As computing systems get more complex, there is no way for a human to understand the entire system at once. To build complex systems, we need techniques for managing complexity.

Computing and automation will only continue to grow. The time is soon coming where basic computational thinking and the ability to develop software will be considered a basic skill necessary …

A variety of concrete and abstract models of parallel computers were developed, ranging from VLSI-based models to the parallel random-access machine (PRAM), a collection of synchronous …

Standard Model of Computing Turns out that the optimizations of modern computing systems do not create genuine new capabilities

That chapter describes the intellectual supernova that the theory of computing has created and continues to shape. It reveals the broad reach of ToC to all sciences, technology, and society, and …

Nearly all of the most exciting and important technologies, arts, and sci-ences of today and tomorrow are driven by computing. Understanding computing illuminates deep insights and questions into the …
