The impact of Computer Science on the life and development of mankind is almost invaluable, because their developments have made reality many of the ideas that, until recently, seemed impossible. But, even with all its importance, still have not been yet found a place in the taxonomies of the sciences and disciplines. Some place it as part of mathematics, others claim that it is an engineering and the most daring classify it as a science a priori. This article presents an analysis from the conceptualizations of philosophy, science and engineering, with the aim of offering the reader a panorama in which he can structure his own definition about Computer Science.
