Abstract
The traditional distinction between theories (developed to tackle theoretical problems) and applications (based on theories and realized to help a user) is blurred in computer science. To experiment their theories, computer scientists often write programs. This paper focuses on the features that make such a program an application (also in its software engineering meaning). The discussion is more specifically aimed at artificial intelligence applications and especially conceptual graphs applications presented in ICCS papers, and the importance of applications for a scientific domain.
