摘要
This special issue includes a collection of invited papers presented at the 20th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Plasmas(ICNSP),which took place from October 10-12,2007 in Austin,Texas,and at the traditional US-Japan Workshop on Simulation Science preceding the 20th ICNSP at the same location.The purpose of the biannual conference is to highlight major adv ances in computational plasma physics since the 19th ICNSP held in July,2005 in Nara,Japan.
