  2. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    Many limits derived in terms of physical constants and abstract models of computation in computer science are loose. [12] Very few known limits directly obstruct leading-edge technologies, but many engineering obstacles currently cannot be explained by closed-form limits.

  3. On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Cruelty_of_Really...

    Despite the title, most of the article is on Dijkstra’s attempt to put computer science into a wider perspective within science, teaching being addressed as a corollary at the end. Specifically, Dijkstra made a “proposal for an introductory programming course for freshmen” that consisted of Hoare logic as an uninterpreted formal system .

    George Box. The phrase "all models are wrong" was first attributed to George Box in a 1976 paper published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association.In the paper, Box uses the phrase to refer to the limitations of models, arguing that while no model is ever completely accurate, simpler models can still provide valuable insights if applied judiciously. [2]

    This article is a list of notable unsolved problems in computer science. A problem in computer science is considered unsolved when no solution is known or when experts in the field disagree about proposed solutions.

  6. Distributed computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

    A Boolean circuit can be seen as a computer network: each gate is a computer that runs an extremely simple computer program. Similarly, a sorting network can be seen as a computer network: each comparator is a computer. Distributed algorithms in message-passing model. The algorithm designer only chooses the computer program.

  7. Computational complexity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    In theoretical computer science and mathematics, computational complexity theory focuses on classifying computational problems according to their resource usage, and explores the relationships between these classifications. A computational problem is a task solved by a computer.

  8. Man-Computer Symbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Computer_Symbiosis

    At the time of the publication of one paper, during 2004, there were very few computer applications known to the authors, which exhibited the qualities of computers identified by Licklider within his 1960 article, of being human-like with respect to being collaboratory and possessing the ability to communicate in human like ways.
