Computer science Definition from Science & Technology Dictionaries & Glossaries

Telecommunication Standard Terms
computer science
The discipline that is concerned with methods and techniques relating to data processing performed by automatic means.

Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems
Computer Science
The study of the use, design and CONSTRUCTions of (largely digital ) computer s. Computer science heavily relies on mathematical (see mathematics ) and engineering insights. In spite of its mathematically sophisticated, academically demanding, and economically profitable appearance, its body of generally acceptable fundamental laws or principles, is small. A more appropriate name for this "state of the art"-like body of knowledge would be computer technology. (Krippendorff )

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Computer science
Computer science, or computing science, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as computer graphics), while others relate to properties of computational problems (such as computational complexity theory). Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems. A further subfield, human-computer interaction, focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable and universally accessible to people.
