Topic: Interfaces (computer science)


In the News (Sat 25 May 13)

  
  Computer Science - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
Computer science can be divided into four main fields: software development, computer architecture (hardware), human-computer interfacing (the design of the most efficient ways for humans to use computers), and artificial intelligence (the attempt to make computers behave intelligently).
Computer scientists are interested in making operating systems easier to use, more secure, and more efficient by developing new user interface designs, designing new mechanisms that allow data to be shared while preventing access to sensitive data, and developing algorithms that make more effective use of the computer’s time and memory.
Examples include improving computer access for people with disabilities, simplifying program use, developing three-dimensional input and output devices for virtual reality, improving handwriting and speech recognition, and developing heads-up displays for aircraft instruments in which critical information such as speed, altitude, and heading are displayed on a screen in front of the pilot’s window.

 Computer science definition by The Linux Information Project
Science is a technique for learning about the natural world by applying the principles of the scientific method (which includes making empirical observations, proposing hypotheses to explain those observations, and then testing those hypotheses); engineering is the application of science.
Computer science in universities was initially treated as a branch of mathematics and not as a separate discipline.
As is the case with the other sciences and fields of engineering, the understanding and application of virtually all aspects of computer science are continuing to advance and are showing no signs of slowing down.

 Interface (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The interface between a human and a computer is called a user interface.
Interfaces were historically derived from the header files of the C programming language by restricting their syntactic context and contents, and making them a part of the language semantics (as opposed to a mere preprocessor feature).
The Java programming language takes a different approach to the concept of the interface normally existing in other object-oriented programming languages (ie., that the interface specified is the interface to the class), in that an interface specifies a set of methods which implement some specific functionality, common to a set of classes.

Users should be able to learn from their interaction with the system (didactic interface, that teaches), and the system should be able to learn from its interaction with users (apprentice interface, that learns).
It should be possible to dynamically draw an interface separating the "frontend" from the "backend" of the system, and observe the events that happen there, in the form of program instructions of some dynamically user-defined abstraction level, so that the user may replay, script, generalize, refactor, etc., his previous manual actions on the interface.
