Structural computing and its relationships to other fields

Abstract

We briefly describe the field of structural computing as it relates to a number of other pursuits. By doing this, we identify issues that are under- or misrepresented in other research areas – issues that we feel may form the beginnings of a core research agenda for structural computing. We also feel this exercise points to natural academic allies of the structural computing field – people and ideas who can inform our work, and with whom we may be able to share our ideas.
