The improvement in geology and the progress in computer technology have provided geo-science with entirely new possibilities in recent years. Embedding modeling and simulation allow easy handling of structural geological data which is of enormous value. But an essential problem in geo-technology, is still the workflow oriented execution of extremely large and heterogeneous data, whose time, space, thematic and scale references are integral part of knowledge in the database management systems. Computational modeling and simulation (CMS) grow with the diversity in geo-science. CMS in this context incur the feature of a general problem solver, based on exploitable options of knowledge. But knowledge is geared to the past, certainty to the future. Knowledge is based on experience, certainty is the conviction being able making relevant predictions, but both are of central importance for the geo-science application domains, which often require geometrical component representations for analytical solution. Due to the specific requirements of the several application domains CMS become a very helpful approach. But, one has to bear in mind that a model which might support differential geometry very well, may lack the ability to interpolate complex geometry, while another model may fit better while lacking in terms of differentiability, respectively.
