Book Synopsis Recent Trends in Data Type Specification by : Donald Sannella
Download or read book Recent Trends in Data Type Specification written by Donald Sannella and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1988-10-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fifth Workshop on Specification of Abstract Data Types took place 1-4 September 1987 in Gullane, near Edinburgh. This book contains papers based on selected talks presented at the workshop. The algebraic specification of abstract data types has been a flourishing topic in computer science since 1974. The main goal of work in this area is to evolve a methodology to support the design and formal development of reliable software. The particular approach taken builds upon concepts from universal algebra and elementary category theory. The core of this work has now stabilized to a great extent and is mature enough to find application in real-life software engineering and to related topics such as concurrency, databases, and even hardware design. Such applications are becoming more feasible because of the emergence of integrated specification/development environments which include tools such as theorem provers based on fast term rewriting engines. Researchers are also exploring ways of widening the scope of the theory to make it applicable to (for example) higher-order functions and non-deterministic programs. Another trend is toward taking a more general view which allows superficially different approaches having the same general aims and methods to be unified.
Book Synopsis Concrete and Abstract Voronoi Diagrams by : Rolf Klein
Download or read book Concrete and Abstract Voronoi Diagrams written by Rolf Klein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-12-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voronoi diagram of a set of sites is a partition of the plane into regions, one to each site, such that the region of each site contains all points of the plane that are closer to this site than to the other ones. Such partitions are of great importance to computer science and many other fields. The challenge is to compute Voronoi diagrams quickly. The problem is that their structure depends on the notion of distance and the sort of site. In this book the author proposes a unifying approach by introducing abstract Voronoi diagrams. These are based on the concept of bisecting curves, which are required to have some simple properties that are actually possessed by most bisectors of concrete Voronoi diagrams. Abstract Voronoi diagrams can be computed efficiently and there exists a worst-case efficient algorithm of divide-and-conquer type that applies to all abstract Voronoi diagrams satisfying a certain constraint. The author shows that this constraint is fulfilled by the concrete diagrams based on large classes of metrics in the plane.
Book Synopsis Recent Issues in Pattern Analysis and Recognition by : Virginio Cantoni
Download or read book Recent Issues in Pattern Analysis and Recognition written by Virginio Cantoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-12-20 with total page 1060 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers readers a broad view of research in some Western and Eastern European countries on pattern and signal analysis, and on coding, handling and measurement of images. It is a selection of refereed papers from two sources: first, a satellite conference within the biannual International Conference on Pattern Recognition held in Rome, November 14-17, 1988, and second, work done at the International Basic Laboratory on Image Processing and Computer Graphics, Berlin, GDR. The papers are grouped into three sections. The first section contains new proposals for the specific computation of particular features of digital images and the second section is devoted to the introduction and testing of general approaches to the solution of problems met in digital geometry, image coding, feature extraction and object classification. The third section illustrates some recent practical results obtained on real images specifically in character and speech recognition as well as in biomedicine. All the techniques illustrated in this book will find direct application in the near future. This book should interest and stimulate the reader, provoke new thoughts and encourage further research in this widely appealing field.
Book Synopsis The Psalms in Haiku Form by : Richard Gwyn
Download or read book The Psalms in Haiku Form written by Richard Gwyn and published by Gracewing Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented in the ancient Japanese form of Haiku poetry, this vivid and deeply moving new translation of the Psalms is vivid and deeply moving. The rhythm of the 17-syllable verse, with its carefully structured pattern, introduces a meditative element to the ageless Psalms, reflecting the life of silent prayer and contemplation of a monk on the island monastery of Caldey. Here are praises to spiritual power presented in a stark and clear fashion. They will challenge those familiar with the Psalms to new insight, while introducing these ancient prayers to a whole new audience. Father Richard Gwyn was born in Pembroke Dock, Dyfed in 1918 and was a Brother of the Christian Schools for forty years, working in London and overseas - firstly in Rome, and then Canada, India, Jamaica and Nigeria. He transferred to the Cistercian Abbey on Caldey Island off the Welsh coast, where he was ordained priest.

