Computational Artifacts by Raymond Turner Book PDF Summary

The philosophy of computer science is concerned with issues that arise from reflection upon the nature and practice of the discipline of computer science. This book presents an approach to the subject that is centered upon the notion of computational artefact. It provides an analysis of the things of computer science as technical artefacts. Seeing them in this way enables the application of the analytical tools and concepts from the philosophy of technology to the technical artefacts of computer science. With this conceptual framework the author examines some of the central philosophical concerns of computer science including the foundations of semantics, the logical role of specification, the nature of correctness, computational ontology and abstraction, formal methods, computational epistemology and explanation, the methodology of computer science, and the nature of computation. The book will be of value to philosophers and computer scientists.

It Began with Babbage

It Began with Babbage by Subrata Dasgupta

As a field, computer science occupies a unique scientific space, in that its subject matter can exist in both physical and abstract realms. An artifact such as software is both tangible and not, and must be classified as something in between, or "liminal." The study and production of liminal artifacts

The Second Age of Computer Science

The Second Age of Computer Science by Subrata Dasgupta

By the end of the 1960s, a new discipline named computer science had come into being. A new scientific paradigm--the 'computational paradigm'--was in place, suggesting that computer science had reached a certain level of maturity. Yet as a science it was still precociously young. New forces, some technological, some socio-economic,

Makeology

Makeology by Kylie Peppler,Erica Rosenfeld Halverson,Yasmin B. Kafai

Makeology introduces the emerging landscape of the Maker Movement and its connection to interest-driven learning. While the movement is fueled in part by new tools, technologies, and online communities available to today’s makers, its simultaneous emphasis on engaging the world through design and sharing with others harkens back to

Explaining the Computational Mind

Explaining the Computational Mind by Marcin Miłkowski

In this work, Marcin Milkowski argues that the mind can be explained computationally because it is itself computational - whether it engages in mental arithmetic, parses natural language, or processes the auditory signals that allow us to experience music.

Theories and Practice in Interaction Design

Theories and Practice in Interaction Design by Sebastiano Bagnara,Gillian Crampton Smith

Ad hoc and interdisciplinary, the field of interaction design claims no unified theory. Yet guidelines are needed. In essays by 26 major thinkers and designers, this book presents the rich mosaic of ideas which nourish the lively art of interaction design. The editors introduction is a critical survey of interaction design
