Complex game development by freshman computer science majors

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2007
This case study reveals Daniel Webster College's experience of increasing enrollments dramatically and igniting student enthusiasm for the computer sciences by combining complex game development with innovative classroom management techniques and non traditional student assessments. In this paper we discuss the classroom methods which favor independent

Science, Computers, and the Complexity of Nature

Philosophy of Science, 1963
The relations between simplicity and economy, and between simplicity and complexity, are briefly discussed, and it is suggested that an appearance of simplicity may arise out of the matching of two complexities, e.g. in the perception of a simple color.

Computer, craft, complexity, change: explorations into science teacher knowledge

Studies in Science Education, 2008
In this article we review the notion of teacher knowledge from four metaphorical standpoints – teacher knowledge as computer, as craft, as complexity and as change. We employ each of these metaphors to examine and analyse the work of one teacher of science.

Harmonizing high performance computing (HPC) with large‐scale complex systems in computational science and engineering

Systems Engineering, 2009
Abstract This paper addresses the challenges facing the three different groups within the professional community that support the development of large‐scale scientific and engineering (CSE) software applications. Scientific and engineering systems are but one example of large‐scale complex (LSC) systems.

Arithmetical complexity of some problems in computer science

1977
We show that the set of all (indices of) Turing machines running in time n2 is a complete π 1 0 set and that the set of all (indices of Turing machines computing characteristic functions of) recursive sets A such that PA ≠ NPA is a complete π 2 0 set.

Complexity science of multiscale materials via stochastic computations

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2009
AbstractNew technological advances today allow for a range of advanced composite materials, including multilayer materials and nanofiber‐matrix composites. In this context, the key to developing advanced materials is the understanding of the interplay between the various physical scales present, from the atomic level interactions to the microstructural

Games, Complexity and Interaction the Role of Games in Computer Science

2003
There is an ongoing discussion about the question whether in the contemporary Computer Science climate, where objects, agents and interactive computation appear everywhere, our theoretical foundations, based on the Turing Machine paradigm are still adequate, or whether a new models or variants of existing ones should be invented.

Playful science

CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2014
We explore the possibility of converting computational models of real-world phenomena into computer games. Fusing the fields of computer games and complexity science enables us to not only directly educate the public about science, but also perform valuable scientific research through crowdsourcing whilst introducing genuinely innovative gaming ...

Codification, Between Legal Complexity and Computer Science Agility

2019
Complexity of law, although regularly denounced by both the authorities and the citizens, is a growing phenomenon. There are many reasons for this: the proliferation of norms, the multiplication of different normative sources of law or the regulations required by the evolution of our society.

Computational Military Science: Complexity, Broken Symmetry, and Artificial Intelligence

2023
Computational Military Science is introduced as a sub-discipline of Computational Social Science and examines military conflict and simulations in the form of wargames by focusing on three related, conceptual level aspects: Complex Adaptive Systems, Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking, and Large Language Models.
