 | | Computer science is transforming several of the basic and applied sciences including biological, physical, and cognitive sciences. |
 | | Computer programs embody new theories and dynamic models of cognitive phenomena such as memory and learning, perception, language understanding, and problem solving; physical phenomena such as planetary motion; biological processes such as brain function, gene regulation, reproduction, adaptation, and evolution; and social phenomena such as cooperation, competition, and economic behavior. |
 | | In the social sciences, entirely new disciplines are emerging as a result of marriage between computer science and social science (e.g., computational organization theory, computational economics). |
