Software Reliability Methods
ISBN: 9780387951065 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many books focus on increasing the quality of software through the use of formal methods. However, most books embrace one particular method, and present it as the suggested solution for the software reliability problem. This book presents a wider picture of formal methods, through a collection of notations and techniques. It compares them, and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. One of the main challenges of formal methods is in transferring the tech- nology developed by researchers to the software development community. Re- cently, we seem to be starting to have a better...

Panoramic Vision: Sensors, Theory, and Applications
ISBN: 9780387951119 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 449 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Current cameras are poor imitations of the human eye and close descen dants in their design of ideas and a technology that are more than a century old. People in computer vision have traditionally used off-the-shelf cameras that were not meant for the uses they were intended for by these researchers: off-the-shelf cameras are designed to capture images to be printed on paper or looked at on a television screen, not for guiding robots or making 3D models of the environment or even surveilling a large area where very large field of views, high geometric and photometric accuracies are necessary....

Computer Algebra Recipes: A Gourmet's Guide to the Mathematical Models of Science
ISBN: 9780387951485 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 796 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Computer algebra systems have the potential to revolutionize the teaching of and learning of science. Not only can students work thorough mathematical models much more efficiently and with fewer errors than with pencil and paper, they can also work with much more complex and computationally intensive models. Thus, for example, in studying the flight of a golf ball, students can begin with the simple parabolic trajectory, but then add the effects of lift and drag, of winds, and of spin. Not only can the program provide analytic solutions in some cases, it can also produce numerical solutions...

A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications
ISBN: 9780387952062 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume presents a programming model, similar to object-oriented programming, that imposes a strict discipline on the form of the constituent objects and interactions among them. Concurrency considerations have been eliminated from the model itself and are introduced only during implementation, thereby freeing programmers from dealing with concurrency explicitly. Moreover, the resulting software designs are typically more modular and easier to analyze than the more traditional ones. Numerous examples illustrate various aspects of the model and reveal that a few simple, integrated features...

A Guide to Data Compression Methods [With CD-ROM]
ISBN: 9780387952604 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1829, Louis Braille, a young organist in a Paris church, blind since age 3, invented the well-known code for the blind, still in common use today all over the world and named after him. Braille himself modified his code in 1834, and there have been several modifications since. However, the basic design of this code, where each character is represented by a group of 3 x 2 dots, has remained intact. The dots are embossed on thick paper and each can be raised or flat (i. e., present or absent). Each dot is therefore equivalent to one bit of information. As a result, the Braille code (Figure...

Programming Methodology
ISBN: 9780387953496 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The second half of the twentieth century saw an astonishing increase in computing power; today computers are unbelievably faster than they used to be, they have more memory, they can communicate routinely with remote machines all over the world - and they can fit on a desktop. But, despite this remarkable progress, the voracity of modem applications and user expectations still pushes technology right to the limit. As hardware engineers build ever-more-powerful machines, so too must software become more sophisticated to keep up. Medium- to large-scale programming projects need teams of people...

Reasoning about Program Transformations: Imperative Programming and Flow of Data
ISBN: 9780387953915 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Overview The motivation of this text lies in what we believe is the inadequacy of current frameworks to reason about the ?ow of data in imperative programs. This inadequacy clearly shows up when dealing with the individual side effects of loop iterations. - deed, we face a paradoxical situation where, on the one hand, a typical program spends most of its execution time iterating or recursing on a few lines of codes, and, on the other hand, current optimization frameworks are clumsy when trying to capture the effects of each incarnation of these few lines frameworks we inherited from designs...

In these essays Heinz von Foerster discusses some of the fundamental principles that govern how we know the world and how we process the information from which we derive that knowledge. Included are path- breaking articles concerning the principles of computation in neural nets (1967), the definition of self-organizing systems (1960), the nature of cognition (1970), as well as recent expansions on these themes (e.g. "How recursive is communication," 1993). Working with Norbert Wiener, Warren McCullough, and others in the 1960s and 1970s, von Foerster was one of the founders of the science of...
