The Quantum Mechanics of Minds and Worlds

Oxford University Press, 2001

The book is at its best when it is distinguishing between the various versions of the Everett interpretation, and would certainly be useful to anyone who whishes to pursue Everett's approach.

How strong would Superman have to be to “leap tall buildings in a single bound”? Could Storm of the X-Men possibly control the weather? And how many cheeseburgers would...

Foundations of Empirical Software Engineering: The Legacy of Victor R. Basili

Springer, 2005

Although software engineering can trace its beginnings to a NATO conference in 1968, it cannot be said to have become an empirical science until the 1970s with the advent of the work of Prof. Victor Robert Basili of the University of Maryland. In addition to the need to engineer software was the need to understand software. Much like other...

Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications

Springer, 2005

Interoperability: the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort from the user is a key issue in manufacturing and industrial enterprise generally.

Advances in Artificial General Intelligence: Concepts, Architectures and Algorithms (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications)

IOS Press, 2007

The topic of this book - the creation of software programs displaying broad, deep, human-style general intelligence - is a grand and ambitious one. And yet it is far from a frivolous one: what the papers in this publication illustrate is that it is a fit and proper subject for serious science and engineering exploration. No one has yet created a...
