Interactive Computation

The New Paradigm

Herausgegeben: Goldin, Dina; Smolka, Scott A.; Wegner, Peter

Beschreibung

The interaction paradigm is a new conceptualization of computational phenomena that emphasizes interaction over algorithms, reflecting the shift from number-crunching on mainframes to distributed intelligent networks with graphical user interfaces. It challenges traditional answers to questions of problem solving and the scope of computation.
