The new CS curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School is based on the framework presented here. 8/31/08) Abstract: The Great Principles of Computing is a framework for understanding computing as a field of science.

This framework opens many new possibilities for teaching computer science, including new approaches to programming. Denning, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California April 2008 (Rev.

Practices comprise programming, systems, modeling, innovating, and applying. ISBN 13: 9780262527125 Great Principles of Computing (The MIT Press) Denning, Peter J. Design principles address concerns for complexity, resilience, performance, evolvability, and security. Following the Great Principles initiative 3, 4 and 25, we can distinguish three dimensions of computer science: states, transformation, and collaboration. Computing mechanics comprises computation, communication, coordination, recollection, and automation. The great principles are of two kinds, mechanics and design. This is a book about the whole of computing its algorithms, architectures, and designs. We need a new language to describe the science, and in this book Peter Denning and Craig Martell offer the great principles framework as just such a language. The nearly three dozen core technologies of computing sit in a simple framework defined by great principles and by computing practices. Computer science is a science of information processes. In their influential paper titled Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review, Wilson and others wrote “Locality is very poorly understood, however aside from making a few important general comments, we leave most issues of locality for future research.Great principles in computing curricula Great principles in computing curricula This is a book about the whole of computingits algorithms, architectures, and designs. Given the domain name of this site, it is fitting to have the precise definition of the term here.

Locality is “a pattern of computational behavior in which memory accesses are confined to locality sets for lengthy periods of time.” in an email from Denning, June 26, 2016. Locality is “the observed tendency of programs to cluster references to small subsets of their pages for extended intervals.” on page 23 in Peter J. “The tendency for programs to cluster references to subsets of address space for extended periods is called the principle of locality” on page 143 in Peter J. There are two kinds: principles of computation structure and behavior, which I call mechanics, and principles of design. Here are three sources people can cite for the definition of locality by Peter Denning:
