ON THE SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM OF INFORMATICS: THE CLASSIFICATION HIGH LEVEL OF ITS OBJECTS
Abstract
The approach of A. Solomonik to structuring the scientific paradigm of "mature" science is considered. According to his approach, the description of such a science should include four components (philosophical foundations; axiomatics; classification of its objects; and system of terms) which can be developed separately but combined into a single and integral structure. Within the framework of this approach, it is proposed to begin the description of the paradigm of informatics by clarifying its positioning in united science (= science U humanities) and constructing the classification high level ofits objects. To position informatics, it is proposed to develop the idea of Denning and Rosenbloom about grouping scientific disciplines in Four Great Scientific Domains. To build the high level of classification, Kristen Nygaard's idea of distinguishing objects of mental nature (concepts of human knowledge) and sensory-perceived objects is used. The purpose of the paper is to attempt to begin the description of the scientific paradigm of informatics based on the approach of A. Solomonik and the development of the ideas of Denning, Nygaard, and Rosenbloom with the construction of the high level of classification.
