Snobol 4 Programming Language (Automatic Computation)

Prentice Hall, 1971

This is the classic Green Book -- the bible of the SNOBOL4 programming language. It can also be used as an authoritative reference for SPITBOL. We used this book in grad school in the late '70s and early '80s, and I still have that copy, with highlights and notes in the margins. It's an outstanding guide to SNOBOL4, written by part of the team at...

Level Sets and Extrema of Random Processes and Fields

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Level Sets and Extrema of Random Processes and Fields discusses how to understand the properties of the level sets of paths as well as how to compute the probability distribution of its extremal values, which are two general classes of problems that arise in the study of random processes and fields and in related applications. This book...

Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

A unified treatment of the vulnerabilities that exist in real-world network systems—with tools to identify synergies for mergers and acquisitions

Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World presents a comprehensive study of network systems and the roles these systems play...

Reference and Computation: An Essay in Applied Philosophy of Language (Studies in Natural Language Processing)

Cambridge University Press, 1990

This book deals with a major problem in the study of language: the problem of reference. The ease with which we refer to things in conversation is deceptive. Upon closer scrutiny, it turns out that we hardly ever tell each other explicitly what object we mean, although we expect our interlocutor to discern it. Amichai Kronfeld provides an answer...

Handbook of Floating-Point Arithmetic

Birkhauser, 2009

Floating-point arithmetic is by far the most widely used way of implementing real-number arithmetic on modern computers. Although the basic principles of floating-point arithmetic can be explained in a short amount of time, making such an arithmetic reliable and portable, yet fast, is a very difficult task. From the 1960s to the early 1980s,...

Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (Bradford Books)

MIT Press, 2009

While philosophers of mind have been arguing over the status of mental representations in cognitive science, cognitive scientists have been quietly engaged in studying perception, action, and cognition without explaining them in terms of mental representation. In this book, Anthony Chemero describes this nonrepresentational approach (which he terms...

Research and Development in Intelligent Systems XXVI: Incorporating Applications and Innovations in Intelligent Systems XVII

Springer, 2009

The papers in this volume are the refereed papers presented at AI-2009, the Twenty-ninth SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2009 in both the technical and the application streams.

They present new and innovative developments and applications,...

Grid Generation Methods (Scientific Computation)

Springer, 2009

This book is an introduction to structured and unstructured grid methods in scientific computing, addressing graduate students, scientists as well as practitioners. Basic local and integral grid quality measures are formulated and new approaches to mesh generation are reviewed. In addition to the content of the successful first edition, a more...

Mathematica Navigator: Mathematics, Statistics and Graphics, Third Edition

Academic Press, 2009

Ruskeepaa gives a general introduction to the most recent versions of Mathematica, the symbolic computation software from Wolfram. The book emphasizes graphics, methods of applied mathematics and statistics, and programming.

Mathematica Navigator can be used both as a tutorial and as a handbook. While no previous experience with...

Applying Computational Intelligence: How to Create Value

Springer, 2009

The flow of academic ideas in the area of computational intelligence is impacting industrial practice at considerable speed. Practitioners face the challenge of tracking, understanding and applying the latest techniques, which often prove their value even before the underlying theories are fully understood. This book offers realistic guidelines...

Non-linear Modeling and Analysis of Solids and Structures

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This book presents a theoretical treatment of nonlinear behavior of solids and structures in such a way that it is suitable for numerical computation, typically using the Finite Element Method. Starting out from elementary concepts, the author systematically uses the principle of virtual work, initially illustrated by truss structures, to give a...

Bond Graph Methodology: Development and Analysis of Multidisciplinary Dynamic System Models

Springer, 2010

Nowadays, engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex and, for design purposes, must be considered as multidisciplinary systems made up of components from different engineering disciplines. With regard to the systematic development and the analysis of models, interdisciplinary methodologies supported by software become more and more...
