Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines

Landes Bioscience, 2004

The principal goal of molecular nanotechnology (MNT) is to develop a manufacturing technology able to inexpensively manufacture most arrangements of atoms that are consistent with physical law. In terms of its precision, flexibility, and low cost, this will be the ultimate manufacturing technology in human history. Two central mechanisms have been...

Strategic Computing: DARPA and the Quest for Machine Intelligence, 1983-1993 (History of Computing)

MIT Press, 2002

This is the story of an extraordinary effort by the U.S. Department of Defense to hasten the advent of "machines that think." From 1983 to 1993, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) spent an extra $1 billion on computer research aimed at achieving artificial intelligence. The Strategic Computing Initiative (SCI) was...

Computability Theory: An Introduction to Recursion Theory

Academic Press, 2010

The study of the class of computable partial functions (i.e., recursive partial functions) stands at the intersection of three fields: mathematics, theoretical computer science, and philosophy.

Mathematically, computability theory originates from the concept of an algorithm. It leads to a classification of functions according...

Molecular Electronics: Commercial Insights, Chemistry, Devices, Architecture and Programming

World Scientific Publishing, 2003

This book presents an in-depth discussion on molecular electronics in an easy-to-understand manner, aiming at chemists, computer scientists, surface scientists, physicists, and applied mathematicians. Lighter overviews are provided for the science-minded layperson and the high tech entrepreneur in this nanoscale science. The author has...

Suitable for both beginners and advanced users, this easy-to-follow book begins with the basics and then systematically guides you through projects ranging from your first blinking LED through...

The Old New Thing: Practical Development Throughout the Evolution of Windows

Addison Wesley, 2007

Why does Windows work the way it does? Why is Shut Down on the Start menu? (And why is there a Start button, anyway?) How can I tap into the dialog loop? Why does the GetWindowText function behave so strangely? Why are registry files called "hives"?

Many of Windows' quirks have perfectly logical explanations, rooted in...

Learning OpenCV: Computer Vision with the OpenCV Library

O'Reilly, 2008

Learning OpenCV puts you right in the middle of the rapidly expanding field of computer vision. Written by the creators of OpenCV, the widely used free open-source library, this book introduces you to computer vision and demonstrates how you can quickly build applications that enable computers to "see" and make decisions based on the...

Spinning the Semantic Web: Bringing the World Wide Web to Its Full Potential

MIT Press, 2005

The Semantic Web is the realization of an aspect of the Web that was part of the original hopes and dreams of 1989, but whose development has, until now, taken a back seat to the Web of multimedia human-readable material. Even though at the first WWW conference, in 1994, I ended my talk with a few slides about the Semantic Web, the steps...

Evolvable Systems: From Biology to Hardware: 9th International Conference, ICES 2010, York, UK, September 6-8, 2010, Proceedings

Springer, 2010

Biology has inspired electronics from the very beginning: the machines that we now call computers are deeply rooted in biological metaphors. Pioneers such as Alan Turing and John von Neumann openly declared their aim of creating arti?cial machines that could mimic some of the behaviors exhibited by natural organisms. Unfortunately, technology...

Shellcoder's Programming Uncovered

A-LIST Publishing, 2005

Some software isn't effective because it proves unable to prevent the propagation of worms, but this guide examines where security holes come from, how to discover them, how to protect systems, and how to do away with security holes altogether.

How hackers, viruses, and worms attack computers from the Internet and exploit security holes...

Symbolic and Numerical Scientific Computation: Second International Conference, SNSC 2001, Hagenberg, Austria

Springer, 2003

Scientific computation has a long history, dating back to the astronomical tables of the Babylonians, the geometrical achievements of the Egyptians, the calendars of the Mayans, and the number theory of the ancient Chinese. The success of these activities led in many parts of the world to the development of mathematical theories trying to explain...
