Product Description: The Marktoberdorf Summer Schools on Informatics were started in 1970, with the intention to convene every second or third year a group of top researchers in computing, devoted to preach their most recent results to an elite of advanced students - young and most promising people - and prepared to stand their questions, criticism and suggestions...read more

Product Description: This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop on evolutionary models and strategies and another workshop on parallel processing, logic, organization, and technology, both held in Germany in 1989. In the search for new concepts relevant for parallel and distributed processing, the workshop on parallel processing included papers on aspects of space and time, representations of systems, non-Boolean logics, metrics, dynamics and structure, and superposition and uncertainties...read more

Product Description: Immer komplexere Anwendungen stellen steigende Leistungsanforderungen an relationale Datenbanksysteme. Um diese zu erf}llen, ist eine Parallelisierung der Anfragebearbeitung erforderlich. Als Beitrag hierzu wird ein Verfahren zur ]bersetzung von Anwenderanfragen, die in der Standard-Sprache SQL formuliert sind, in effiziente parallele Bearbeitungspl{ne vorgestellt...read more

Product Description: This monograph describes a method of data modelling whose basic aim is to make databases easier to use by providing them with logical data independence. To achieve this, the nested UR (universal relation) model is defined by extending the classical UR model to nested relations...read more

Product Description: Code Generation - Concepts, Tools, Techniques is based upon the proceedings of the Dagstuhl workshop on code generation which took place from 20-24 May 1991. The aim of the workshop was to evaluate current methods of code generation and to indicate the main directions which future research is likely to take...read more

Product Description: As one of the best selling financial principles textbooks over the past 20 years, Financial Accounting: A Business Perspective, 8th Edition continues to provide students in the first financial accounting course an understanding of how to use accounting information to analyze business performance and make business decisions...read more

This volume is based on the Workshop on Evolutionary Computing held in Sheffield, U.K., in April 1995 under the sponsorship of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behavior (AISB).The 18 full papers presented were selected during a post-workshop refereeing meeting and chosen from 32 submissions for the workshop.The papers are organized in sections on evolutionary computing theory and techniques, timetabling, routing and scheduling, optimization, signal processing and control, and genetic programming. The collection of papers has a certain bias towards real world applications of evolutionary computing and particularly genetic algorithms.

Product Description: This volume is based on the Workshop on Evolutionary Computing held in Leeds, U.K. in April 1994 under the sponsorship of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour. In addition to the 22 best papers presented at the workshop, there are two invited contributions by Ray Paton and Colin Reever...read more

Product Description: This volume presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on the Theory and Practice of Software Engineering, TAPSOFT '95, held in Aarhus, Denmark in May 1995. TAPSOFT '95 celebrates the 10th anniversary of this conference series started in Berlin in 1985 to bring together theoretical computer scientists and software engineers (researchers and practitioners) with a view to discussing how formal methods can usefully be applied in software development...read more

Product Description: Digital systems are now all-pervasive in industry and university courses are constrained to recognize this fact. This text is designed to meet the requirements of the current nature of such courses.

Product Description: Gould shows why a more accurate way of understanding our world is to look at a given subject within its own context, to see it as a part of a spectrum of variation and then to reconceptualize trends as expansion or contraction of this “full house” of variation, and not as the progress or degeneration of an average value, or single thing...read more
