From Semantics to Computer Science: Essays in Honour of Gilles Kahn

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Gilles Kahn was one of the most influential figures in the development of computer science and information technology, not only in Europe but throughout the world. This volume of articles by several leading computer scientists serves as a fitting memorial to Kahn's achievements and reflects the broad range of subjects to which he contributed...

Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism

MIT Press, 2006

"Bogost challenges humanists and technologists to pay attention to one another, something they desperately need to do as computation accelerates us into the red zones of widespread virtual reality. This book gives us what we need to meet that challenge: a general theory for understanding creativity under computation, one that will apply...

A Networking Approach to Grid Computing

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

In February 1974 this author, as a math major at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn,
(co)invented a now well-rooted but computationally complex concept of “hyperperfect
numbers” and he used an early form of grid computing—also known as
utility computing—to study this concept (see pages 83 and 86). His...

Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

Bioinformatics involve the creation and advancement of algorithms using techniques including computational intelligence, applied mathematics and statistics, informatics, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Major research efforts in the field include sequence analysis, gene finding, genome annotation,...

Formal Ontology in Information Systems: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference (FOIS 2006), Volume 150

IOS Press, 2006

Since ancient times, ontology, the analysis and categorisation of what exists, has been fundamental to philosophical enquiry. But, until recently, ontology has been seen as an abstract, purely theoretical discipline, far removed from the practical applications of science. However, with the increasing use of sophisticated computerised information...

Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: Recent Trends

Springer, 2010

Nowadays, computationalmethodologies of signal processing and imaging analysis for 2D, 3D and even 4D data are commonly used for various applications in society. For example, Computational Vision systems are progressively used for surveillance tasks, traffic analysis, recognition process, inspection purposes, human-machine interfaces, 3D...

User-Centered Agile Methods (Synthesis Lectures on Human-Centered Informatics)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

Agile methods have transformed how developers think about organizing the development of a project. Rather than months (or years) of development, followed by months of field test leading up to a release, agile methods organize development into short iterations with continuous testing and a flexible release date. The agile approach...

Mathematics for Informatics and Computer Science (ISTE)

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

How many ways do exist to mix different ingredients, how many chances to win a gambling game, how many possible paths going from one place to another in a network ? To this kind of questions Mathematics applied to computer gives a stimulating and exhaustive answer. This text, presented in three parts (Combinatorics, Probability, Graphs)...
