1 . Find the interrupted "communication chain"
The division of modern science disciplines is meticulous and segmented, But it blurs people's overall and global understanding of things. "Science is an internal whole, and it is broken down into a separate part, not by the things themselves, but by the limitations of human cognitive capabilities," he said. In fact, there is a continuous chain from physics to chemistry, from biology and anthropology to sociology. This is a chain that cannot be broken anywhere ".

As early100Many years ago, Marx--The Philosophical manuscript predicts: "in the future, the natural science will put the science of mankind under its own, just as the science of mankind will put the natural science under its own umbrella, it will become a science." Faced with more and more complex problems, many researchers began to explore Research Methods starting from the whole, trying to find the interrupted "communication chain ".

2 Form a cross-domain dual or multi-Computer Science
Computer science needs to emphasize the intersection with natural science and social science, and should become a cross-domain dual or multi-science. it is out of date to divide computer science into science and engineering, the University of Southern California no longer distinguishes computer science from Computer Engineering Based on the system structure, but by the new framework of analysis and comprehensive classification. Analysis-oriented science is called science, integrated computing is mainly called engineering. The main content of computer science is interdisciplinary analysis. Computer Engineering is mainly engaged in system-oriented synthesis. Computer Science should greatly strengthen cross-research with physics, life sciences, and social sciences, form new disciplines such as Computational Physics, computational biology, and social computing, it can also form "Computer + life + physical"," computer + life + social science. these interdisciplinary disciplines are not only the extension of computer applications, but also the mainstream future direction of computer science that we need to pay great attention. To do a good job in these cross-disciplinary research, we must strengthen computer simulation and Simulation Based on supercomputer. We cannot think that in the cross-discipline of Computer + x , computer is just a tool. In fact, this is a new science. It is neither a traditional computer science nor an original x science, it is a new science that integrates these two aspects or several aspects.

The development of computer technology will also have a major impact on human society in the future. Computer scientists should not only cooperate with natural scientists in other fields, but also work closely with social scientists in fields such as sociology, economics, and news dissemination. In short, in the future, the research of computer science cannot follow the same path as in the past, focusing on reduction and reduction. We should consider taking a new path that emphasizes integrated integration.
