Books by Subrata (University of Southwestern Louisiana) Dasgupta

The logic and methodology of design is examined in this book from the perspective of computer science. Computers provide the context for this both by discussion of the design process for hardware and software systems and by consideration of the role of computers in design in general. The question is whether we can construct a theory of design.

This book is about creativity and the nature of the creative process in technological invention. The author shows how certain ideas in cognitive science and artificial intelligence can be used to analyse, describe and explain an important invention taken from the history of computer technology.