Book Synopsis Concepts, Design, and Performance Analysis of a Parallel Prolog Machine by : Joachim Beer
Download or read book Concepts, Design, and Performance Analysis of a Parallel Prolog Machine written by Joachim Beer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-12-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a novel execution model for the parallel execution of standard sequential Prolog. In this execution model Prolog procedure calls can be efficiently pipelined, and the author shows how even fully deterministic Prolog programs can be effectively mapped onto the proposed architecture. The design is based on a highly optimized abstract Prolog specific instruction set. A special feature of this work is a sophisticated classification scheme for Prolog variables which substantially reduces the overhead for unification with occur-check. To support the model an architecture consisting of a circular pipeline of independent processors has been designed. This pipeline has been designed to work as a co-processor to a UNIX based workstation. In contrast to other attempts to execute sequential Prolog in parallel, the proposed model does not restrict the use of any of the standard Prolog language features. The book gives a full account of the execution model, the system architecture, and the abstract Prolog instruction set.

Book Synopsis Geometry and Robotics by : Jean-Daniel Boissonnat
Download or read book Geometry and Robotics written by Jean-Daniel Boissonnat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-10-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role played by hormones in the development and treatment of malignant tumors has been controversial for nearly 50 years. The present volume concentrates on substantiated data obtained from the study of tumors developing from hormone-related or hormone-producing tissue, for example the thyroid, adrenal glands, prostate, and the female genital tract. Combining expertise from the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, and histopathology, advances in the management of these tumors are elaborated. The book also provides information on the endonuclear diagnosis of adrenal tumors. Antihormones have proved to be important as they exhibit a destructive effect on prostate carcinomas and breast cancer. In addition, a special chapter discusses the diffuse endocrine cell system (DECS). Bridging the gap between molecular biology and endocrine therapy, the editors present innovative data on many aspects of hormone-related malignant tumors and offer both a survey of present knowledge and a basis for further research.

Book Synopsis Finite Representations of CCS and TCSP Programs by Automata and Petri Nets by : Dirk A. Taubner
Download or read book Finite Representations of CCS and TCSP Programs by Automata and Petri Nets written by Dirk A. Taubner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-08-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work relates different approaches for the modelling of parallel processes. On the one hand there are the so-called "process algebras" or "abstract programming languages" with Milner's Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) and the theoretical version of Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) as main representatives. On the other hand there are machine models, i.e. the classical finite state automata (transition systems), for which, however, more discriminating notions of equivalence than equality of languages are used; and secondly, there are differently powerful types of Petri nets, namely safe and general (place/transition) nets respectively, and predicate/transition nets. Within a uniform framework the syntax and the operational semantics of CCS and TCSP are explained. We consider both, Milner's well-known interleaving semantics, which is based on infinite transition systems, as well as the new distributed semantics introduced by Degano et al., which is based on infinite safe nets. The main part of this work contains three syntax-driven constructions of transition systems, safe nets, and predicate/transition nets respectively. Each of them is accompanied by a proof of consistency. Due to intrinsic limits, which are also investigated here, neither for transition systems and finite nets, nor for general nets does a finite consistent representation of all CCS and TCSP programs exist. However sublanguages which allow finite representations are discerned. On the other hand the construction of predicate/transition nets is possible for all CCS programs in which every choice and every recursive body starts sequentially.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers which were presented to the workshop "Computer-Science Logic" held in Karlsruhe on October 12-16, 1987. Traditionally Logic, or more specifically, Mathematical Logic splits into several subareas: Set Theory, Proof Theory, Recursion Theory, and Model Theory. In addition there is what sometimes is called Philosophical Logic which deals with topics like nonclassical logics and which for historical reasons has been developed mainly at philosphical departments rather than at mathematics institutions. Today Computer Science challenges Logic in a new way. The theoretical analysis of problems in Computer Science for intrinsic reasons has pointed back to Logic. A broad class of questions became visible which is of a basically logical nature. These questions are often related to some of the traditional disciplines of Logic but normally without being covered adequately by any of them. The novel and unifying aspect of this new branch of Logic is the algorithmic point of view which is based on experiences people had with computers. The aim of the "Computer-Science Logic" workshop and of this volume is to represent the richness of research activities in this field in the German-speaking countries and to point to their underlying general logical principles.
