The original goal of the AI field was the construction of “thinking machines”
– that is, computer systems with human-like general intelligence. Due to the
difficulty of this task, for the last few decades the majority of AI researchers have
focused on what has been called “narrow AI” – the production...

Don’t be fooled: Just because the Droid 2 is a smartphone doesn’t mean
that it’s harboring some form of insidious intelligence. There’s no alien
brain in the device. It isn’t going to take over the world, though it can intimidate
you — that is, until you understand and accept that it’s your...
Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

The first edition of this textbook on software engineering was published more than
twenty years ago. That edition was wJitten using a dumb terminal attached to an early
minicomputer (a PDP-II) that probably cost about $50,000. I wrote this edition on
a wireless laptop that cost less than $2,000 and is many times more powerful than...
We have been very pleased, beyond our expectations, with the reception of
the first edition of this book. Bioinformatics, however, continues to evolve
very rapidly, hence the need for a new edition. In the past three years, fullgenome
sequencing has blossomed with the completion of the sequence of
the fly and the first draft of the...
