Introduction
Computer science is the science of abstraction. Aho & Ullman (1992, p.3) call computer science the “mechanization of abstraction”, i.e. an appropriate model is sought for a given problem and is realized by use of a computational device. Abstraction often means simplification: a complex and real problem is replaced by a model that can solve a given problem (Aho & Ullman, 1992, p.3).
