Domain Science and Engineering A Review of 10 Years Work and a Laudatio The ZCC Fest, 20 October 2017, Changsha, China

摘要

A personal account is given of my scientific work since I retired 10 years ago. This work centers around a new dimension to computing science: that of domain science & engineering. By a domain we shall understand a rationally describable segment of a human assisted reality, i.e., of the world, its physical parts, and living species. These are endurants ("still"), existing in space, as well as perdurants ("alive"), existing also in time. Emphasis is placed on "human-assistedness", that is, that there is at least one (man-made) artifact and that humans are a primary cause for change of endurant states as well as perdurant behaviours. Section 7 brings my laudatio.
