Let me try out several definitions..  I emphasize `try out' 'cause I'm hardly
an authority, but these seem reasonable to me, from the point of view of
someone who feels he has practiced all five to varying degrees.  I'm posting
this with an aim at redirecting some current arguments which seem largely
based on disagreements over use of the following terminology.

Computer Science - The Science of Computing, a branch of applied mathemathics
    in many ways - often confused with one or several of the following:

Computer Engineering - The engineering of the physical computer.

Software Engineering - The engineering of the process of software creation
    and maintenance.

Programming - The translation of specifications to operations.  The techniques
    used feed from all three of the above.

Art - Who knows!  In my experience, there are equal opportunities for art in
    all of the above endeavors (there is most certainly art in proof, art in
    design, art in process, and art in translation).  However, one may well
    be able to argue that the `beauty' we see in any of the above endeavors
    that makes us think of `art', is a fairly limited view of what `art' is.
