Abstract
The advancement of science in the past century gave rise to a number of revolutionary discoveries that deeply affected the way of life of our society. Here, is given a personal summary of the variety of applications evolving from a major discovery, the analytical engine, which instrumented a novel, revolutionary software engineering, enhancing the now so called Computer Aided Process Engineering in a variety of applications. The race among software-hardware has made possible fast pace in the evolution/revolution that affects all branches of science towards new discoveries with different impact and magnitude. The reader is guided on a tour through various milestones lived, whose main protagonist is an increasingly sophisticated software. Applications to a variety of systems, like telecommunications, biology, chemical engineering, mechanics, mining, etc. are revisited.
