The Temporal Logic of Reactive and Concurrent Systems: Specification
ISBN: 9780387976648 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reactive systems are computing systems which are interactive, such as real-time systems, operating systems, concurrent systems, control systems, etc. They are among the most difficult computing systems to program. Temporal logic is a formal tool/language which yields excellent results in specifying reactive systems. This volume, the first of two, subtitled Specification, has a self-contained introduction to temporal logic and, more important, an introduction to the computational model for reactive programs, developed by Zohar Manna and Amir Pnueli of Stanford University and the Weizmann...

The Design and Analysis of Algorithms
ISBN: 9780387976877 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. These are my lecture notes from CS681: Design and Analysis of Algo rithms, a one-semester graduate course I taught at Cornell for three consec utive fall semesters from '88 to '90. The course serves a dual purpose: to cover core material in algorithms for graduate students in computer science preparing for their PhD qualifying exams, and to introduce theory students to some advanced topics in the design and analysis of algorithms. The material is thus a mixture of core and advanced topics. At first I meant these notes to supplement and not supplant a textbook, but over the three years they...

Object-Oriented Metamethods
ISBN: 9780387982571 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Object technology is maturing rapidly. One sign of that is the formality of the discussions that occur all around the world: at conferences, in newsgroups, in industry developer groups and in academe. One face of formality is metamodelling: seeking the model of the model that gives the rules by which the model itself is constructed. In OT terms, it means seeking the underpinning rules in a methodology in which, for instance, it is suggested we depict an aggregate structure using one particular notation. The questions that need answering are the semantics of that relation ship and the...

Complexity and Real Computation
ISBN: 9780387982816 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 453 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The classical theory of computation has its origins in the work of Goedel, Turing, Church, and Kleene and has been an extraordinarily successful framework for theoretical computer science. The thesis of this book, however, is that it provides an inadequate foundation for modern scientific computation where most of the algorithms are real number algorithms. The goal of this book is to develop a formal theory of computation which integrates major themes of the classical theory and which is more directly applicable to problems in mathematics, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. Along...

Refinement Calculus: A Systematic Introduction
ISBN: 9780387984179 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Much current research in computer science is concerned with two questions: is a program correct? And how can we improve a correct program preserving correctness? This latter question is known as the refinement of programs and the purpose of this book is to consider these questions in a formal setting. In fact, correctness turns out to be a special case of refinement and so the focus is on refinement. Although a reasonable background knowledge is assumed from mathematics and CS, the book is a self-contained introduction suitable for graduate students and researchers coming to this subject for...

Descriptive Complexity
ISBN: 9780387986005 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A basic issue in computer science is the complexity of problems. Computational complexity measures how much time or memory is needed as a function of the input problem size. Descriptive complexity is concerned with problems which may be described in first-order logic. By virtue of the close relationship between logic and relational databses, it turns out that this subject has important applications to databases such as analysing the queries computable in polynomial time, analysing the parallel time needed to compute a query, and the analysis of nondeterministic classes. This book is written...

Data Segmentation and Model Selection for Computer Vision: A Statistical Approach
ISBN: 9780387988153 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The primary focus of this book is on techniques for segmentation of visual data. By "visual data," we mean data derived from a single image or from a sequence of images. By "segmentation" we mean breaking the visual data into meaningful parts or segments. However, in general, we do not mean "any old data": but data fundamental to the operation of robotic devices such as the range to and motion of objects in a scene. Having said that, much of what is covered in this book is far more general: The above merely describes our driving interests. The central emphasis of this book is that...

On a Method of Multiprogramming
ISBN: 9780387988702 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Among all the interests in parallelism, there is an essential and fundamental one that has remained largely unexplored, namely the question of how to design parallel programs from their specification. And that is what this book is about. It proposes a method for the formal development of parallel programs - multiprograms as we have preferred to call them -, and it does so with a minimum of formal gear, viz. with the predicate calculus and with the meanwhile well-established theory of Owicki and Gries. The fact that one can get away with just this theory will probably not convey anything to...
