I became interested in ML programming when I taught CS109, the introduc-
tory Computer Science Foundations course at Stanford, starting in 1991. ML
was used by several of the instructors of this course, including Stu Reges and
Mike Cleron, to introduce concepts such as functional programming and type
systems. It was also used for the...
This book deals with the current methods developed around the world on robotic
microassembly. It is dedicated to Master’s and Ph.D. students, and also scientists
and engineers involved in microrobotics and also in robotics. As robotic
microassembly is a new way to manufacture microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS),...
The papers in this volume were presented at the 20th Annual International Symposium
on Algorithms and Computation, held December 16–18, 2009, in Hawaii,
USA. In response to the Call-for-Papers, 279 papers were submitted. Each paper
received at least three reviews by either Program Committee members or experts
selected by Program...

This Android 4 book updates the best selling Pro Android 3 and covers everything...
This book covers a vast array of information related to packetC. It is a complete language reference and contains background information on many unique parts of packetC. As packetC shares much of its grammar with C, the book focuses on being an instructional language reference and not a general C programming introduction, since extensive...
When I was about nine years old, I had an Acorn Electron, a home computer developed
by Acorn Machines and one of the major precursors to modern home computing. It
was tiny by today’s standards, having just 32K of RAM, a 2MHz CPU, and with the
staggering ability to store a massive 360 Kb on the 3 inch Amstrad disks I was using...
Expanded into two volumes, the Second Edition of Springer’s Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security brings the latest and most comprehensive coverage of the topic: Definitive information on cryptography and information security from highly regarded researchers Effective tool for professionals in many fields and researchers of all...
This book provides a traditional introduction to computer science, focusing on program
development and effective use of the C++ programming language. It is suitable
for motivated beginners as well as students with prior programming experience. The
book can be used in a variety of settings, such as an introductory computer science...
With Oracle8 and Oracle8i, Oracle Corporation began a trend in database modernization
that has culminated in the Oracle9i release. Many consider Oracle9i to actually be
8.2; I would argue that with the multitude of new features, structures, and capabilities,
9i qualifies as a new release.
Eurocode 2 is the key document for future structural design in concrete throughout Europe. To use the code effectively, structural engineers need a range of aids in the form of flow charts, design charts and simplified procedures. This book provides all these, and is written with the authority of collaborative work by members of the Concrete...
We’ve designed this book to show you how to write professional applications using Microsoft
LightSwitch.
As software developers, we understand how difficult it is to develop software in real life. End
users expect their applications to be reliable, functional, and polished. They’ll also have preferences in...
Traditional software verification algorithms work by using a
combination of Floyd-Hoare Logics, Model Checking and Abstract Interpretation,
to check and infer suitable program invariants. However, these
techniques are problematic in the presence of complex but ubiquitous
constructs like generic data structures, first-class functions....
