Computer science, like other mathematical fields, cannot live without a tight relationship
with reality. However, such a relationship is, frankly, not very common.
This is probably why people so enthusiastically welcome a true meeting of theory
and practice. In that sense, the coming together of XML and tree automata theory
was a...
A FEW YEARS AGO some students and I were looking at a map that pinpointed the
locations of about loo cities. We asked ourselves, "Which of these cities are neighbors
of each other?" We knew intuitively that some pairs of cities were neighbors and others
were not; we wanted to find a formal mathematical characterization that...
This book is about inductive databases and constraint-based data mining, emerging
research topics lying at the intersection of data mining and database research. The
aim of the book as to provide an overview of the state-of- the art in this novel and exciting
research area. Of special interest are the recent methods for constraint-based...
This book covers every aspect of mobile app development, starting with major application components and screen layout and design, before moving on to how to manage sensors such as internal gyroscopes and near field communications. Towards the end, it delves into smartphone multimedia capabilities as well as graphics and animation, web access,...
The objective of this book is to present a substantial introduction to the ideas, phenomena and methods of the problems that are frequently observed in mathematics, mathematical physics and engineering technology. The book can be appreciated at a considerable number of levels and is designed for everyone from amateurs to research workmen.

The 16th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information
Systems (NLDB 2011) was held during June 28–30, 2011, at the University
of Alicante, Spain. Since the first NLDB conference in 1995, the main
goal has been to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of research
on the integration of...
Welcome to the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Scientific
and Statistical Database Management held in Portland, Oregon, where it celebrated
its 30th birthday. The first incarnation of SSDBM (then called the Workshop
on Statistical Database Management) took place in Menlo Park, California,
in December 1981. Since...
Developing C# Applications for iPhone and iPad using MonoTouch shows you how to use your existing C# skills to write apps for the iPhone and iPad. Fortunately, there's MonoTouch, Novell's .NET library that allows C# developers to write C# code that executes in iOS. Furthermore, MonoTouch allows you to address all the unique...
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...
