A COMPUTING PERSPECTIVE ON SCIENTIFIC CHINESE TRINITY

Abstract

The unprecedented and rapid development of the Chinese economy has been vividly displayed in front of the whole world to see. The attention has been particularly acute for the academic community and career politician alike. Ironically, this rapid economic miracle of China has been built on an unsound and often even questionable foundation of Chinese words, language and culture, of which we call them "Chinese trinity". This paper deals with the Chinese trinity from a computing science perspective. This paper argues the reform in scientific Chinese trinity with an emphasis of the word "scientific" ought to play a key role for further Chinese economic development and to launch a much improved contemporary Chinese society on a solid foundation. In addition, this paper proposes specifically ten computing paradigms and examines critically their potential impacts on scientific Chinese trinity. Finally, we feel the very focused approaches as proposed here might inspire as well as provide a much needed road map toward the goal of the scientific Chinese trinity. Judiciously chosen vigorous research projects appear to be indispensable. The unfortunate well known and long overdue reform has finally been rescued by the pressure of the information revolution coming of age.
