The CasC list is new, so there is bound to be confusion.
There are plenty of mail lists and newsgroups devoted to
compression with the goal of just making data sets smaller,
and a lot of compression techniques will apply to CasC as
well.

The key thing about CasC is that when you remove redundancy
from a data set, you begin to see relationships between
entities and can exploit them.

I certainly was.  In addition to software engineering, CasC
can be applied to other fields such as machine learning,
data mining, reasoning, etc.  For a good description of
Computation as Compression see:
