Many people are put off by the common stereotypes of science as a cold, hyperintellectual process and of scientists as glorified computers. The formal scientific reports in the journals certainly...

Da Vinci also correctly recognized the significance of mistakes for research and inquiry. Mistakes (called negative examples in computer science) are critically important in the process of both human and automated (computer-generated) knowledge acquisition because both are equally necessary to acquire decision rules, which are the basis for formal knowledge and which represent the specific body of knowledge contained in any subject matter. 

Model comparison in computer science some methodologies or tools try to allow comparison between different models (Amidon 1997). Ontology is then required to align the models. Even if it may be easier because of formalisms used, it then comes back to the previous difficulty which is to define the common analysis reference.

Steven D. Johnson is an associate professor of computer science in the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences. He received a B.A. in mathematics and Russian from Depauw University in 1970, an M.A. in mathematics from Indiana University in 1977, and the Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University in 1983. His research is in the area of formal methods for system design. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, ACM, and IFIP WG 10.5. 

Paul Miner is a Research Engineer with the Formal Methods Team at NASA Langley Research Center. He will complete his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Indiana University in the fall of 1997. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Old Dominion University and an M.S. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary. His research interests include application of formed techniques to digital hardware design and analysis of fault-tolerant systems. 

An atomic DEVS model is defined as a tuple of sets and functions (cf. Appendix A.3). If the output events of an atomic DEVS model are converted into input events of another atomic DEVS model, i.e. if atomic DEVS models are coupled, then the result defines a new DEVS model. That is, complex systems can be modelled in the DEVS framework in a hierarchical manner. The DEVS formalism is widely used in computer science. Its application to the numerical solution of continuous-time models, however, is much less common. 

Computing The second use is for computing models. Formal Graphs are in fact neural netwoiks, which are easily transposed into algorithms. Neural network-based softwares are widely used for solving many complex and real-world problems in engineering, science, economics, and finance. 

Telecommunications equipment installers and repairers usually acquire their skills through formal training at technical schools or college, where they major in electronics, communications technology, or computer science. Military experience in the field, on-the-job training with a software manufacturer, or prior work as a telecommunications line installer may also provide entry into more complicated or complex positions.
