Specification and Development of Interactive Systems: Focus on Streams, Interfaces, and Refinement
ISBN: 9780387950730 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents a fundamental mathematical and logical approach to soft ware and systems engineering. Considering the large number of books de scribing mathematical approaches to program development, it is important to explain what we consider to be the specific contribution of our book, to identify our goals, and to characterize our intended target audience. Most books dealing with the mathematics and logics of programming and system development are mainly devoted to programming in the small. This is in contrast to our book where the emphasis is on modular system development with the help...

Automated Theorem Proving: Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780387950754 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the 21st century begins, the power of our magical new tool and partner, the computer, is increasing at an astonishing rate. Computers that perform billions of operations per second are now commonplace. Multiprocessors with thousands of little computers - relatively little -can now carry out parallel computations and solve problems in seconds that only a few years ago took days or months. Chess-playing programs are on an even footing with the world's best players. IBM's Deep Blue defeated world champion Garry Kasparov in a match several years ago. Increasingly computers are expected to be...

Topology in Process Calculus: Approximate Correctness and Infinite Evolution of Concurrent Programs
ISBN: 9780387950921 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Process calculi are among the most successful models of concurrent systems. Various behavior equivalences between processes are central notions in CCS (calculus of communicating systems) and other process calculi. In the real applications, specification and implementation are described as two processes, and correctness of programs is treated as a certain behavior equivalence between them. The purpose of this book is to establish a theory of approximate correctness and infinite evolution of concurrent programs by employing some notions and tools from point-set topology. This book is restricted...

You scan the scene by directing your attention, and gaze, at certain specific objects. Despite the background, you discern them. The process is partially intentional and partially preattentive. How all this can be done is described in the fourth volume of Models of Neural Networks devoted to Early Vision and Atten tion that you are holding in your hands. Early vision comprises the first stages of visual information processing. It is as such a scientific challenge whose clarification calls for a penetrating review. Here you see the result. The...

Software Reliability Methods
ISBN: 9780387951065 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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. 30 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. 30 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. 16-18 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. 16-18 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. 16-18 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...
