Turing (A Novel about Computation)
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...
The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine
The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine

Before digital computers ever existed, Alan Turing envisioned their power and versatility...but also proved what computers could never do.

In an extraordinary and ultimately tragic life that unfolded like a novel, Turing helped break the German Enigma code to turn the tide of World War II, later speculated on...

EMS Newsletter Wonderful...The Essential Turing is a must. J. Bowen, The Times Higher Education Supplement This book (and the related website of the Turing Archive) will be an invaluable reference for...
Mind Design II: Philosophy, Psychology, and Artificial Intelligence
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 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
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...

Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It
Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It

Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It focuses on the deeper aspects of the two recognized subdivisions of Computer Science, Software and Hardware. These subdivisions are shown to be closely interrelated as a result of the stored-program concept. Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It includes certain...

A Science of Operations: Machines, Logic and the Invention of Programming (History of Computing)
A Science of Operations: Machines, Logic and the Invention of Programming (History of Computing)

Today, computers fulfil a dazzling array of roles, a flexibility resulting from the great range of programs that can be run on them.

A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in...

Time and Petri Nets
Time and Petri Nets

At first glance the concepts of time and of Petri nets are quite contrary: while time determines the occurrences of events in a system, classic Petri nets consider their causal relationships and they represent events as concurrent systems. But if we take a closer look at how time and causality are intertwined we realize that there are many...

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms (Complex Adaptive Systems)
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 Applications

Handbook 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)
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...
