dynamics) are used which reveal microscopic insight into the meehanisms and molecular-scale dynamics of reactions at electrode surfaces (for e.g. see [15,... 

The winch continuously controls and minimizes the traction force and torque exerted on the vehicle by the cable. It is located about 6 m above the upper part of the slab. In the event of emergency it can extract the vehicle from the space between the tanks. Control of the MIR system is achieved by a hierarchical computer system. A microprocessor carries out elementary orders and checks.
