Query: Varying the explanatory span: scientific explanation for computer
  simulations   This article aims to develop a new account of scientific explanation for
computer simulations. To this end, two questions are answered: what is the
explanatory relation for computer simulations? and what kind of epistemic gain
should be expected? For several reasons tailored to the benefits and needs of
computer simulations, these questions are better answered within the
unificationist model of scientific explanation. Unlike previous efforts in the
literature, I submit that the explanatory relation is between the simulation
model and the results of the simulation. I also argue that our epistemic gain
goes beyond the unificationist account, encompassing a practical dimension as
well.
