The Verilog language is a hardware description language that provides a means of specifying a digital system at a wide range of levels of abstraction. The language supports the early conceptual stages of design with its behavioral level of abstraction, and the later implementation stages with its structural abstractions. The language includes...

Perhaps the largest impact that Bayesian networks have had is on the field of AI, where they were...

This book is an introduction to theoretical computer science emphasizing two interrelated areas: the theory of computability {how to tell whether problems are algorithmically solvable) and the theory of formal languages (how to design and use special languages, as for algorithms). Automata {idealized computer devices) are used as precise...

From its basics, the SemanticWeb can be viewed as a collection of standards and technologies that allow machines to understand the meaning (semantics) of information on theWeb. It represents a new vision about how theWeb should be constructed so that its information can be processed...

Semantic Web and Knowledge Management has been accepted as a critical enabler aiming to increase knowledge-related performance...

This is a research monograph intended primarily for those researchers in Theoretical Computer Science interested in the areas of logics of programs, programming language semantics and program verification. It is also aimed at mathematically-inclined researchers in Logic, Linguistics and Philosophy, interested in a well-motivated...

During the 1980's the flat relational model (relational model), which was initiated by Codd in 1970, gained immense popularity and acceptance in the market place. One of the main reasons for this success is that the relational model provides physical data independences i.e. changing the physical organization of the database does not...
