Ergalics: A Natural Science of Computation

نویسنده

  • Richard T. Snodgrass
چکیده

If computer science is to truly become a “science,” as Newell, Perlis, and Simon originally conceived, then it must integrate three equally ascendant perspectives: mathematics, science, and engineering. The scientific perspective can help us to understand computational tools and computation itself, through the articulation of enduring, technology-independent principles that uncover new approaches and identify technology-independent limitations. This reorientation will yield an understanding of the tool developers and the tool users and will thus enable refinements and new tools that are more closely aligned with the innate abilities and limitations of those developers and users. Incorporating the scientific perspective, to augment the mathematical and engineering perspectives, necessitates that the discipline study different phenomena, seek a different understanding of computation, ask different questions, use different evaluative strategies, and interact in different ways with other disciplines. Doing so will add wonder, engagement, and excitement to our discipline.

A Mathematical Optimization Model for Solving Minimum Ordering Problem with Constraint Analysis and some Generalizations

In this paper, a mathematical method is proposed to formulate a generalized ordering problem. This model is formed as a linear optimization model in which some variables are binary. The constraints of the problem have been analyzed with the emphasis on the assessment of their importance in the formulation. On the one hand, these constraints enforce conditions on an arbitrary subgraph and then g...

Normalized Tenacity and Normalized Toughness of Graphs

In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters.  Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.
