Though we did not know it at the time, this book’s genesis began with
the arrival of Cris Calude in New Zealand. Cris has always had an intense
interest in algorithmic information theory. The event that led to much of
the recent research presented here was the articulation by Cris of a seemingly
innocuous question. This question...
The world of enterprise routing with Juniper Networks devices is getting very
exciting—new technologies, products, and network developments are making the enterprise
network environment one of the most dynamic places to be. However, we, the
authors, hope to focus that energy by providing you with a detailed and practical...
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics 2011 (LACL 2011), held June 29-
July 1, 2011 in Montpellier, France. The LACL conferences aim at providing a
forum for the presentation and discussion of current research in all the formal
and logical aspects of...
In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system...
Approximation algorithms have developed in response to the impossibility of solving
a great variety of important optimization problems. Too frequently, when attempting to
get a solution for a problem, one is confronted with the fact that the problem is NP-haid.
This, in the words of Garey and Johnson, means "I can't find an...
In the early days of pattern recognition and statistical data analysis life was
rather simple: datasets were relatively small, collected from well-designed experiments,
analyzed using a few methods that had good theoretical background.
Explosive growth of the use of computers led to the creation of huge amounts of
data of all kinds,...
The specifications in this book are the result of a number of case studies performed by
researchers from the Programming Research Group at the University of Amsterdam.
The primary goal was to study the use of the techniques developed by the
Programming Research Group for the specification of real-life protocols. From the
pool of...
The purpose of this book is to provide a practical approach to managing security in
FPGA designs for researchers and practitioners in the electronic design automation
(EDA) and FPGA communities, including corporations, industrial and government
research labs, and academics. This book combines theoretical underpinnings with
a practical...
Approximation methods are of vital importance in many challenging applications
from computational science and engineering. This book collects papers
from world experts in a broad variety of relevant applications of approximation
theory, including pattern recognition and machine learning, multiscale modelling
of fluid flow, metrology,...
This volume contains the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on
Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems (TACAS
2011). TACAS 2011 took place in Saarbr¨ucken, Germany, March 28–31, 2011,
as part of the 14th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS 2011), whose...
Python is a hacker's language. With its decreasejd complexity, increased efficiency, limitless third-party libraries, and low bar to entry, Python provides an excellent development platform to build your own offensive tools. If you are running Mac OS X or Linux, odds are it is already installed on your system. While a wealth of offensive...
You may be wondering why we chose a photo of astronauts working
in space on the Space Station for the cover. We actually chose it for
several reasons. Obviously, it is very exciting; in fact, space represents
the most exciting frontier for the entire world! In addition, much of the
station itself consists of all kinds of circuits! One...
