Appunti sulla natura del Software
Abstract
In questo articolo si fissano delle intuizioni utili alla ricerca intorno ad una ontologia del software che si ponga come alternativa tanto alla distinzione software/hardware quanto alle conclusioni epistemologiche legate alla visione dei Livelli di Astrazione, e ad una associata immagine del mondo fatto a livelli interconnessi da dipendenze ontologiche che vanno dal piano materiale al piano dell’astrazione.
