Rewriting is a form of inference, and one that interacts in several ways
with other forms of inference such as decision procedures and proof search. We
discuss a range of issues at the intersection of rewriting and inference. How can
other inference procedures be combined with rewriting? Can rewriting be used to
describe...
If you are sitting in a basement room without a view — not to mention the
bars in front of the windows — and writing a book, then you better have
good company. I had the best company you could imagine. Waltraud Hiltl,
Katja Markert, Martin Romacker, Klemens Schnattinger, Andreas Klee and I
shared very little office...
Develop rigorous yet understandable graphical representations of business processes
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard, graphical modeling representation for business processes. It provides an easy to use, flow-charting notation that is independent of the implementation environment. An underlying rigor...
Using HTML5, web developers can create standards-based browser applications with extraordinary richness and power, incorporating everything from drag-and-drop to native audio and video—all without any third-party plug-ins. Simply put, every web developer needs to master HTML5—and...
This book aims to help web designers and developers come to grips with building exciting, accessible, and usable web sites/applications with HTML5. The book looks at using HTML5 to serve the needs of the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities using assistive technology (AT) and older people. It aims to be a useful go-to...

In January 1999 I was preparing to teach an introductory programming class in Java. I had taught it three times and I was getting frustrated. The failure rate in the class was too high and, even for students who succeeded, the overall level of achievement was too low.
One of the problems I saw was the books. They were too...
The C++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full...
The purpose of this book is to teach you the syntax and semantics of the C# programming language in as
clear a manner as possible. C# is a wonderful programming language! I love coding in it. I don’t know
how many programming languages I’ve learned over the years, but C# is by far my favorite. I hope that
by using this...
When we joined Google and entered the fascinating world of web browser development
more than six years ago, the web was a different place. It was clear that a new breed of
web apps was emerging, but the performance of the underlying platform left much to
be desired. Given our background in designing and implementing...
These proceedings contain the papers that were presented at the 5th International
Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications (LATA
2011), held in Tarragona, Spain, during May 26–31, 2011.
The scope of LATA is rather broad, including: algebraic language theory;
algorithms for semi-structured...
This book is for software developers who want to learn how to get started using ClojureScript
to build web browser applications. This book will not assume any prior
knowledge of ClojureScript. We do assume that you have at least a basic working knowledge
of the core JavaScript language. For the sections of this book...
