Computing, today more than ever before, is a multi-faceted
discipline which collates several methodologies, areas of interest,
and approaches: mathematics, engineering, programming, and
applications. Given its enormous impact on everyday life, it is
essential that its debated origins are understood, and that its
different foundations are explained. On the Foundations of
Computing offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the birth
and evolution of computing, and it presents some of the most
important technical results and philosophical problems of the
discipline, combining both historical and systematic analyses. The
debates this text surveys are among the latest and most urgent
ones: the crisis of foundations in mathematics and the birth of the
decision problem, the nature of algorithms, the debates on
computational artefacts and malfunctioning, and the analysis of
computational experiments. By covering these topics, On the
Foundations of Computing provides a much-needed resource to
contextualize these foundational issues. For practitioners,
researchers, and students alike, a historical and philosophical
approach such as what this volume offers becomes essential to
understand the past of the discipline and to figure out the
challenges of its future.
