== Should we prioritize (move up) Applied Computer Science from Artificial Intelligence? ==

In the field sections, Artificial Intelligence is on 4.3, above Applied Computer Science (4.4). Should we swap their positions?

The numerical category might be just arbitrary, but I feel like Applied Computer Science should be right next to Theoretical Computer Science down, and Computer Systems could be dropped down too. So there's like a sense or prioritization.

Artificial Intelligence seems to be a more recently development in computer science, so it could be the last on the list. [[User:Ejenriquez|Ejenriquez]] ([[User talk:Ejenriquez|talk]]) 01:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Programming should be under Applied Computer Science

Split the category of Theoretical Programming in the Theoretical Computer Science section, and Programming as a discipline in Applied Computer Science Ejenriquez (talk) 04:48, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the problem is that programming language theory has a lot of research that's basically pure math and not directly applied, though I agree that a lot of programming language research is applied. Dividing the field broadly into § Theoretical computer science and § Applied computer science is inherently challenging, but I'm not sure of a better way to organize § Fields. Thoughts?

Should we prioritize (move up) Applied Computer Science from Artificial Intelligence?

In the field sections, Artificial Intelligence is on 4.3, above Applied Computer Science (4.4). Should we swap their positions?

The numerical category might be just arbitrary, but I feel like Applied Computer Science should be right next to Theoretical Computer Science down, and Computer Systems could be dropped down too. So there's like a sense or prioritization.
