| | Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Theoretical computer science is the mathematics of computing | | | Computer science, an academic discipline (abbreviated CS or compsci), is a body of knowledge generally about computer hardware, software, computation and its theory. | | | Most research in computer science has focused on von Neumann computers or Turing machines (computation models that perform one small, deterministic step at a time). |

| | Interface (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The interface between a computer and a human is called a user interface. | | | The concept of interface is the cornerstone of modular programming, a forerunner and a standard ingredient of object-oriented programming. | | | For example, a class in a programming languages such as Objective-C consists of its interface, specified in a header file, and the implementation in the source file. |

| | Encyclopedia4U - Computer mouse - Encyclopedia Article |
| | The widespread adoption of graphical user interfaces in the 1980s and 1990s made mice indispensable for computer use. | | | A mouse is a handheld pointing device for computers, involving a small object fitted with several buttons and shaped to sit naturally under the hand. | | | In a gestural interface, a particular "gesture" (stylized motion) may be mapped to an action: for example, in a drawing program, moving the mouse in a rapid "x" motion over a shape might delete the shape. |

| | Computer Science |
| | The current approaches to computer science education fail to teach the science of computing. | | | The department's stated mission was "to create and test new concepts and techniques in computer systems design, and to identify and provide a first inroad into new areas of computer applications." Since then,our research program which is broad and deep, has covered twenty different areas of computer science and the related discipline of operations research. | | | A computer science degree now tends to be seen more like a liberal-arts major, as a solid grounding for all kinds of future endeavors rather than as a warm-up round of job training that precedes going to work in the computer industry. |

| | Interfaces |
| | Interface agents are computer programs that employ Artificial Intelligence methods to provide active assistance to a user of a particular computer application. | | | Their Attentive User Interface (AUI) is a new paradigm for interacting with groups of computers that moves beyond the traditional desktop interface. | | | An interface may be intelligent because it can communicate using human language, or because it performs intelligent functions, or because it adapts to a specific task and user. |
