Metascientific and philosophical reasons to define the status of computer science

详细

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.
