Would you like to build your own game?

It's easy!

Go to the GameBuilder and get started!

Topics of this game:
  • Determine if the system to be built (or observed) can be represented by information processes, either finite (terminating) or infinite (continuing interactive).
  • Design (or discover) a computational model (for example, an algorithm or a set of computational agents) that generates the system’s behaviors.
  • Implement designed processes in a medium capable of executing its instructions. Design simulations and models of discovered processes. Observe behaviors of information processes.
  • Test the implementation for logical correctness, consistency with hypotheses, performance constraints, and meeting original goals. Evolve the realization as needed.
  • Put the results to action in the world. Monitor for continued evaluation
  • The word “_______” for our purposes means a belief system and its associated practices, defining how a field sees the world and approaches the solutions of problems.
  • Whether computing is ________ or science is a debate as old as the field. itself.
  • The central argument of the report was that the computing field was a unique combination of the traditional paradigms of _____ ______ and _____.
  • interprets computing through the seven dimensions of computation, communication, coordination, recollection, automation, evaluation, and design.
  • ________ is no longer just about algorithms, data structures, numerical methods, programming languages, operating systems, networks, databases, graphics, artificial intelligence, and software engineering, as it was prior to 1989.
  • It now also includes exciting new subjects including Internet, Web science, mobile computing, cyberspace protection, user interface design, and information _________.
  • Computing represents information processes as “expressions that do _____.”
