摘要：

Computation thinking is the fundamental skill for a computer scientist to solve problems, build systems and understand the complex behaviors. It is originated from the fundamental question of what is computable. Nowadays, computational thinking has already begun to influence many disciplines and it is envisioned to be one fundamental skill in research. In this talk, I will discuss computational thinking in state-of-the-art wireless research. I will use three pieces of system research work that have been published in ACM SIGCOMM as examples. I will go over the technique details and discuss how computational thinking principles are used to guide the design of each work.
