The church-turing thesis: breaking the myth
Dina Goldin,Peter Wegner +1 more
TL;DR: This paper identifies and analyzes the historical reasons for widespread belief that no model of computation more expressive than Turing machines can exist, and presents one such model, Persistent Turing Machines (PTMs), which capture sequential interaction, which is a limited form of concurrency.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Interactive Nature of Computing: Refuting the Strong Church---Turing Thesis
Dina Goldin,Peter Wegner +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SCT reinterprets the original Church–Turing Thesis (CTT) in a way that Turing never intended; its commonly assumed equivalence to the original is a myth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globalizing business, education, culture through the Internet
TL;DR: The transformation of the world into a global village caused revolutionary changes in the physical and social infrastructure, rivaling those of the industrial revolution, which included great changes in society's economic infrastructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Models of Computation
Peter Wegner,Eugene Eberbach +1 more
TL;DR: Three superTuring models of computation, namely Interaction Machines, the π calculus and the $-calculus are presented and explained, focussing on why they are better for the solution of computational problems.
