Metascientific and philosophical reasons to define the status of computer science
Viktor A. Kanke · Automatic Documentation and Mathematical Linguistics · 2017
The basic terms of metascience and philosophy of science are considered. In their context, we give the definitions of science, a field of science, and two adjacent sciences in relation to computer science: mathematics and technology. We determine the status of computer science as a formal field of science, which consists of theories, in each of which the following constructive conceptual transition is accomplished: the principles of algorithmic computations–programming paradigms–programs–running programs on computers.
