Language and Communication: Essential Concepts for User Interface and Documentation Design

Oxford University Press, 1999

Computer interfaces and documentation are notorious for being difficult to learn and use. This timely volume shows how ideas developed by linguists and language teachers can be used to design computers which are truly user-friendly. The author argues that software and hardware designers should see users as language learners and consider such...

Aspects of Semidefinite Programming: Interior Point Algorithms and Selected Applications (Applied Optimization)

Springer, 2002

This monograph has grown from my PhD thesis Interior point Methods for Semidefinite Programming [39] which was published in December 1997. Since that time, Semidefinite Programming (SDP) has remained a popular research topic and the associated body of literature has grown considerably. As SDP has proved such a useful tool in many applications, like...

Brain-Computer Interfaces: An international assessment of research and development trends

Springer, 2008

Brain-computer interface (BCI) research deals with establishing communication pathways between the brain and external devices where such pathways do not otherwise exist. Throughout the world, such research is surprisingly extensive and expanding. BCI research is rapidly approaching a level of first-generation medical practice for use by individuals...

A functional pattern system for object-oriented design (Schriftenreihe Forschungsergebnisse zur Informatik)

Kovac, 1999

A number of people directly or indirectly influenced my work and I amgrateful for their contributions.

Norbert Ihrig made my early years in school a worthwhile experience and without him my way would have been much harder.

Gregor Snelting proposed an interesting master thesis to me and, thus, opened...

An Introduction to Quantum Computing

Oxford University Press, 2006

This concise, accessible text provides a thorough introduction to quantum computing - an exciting emergent field at the interface of the computer, engineering, mathematical and physical sciences. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in these disciplines, the text is technically detailed and is clearly illustrated...

The Elements of Library Research: What Every Student Needs to Know

Princeton Press, 2008

To do solid academic research, college students need to look beyond the computer search engine. This short, practical book introduces students to the important components of the information-seeking process. The Elements of Library Research provides a foundation for success in any research assignment, from a freshman paper to a senior...

Clusters of Galaxies: Beyond the Thermal View

Springer, 2008

This book presents a review about the physics of clusters of galaxies beyond the standard thermal view. The book first gives a general introduction to clusters of galaxies. It discusses the properties of the hot, virialised gas in these clusters. But the main focus is upon what is beyond this thermal gas: the surrounding warm-hot intergalactic...

Dependency Structures and Lexicalized Grammars: An Algebraic Approach

Springer, 2010

This book reports the major results of roughly four years of doctoral research. Among the many people who have contributed to it, there are some to whom I owe a particularly large debt of gratitude.

Since 2002, FoLLI has awarded an annual prize for outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language and Information. This...

The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto: Getting from Policy to Code to QA to Value

Apress, 2014

"It's our thesis that privacy will be an integral part of the next wave in the technology revolution and that innovators who are emphasizing privacy as an integral part of the product life cycle are on the right track." --The authors of The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto

The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto: Getting...

Modal Logic: An Introduction to its Syntax and Semantics

Oxford University Press, 2008

In this text, a variety of modal logics at the sentential, first-order, and second-order levels are developed with clarity, precision and philosophical insight. All of the S1-S5 modal logics of Lewis and Langford, among others, are constructed. A matrix, or many-valued semantics, for sentential modal logic is formalized, and an important result...

Financial Distress and Corporate Turnaround: An Empirical Analysis of the Automotive Supplier Industry

Springer, 2013

Since its early days, business research has paid special attention to companies in distress situations. Its main focus has always been on the question of how distressed companies can successfully turn around. This issue is of major importance to academics as well as practitioners, but has only been partially answered so far. The...

IBM Rational ClearCase 7.0: Master the Tools That Monitor, Analyze, and Manage Software Configurations

Packt Publishing, 2011

My first encounter with software configuration management was way back in the eighties while at university – and way before I knew that it was called software configuration management. We were doing a student project and were five people working on this group project. I was coding away, slipping into experiments that eventually took the...
