Turing (A Novel about Computation)Our hero is Turing, an interactive tutoring program and namesake (or virtual emanation?) of Alan Turing, World War II code breaker and father of computer science. In this unusual novel, Turing's idiosyncratic version of intellectual history from a computational point of view unfolds in tandem with the story of a love affair involving Ethel, a... | | | | |

Mind Design II: Philosophy, Psychology, and Artificial Intelligence"Ming Design II is a welcome update of its predecessor, itself a useful compendium on the philosophy of cognitive science. This new volume retains the intellectual foundations, and some discussions of classical AI built on them, while adding connectionism, situated AI, and dynamic systems theory as extra storeys. Which of these is... | | Computability In Context: Computation and Logic in the Real World
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... | | Quantum Computing
The twentieth century witnessed the birth of revolutionary ideas in the phys-
ical sciences. These ideas began to shake the traditional view of the universe
dating back to the days of Newton, even to the days of Galileo. Albert Ein-
stein is usually identified as the creator of the relativity theory, a theory that
is used to model the... |

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms (Complex Adaptive Systems)
Science arises from the very human desire to understand and control the world. Over the course of history, we
humans have gradually built up a grand edifice of knowledge that enables us to predict, to varying extents, the
weather, the motions of the planets, solar and lunar eclipses, the courses of diseases, the rise and fall... | | Handbook of Data Structures and ApplicationsHandbook of Data Structures and Applications responds to the needs of data structure and algorithm researchers by providing a comprehensive survey of data structures of various types. Divided into seven parts, the text begins with a review of introductory material, followed by a discussion of well-know classes of data structures, Priority... | | Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)This book deals with computer viruses envisaged from three different points of view, namely the theoretical fundamentals of computer virology, algorithmic and practical aspects of viruses and their potential applications to various areas. The theoretical formalization by means of Turing machines, self-reproducing automata and recursive functions... |
