Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering knowledge from scientific data. The use of computational power for data analysis and knowledge discovery in scientific disciplines has found its roots with the revolution of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics,...

The 11th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming took place on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, May 17-19, 2010. The program included presentations of 26 papers submitted by researchers from six nations and an invited talk by J. Strother Moore on machine reasoning so well received that the question/answer...

Whether you’ve been developing with ASP.NET for years, or are just getting started, now is a great time to dig into ASP.NET MVC 3. ASP.NET MVC has been a lot of fun to work with from the start, but with features like the new Razor view engine, integration with the NuGet...

An important aspect of teaching a course in compiler writing is to illustrate the key theoretical concepts normally taught in such a course. A frequently used strategy for achieving this goal is to have a student design a simple programming language and implement a compiler for this language. Many texts in compiler writing do not,...

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...

The new and exciting field of computational science, and in particular sim- ulational science, has seen rapid change since the first edition of this book came out. New methods have been found, fresh points of view have emerged, and features hidden so far have been uncovered. Almost all the methods presented in the first addition have...

Computability has played a crucial role in mathematics and computer science – leading to the discovery, understanding and classification of decidable/ undecidable problems, paving the way to the modern computer era and affecting deeply our view of the world. Recent new paradigms of computation, based on biological and physical...

Multimedia is now a broad “umbrella” that innovatively combines different fields of research and industry to produce practical solutions that are used on a wide scale today. Some of these fields are signal processing, imaging and color science, video and audio analysis, 2D/3D graphics, information theory, compression,...
