'''Computation''' is a general term for any type of [[information processing]] that can be represented mathematically. This includes phenomena ranging from simple calculations to human thinking. In a more narrow meaning, computation is a process following a well defined [[Model (abstract)|model]] that is understood and can be expressed in an [[algorithm]], [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]], [[network topology]], etc.
