👉 Bradford Computing is a conceptual framework that simplifies and standardizes the description of computational tasks across diverse domains, aiming to facilitate interoperability and reuse of computational resources. Developed by the University of Oxford's School of Computer Science, it categorizes tasks into a set of 14 fundamental operations: Input/Output, Data Manipulation, Control Flow, Arithmetic, Logical Operations, Memory Management, Input/Output Devices, Data Structures, Algorithms, Parallelism, Security, and Networking. Each operation is defined with a set of primitive operations that can be combined to solve more complex problems, allowing researchers and developers to express computational tasks in a clear, concise, and machine-independent manner. This abstraction enables the creation of computational models that can be implemented across various platforms and languages, promoting collaboration and innovation in scientific computing and software engineering.
