Nets, Terms and Formulas: Three Views of Concurrent Processes and Their Relationship
ISBN: 9780521018456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The author presents a theory whereby nets, terms and formulas represent concurrent process at three levels of abstractions: Petri nets are used to describe all details of the operational machine behavior of processes. Algebraic process terms such as Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) or Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) two of the main models for parallel programming, are used to describe the architecture of processes, i.e. how they can be composed from subprocesses. Logical formulas of a first-order trace logic are used to describe the safety and liveness aspects of the...

Two-Level Functional Languages
ISBN: 9780521018470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The authors describe here a framework in which the type notation of functional languages is extended to include a notation for binding times (that is run-time and compile-time) that distinguishes between them. Consequently, the ability to specify code and verify program correctness can be improved. Two developments are needed, the first of which introduces the binding time distinction into the lambda calculus in a manner analogous with the introduction of types into the untyped lambda calculus. Methods are also presented for introducing combinators for run-time. The second concerns the...

Computational Linguistics: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780521310383 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In spite of the rapid growth of interest in the computer analysis of language, this book provides an integrated introduction to the field. Inevitably, when many different approaches are still being considered, a straightforward work of synthesis would be neither possible nor practicable. Nevertheless, Ralph Grishman provides a valuable survey of various approaches to the problems of syntax analysis, semantic analysis, text analysis and natural language generation, while considering in greater detail those that seem to him most productive. The book is written for readers with some background...

Testing in Software Development
ISBN: 9780521337861 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With the increasing application of software in systems, especially safety- or even life-critical systems, it is no longer sufficient for the software developer to rely solely on testing the code produced. Testing must begin with the specification of requirements, continue on the design and finally on the implemented system. This book gives guidance on how testing can be carried out at each of the stages of software development. It does this by looking at the development process from four viewpoints: that of the intended user of the system, of its designers, of its programmers, and of the...
