Description

A groundbreaking, unifying theory of computer science for low-cost, high-quality software

The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science represents the culmination of more than thirty years of the author's hands-on experience in software development, which has resulted in a remarkable and sensible philosophy and practice of software development. It provides a groundbreaking ontology of computer science, while describing the processes, methodologies, and constructs needed to build high-quality, large-scale computer software systems on schedule and on budget.

Based on his own experience in developing successful, low-cost software projects, the author makes a persuasive argument for developers to understand the philosophical underpinnings of software. He asserts that software in reality is an abstraction of the human thought system. The author draws from the seminal works of the great German philosophers—Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer—and recasts their theories of human mind and thought to create a unifying theory of computer science, cognitive dynamics, that opens the door to the next generation of computer science and forms the basic architecture for total autonomy.

  • Four detailed cases studies effectively demonstrate how philosophy and practice merge to meet the objective of high-quality, low-cost software.
  • The Autonomous Cognitive System chapter sets forth a model for a completely autonomous computer system, using the human thought system as the model for functional architecture and the human thought process as the model for the functional data process.
  • Although rooted in philosophy, this book is practical, addressing all the key areas that software professionals need to master in order to remain competitive and minimize costs, such as leadership, management, communication, and organization.

This thought-provoking work will change the way students and professionals in computer science and software development conceptualize and perform their work. It provides them with both a philosophy and a set of practical tools to produce high-quality, low-cost software.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《計算機科學的認知動力學》是一本開創性的、統一的低成本、高品質軟體的計算機科學理論。這本書是作者三十多年軟體開發實踐經驗的結晶,提供了一個突破性的計算機科學本體論,同時描述了構建高品質、大規模計算機軟體系統的過程、方法和結構,以確保按時、按預算完成。

作者根據自己在開發成功的低成本軟體項目中的經驗,有力地主張開發人員應該理解軟體的哲學基礎。他認為軟體實際上是人類思維系統的抽象。作者借鑒了偉大的德國哲學家康德、黑格爾和叔本華的重要著作,重新詮釋了他們關於人類思維和思考的理論,創造了一個統一的計算機科學理論——認知動力學,為下一代計算機科學打開了大門,並形成了完全自主的基本架構。

書中通過四個詳細的案例研究有效地展示了哲學和實踐如何融合以實現高品質、低成本軟體的目標。《自主認知系統》一章提出了一個完全自主的計算機系統模型,以人類思維系統作為功能架構的模型,以人類思維過程作為功能數據處理的模型。

儘管根植於哲學,這本書是實用的,涵蓋了軟體專業人員需要掌握的所有關鍵領域,以保持競爭力並降低成本,如領導力、管理、溝通和組織。

這本引人思考的著作將改變計算機科學和軟體開發的學生和專業人士對工作的概念和執行方式。它為他們提供了一個哲學和一套實用工具,以生產高品質、低成本的軟體。
