We looked at whether CS was a science or an engineering discipine,
or some combination, but we didn't spend much time considering
that it might be what I called "sui generis",
i.e., a brand-new paradigm.

Here's a recent article that makes the case for that:

Denning, Peter J.; & Freeman, Peter A. (2009),
"Computing's Paradigm", Communications of the ACM
52(12) (December): 28-30.
