This book presents an approach to the subject that is centered upon the notion of computational artefact. It provides an analysis of the things of computer science as technical artefacts. Seeing them in this way enables the application of the analytical tools and concepts from the philosophy of technology to the technical artefacts of computer science. With this conceptual framework the author examines some of the central philosophical concerns of computer science including the foundations of semantics, the logical role of specification, the nature of correctness, computational ontology and abstraction, formal methods, computational epistemology and explanation, the methodology of computer science, and the nature of computation. The book will be of value to philosophers and computer scientists. 000844139 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000844139 650_0 $$aComputer science$$xPhilosophy. 000844139 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3662555646$$z9783662555644$$w(OCoLC)992780772 000844139 852__ $$bebk 000844139 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-662-55565-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000844139 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844139$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844139 980__ $$aEBOOK 000844139 980__ $$aBIB 000844139 982__ $$aEbook 000844139 983__ $$aOnline 000844139 994__ $$a92$$bISE
