Real-Time Systems: Formal Specification and Automatic Verification

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Real-time systems need to react to certain input stimuli within given time bounds. For example, an airbag in a car has to unfold within 300 milliseconds in a crash. There are many embedded safety-critical applications and each requires real-time specification techniques. This text introduces three of these techniques, based on logic and automata:...

From Embryology to Evo-Devo: A History of Developmental Evolution

MIT Press, 2007

Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2007.

Although we now know that ontogeny (individual development) does not actually recapitulate phylogeny (evolutionary transformation), contrary to Ernst Haeckel's famous dictum, the relationship between embryological development and evolution remains the subject of intense...

Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction

Springer, 1996

One of the well-springs of mathematical inspiration has been the continuing attempt to formalize human thought. From the syllogisms of the Greeks, through all of logic and probability theory, cognitive models have led to beautiful mathematics and wide ranging application.
