Design Theory and Computer Science: Processes and Methodology of Computer Systems Design(Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science)

Series: Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science

The author examines logic and methodology of design from the perspective of computer science. Computers provide the context for this examination both by discussion of the design process for hardware and software systems and by consideration of the role of computers in design in general. The central question posed by the author is whether or not we can construct a theory of design.
