  2. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1][2][3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). [4][5][6] Algorithms and data structures are central to ...

  3. Computer vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision

    Computer vision covers the core technology of automated image analysis which is used in many fields. Machine vision usually refers to a process of combining automated image analysis with other methods and technologies to provide automated inspection and robot guidance in industrial applications.

  4. von Neumann architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture

    The von Neumann architecture —also known as the von Neumann model or Princeton architecture —is a computer architecture based on a 1945 description by John von Neumann, and by others, in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. [1]

  5. Abstraction (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_(computer_science)

    Abstraction (computer science) In software engineering and computer science, abstraction is the process of generalizing concrete details, [1] such as attributes, away from the study of objects and systems to focus attention on details of greater importance. [2] Abstraction is a fundamental concept in computer science and software engineering, especially within the object-oriented programming ...

  6. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulation is the running of a mathematical model on a computer, the model being designed to represent the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict.

  7. History of computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_science

    The history of computer science began long before the modern discipline of computer science, usually appearing in forms like mathematics or physics. Developments in previous centuries alluded to the discipline that we now know as computer science. [1] This progression, from mechanical inventions and mathematical theories towards modern computer concepts and machines, led to the development of ...
