What is Computational Finance?

There is no exact definition of computational finance. Basically, it refers to researches which use advanced computing techniques, such as computational intelligence, to studying problems in economics and finance. One area of research in computational finance is to use genetic programming (a branch of evolutionary computation, which borrows its ideas from natural selection) to financial forecasting.

Another area of research is to build models of financial markets to enable policy makers or banks to ask "what if" questions; this allows one to design new market mechanisms (as one would wind-tunnel test aircraft designs). For more information, see Tsang and Martinez-Jaramillo's paper in IEEE CIS Newsletter Vol2, No. 3, August 2004.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
