Computer Science is a very young discipline compared to most others. Alan Turing
published the seminal paper of the field in 1936. Around the same time, the militaries in
Germany, UK, and US commissioned the first digital electronic computer projects. One of
these, the Colossus at Bletchley Park in the UK, was used to break the...
When I wrote the first edition of this book, Twitter was just starting to hit the big time: bemused front
page articles in just about every magazine and newspaper in the land wondered just what this
Twitter thing was all about; the actor Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) had just cracked the one million
follower mark; and Oprah herself had...

The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms is
the second event of a series that has been started in 2000 as main activity of the
IFToMM Permanent Commission for History of MMS, Mechanism and Machine
Science. The aim of the HMM Symposium is to be a forum to exchange views,
opinions, and experiences...
My great-grandfather was a furniture maker. I am writing this on his table, sitting in his
chair. His world was one of craft, “the skilled practice of a practical occupation.”1 He made
furniture late in life that was in superficial respects the same as that which he made earlier,
but one can see his craft advance.

Shimon was a great computer scientist who inspired generations of Israeli
stutents and young researchers, including many future leaders of theoretical
computer science.
He was a master at creating combinatorial algorithms, constructions, and
proofs. He always sought the simplest and most lucid solutions. Because...
This document was commissioned by the Facility Guidelines Institute as the sole reference for acoustics in health care facilities. It was written by the Health Care Acoustics Working Group, a permanent committee of the Acoustics Research Council (ARC), comprised of members of leading professional societies in acoustics, noise control...
The diversity of research domains and theories in the field of mathematics education has been a permanent subject of discussions from the origins of the discipline up to the present. On the one hand the diversity is regarded as a resource for rich scientific development on the other hand it gives rise to the often repeated criticism of the...
Nowadays, Agile application development is usually done at a fast pace when many developers are working on the same piece of code. Every so often, this becomes a real challenge if there's no permanent control over consistency of the project source. It is often impossible to force lazy and/or busy programmers to execute tests before and...
Why a book on fault-tolerant search algorithms? Searching is one of the fundamental problems in computer science. Time and again algorithmic and combinatorial issues originally studied in the context of search find application in the most diverse areas of computer science and discrete mathematics. On the other hand, fault-tolerance is a...
