The standard second course in computer science has traditionally covered the fun- damental data structures and algorithms, but more recently these topics have been included in the broader topic of abstract data types. This book is no exception, with the main focus on the design, use, and implementation of abstract data types. The...

The 16th edition of the International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies – Ada-Europe 2011—took place in the John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh (UK). Previous editions of the conference were held in Switzerland (Montreux 1996 and Geneva 2007), United Kingdom (London 1997 and York 2005), Sweden (Uppsala...

The goal of this book is to bring together and explain current practice in operating systems. This includes much of what is traditionally covered in operating-system textbooks: concurrency, scheduling, linking and loading, storage management (both real and virtual), fi le systems, and security. However, I also cover issues that come up...

CALCO, the International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, is a high-level, bi-annual event formed by joining CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science) and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with...

Computational intelligence is a fast-moving, multidisciplinary field - the nexus of diverse technical interest areas that include neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computation. Keeping up with computational intelligence means understanding...

The modern world offers lots of readily available online resources for learning. Wikipedia, Google, news sources, millions of Web sites and blogs, even YouTube, offer access to information in nearly any subject that triggers your curiosity and interest. Nonetheless, I continue to believe that for deep understanding of something, nothing...

This book is an introduction to C++ and computer programming that focuses on the essentials—and on effective learning. The book is designed to serve a wide range of student interests and abilities and is suitable for a first course in programming for computer scientists, engineers, and students in other disciplines. No prior...

This book is intended for an object-oriented course in data structures and algorithms. The implementation language is Java, and it is assumed that students have taken a first course in programming, not necessarily in Java. That course should have covered the fundamental statements and data types, as well as arrays. Chapter 0 supplies...

This book is aimed primarily at application developers with a basic understanding of the C language and object-orientation concepts such as encapsulation and polymorphism. You don’t need to be an expert C coder to follow this book. All you need is a basic understanding of structures, pointers, and functions. That said, you will...

Prior to the 1970s, computer and electronics-based technology was hardly a pervasive part of our everyday lives. Automobiles were not yet computerized, fax machines were just taking off, and, significantly, the personal computer had yet to be popularized. Individuals who dreamed of a career in information technology departments were...
