Sciences, computing, informatics: who is the keeper of the real faith?

چکیده
Computing, or informatics as we call it in Europe, covers many areas. In this paper we will discuss an important difference between two of these areas: software engineering and information systems. Epistemology, the study of the question: “What grounds can we justifiably have for believing the truth of assertions about reality?”, is complex in informatics. This question has different answers, depending on the area we investigate. Curricula in informatics do not discuss this difference explicitly. In our opinion, they should.

On the WZ Factorization of the Real and Integer Matrices
The textit{QIF} (Quadrant Interlocking Factorization) method of Evans and Hatzopoulos solves linear equation systems using textit{WZ} factorization. The WZ factorization can be faster than the textit{LU} factorization because, it performs the simultaneous evaluation of two columns or two rows. Here, we present a method for computing the real and integer textit{WZ} and textit{ZW} factoriz...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Risk Assessment Using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and Subtractive Clustering Algorithm
Introduction: The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a soft computing model based on neural network precision and fuzzy decision-making advantages, which can highly facilitate diagnostic modeling. In this study we used this model in breast cancer detection. Methodology: A set of 1,508 records on cancerous and non-cancerous participant’s risk factors was used. First,...
