At first glance, Robinson's original form of nonstandard analysis appears nonconstructive in essence, because it makes a rather unrestricted use of classical logic and set theory and, in particular, of the axiom of choice. Recent developments, however, have given rise to the hope that the distance between constructive and nonstandard mathematics is actually much smaller than it appears. So the time was ripe for the first meeting dedicated simultaneously to both ways of doing mathematics and to the current and future reunion of these seeming opposites.

Recent developments in computer science clearly show the need for a better theoretical foundation for some central issues. Methods and results from mathematical logic, in particular proof theory and model theory, are of great help here and will be used much more in future than previously. This book provides an excellent introduction to the interplay of mathematical logic and computer science. It contains extensively reworked versions of the lectures given at the 1997 Marktoberdorf Summer School by leading researchers in the field.
Topics covered include: proof theory and specification of...

CiE 2006: Logical Approaches to Computational Barriers Swansea, Wales, June 30 - July 5, 2006 Computability in Europe (CiE) is an informal network of European scientists working on computability theory, including its foundations, technical devel- ment, and applications. Among the aims of the network is to advance our t- oretical understanding of what can and cannot be computed, by any means of computation. Its scienti?c vision is broad: computations may be performed with discrete or continuous data by all kinds of algorithms, programs, and - chines. Computations may be made by experimenting...

Dieses Buch analysiert das Jahrhundertprojekt der europaweiten Vereinheitlichung des Massenzahlungsverkehrs durch das SEPA-Projekt (Single Euro Payment Area). Obwohl die Tragweite dieser Umgestaltung der europaischen Zahlungssysteme mit der Euro-Einfuhrung vergleichbar ist, besteht daruber ein gravierendes Informationsdefizit im offentlichen Diskurs. In diesem Buch findet sich eine kritische Analyse von SEPA aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen Zahlungskartensysteme, da sie als zeitgemasse Zahlungsform in einer digitalisierten, globalisierten Welt von SEPA...
