Science and computer science

by N. F. Stewart, Universite De Montreal - ACM Computing Surveys , 1995
"... During the few decades that computer science has been identi ed as a separate discipline, the question of the intellectual nature of the subject has frequently been posed. In particular, the question was discussed recently in the 1993 Turing Award lecture of Juris Hartmanis, \On computational comple ..."

computer science meets the standards of good-quality engineering work (prototypes are built, proof-of-concept projects are conducted, and results are evaluated on the basis of their usefulness in practice). The open question is the extent to which the remaining parts of computer science can be viewed
