    • English
    This volume in the Annals of Discrete Mathematics brings together contributions by renowned researchers in combinatorics, graphs and complexity. The conference on which this book is based was the fourth in a series which began in 1963, which was the first time specialists from East and West were able to come together. The 1990 meeting attracted 170 mathematicians and computer scientists from around the world, so this book represents an international, detailed view of recent research.

  • A Guide to RISC Microprocessors

    • 2nd Edition
    • Florence Slater
    • English
    A Guide to RISC Microprocessors provides a comprehensive coverage of every major RISC microprocessor family. Independent reviewers with extensive technical backgrounds offer a critical perspective in exploring the strengths and weaknesses of all the different microprocessors on the market. This book is organized into seven sections and comprised of 35 chapters. The discussion begins with an overview of RISC architecture intended to help readers understand the technical details and the significance of the new chips, along with instruction set design and design issues for next-generation processors. The chapters that follow focus on the SPARC architecture, SPARC chips developed by Cypress Semiconductor in collaboration with Sun, and Cypress's introduction of redesigned cache and memory management support chips for the SPARC processor. Other chapters focus on Bipolar Integrated Technology's ECL SPARC implementation, embedded SPARC processors by LSI Logic and Fujitsu, the MIPS processor, Motorola 88000 RISC chip set, Intel 860 and 960 microprocessors, and AMD 29000 RISC microprocessor family. This book is a valuable resource for consumers interested in RISC microprocessors.

  • Fundamentals of Spatial Information Systems

    • 1st Edition
    • Robert Laurini + 1 more
    • English
    The study and application of spatial information systems have been developed primarily from the use of computers in the geosciences. These systems have the principle functions of capturing, storing, representing, manipulating, and displaying data in 2-D and 3-D worlds. This book approaches its subject from the perspectives of informatics and geography, presenting methods of conceptual modeling developed in computer science that provide valuable aids for resolving spatial problems. This book is an essential textbook for both students and practitioners. It is indispensable for academic geographers, computer scientists, and the GIS professional.

  • Dictionary of Information Science and Technology

    • 1st Edition
    • Carolyn Watters
    • English
    Information science is the study of information phenomena, including the acquisition, storage, and manipulation of data, information, and knowledge. It is by nature an interdisciplinary field. Researchers, managers, system users, and students need access to tools, terms, and techniques that are spread out over a large literature in a number of different disciplines: information retrieval, database management, office information systems, information technology, communication and networking, relevant computer hardware, and artificial intelligence.This work facilitates the cross-use terms from the various contributing sub-areas of information science. With definitions of one-thousand terms, in alphabetical order, the volume provides a unified, integrated, and concise guide to the field. Each term is annotated by one or more references to the literature. Where possible, the first reference directs the user to a basic or seminal discussion of the term and subsequent references show its usage in an information science-related application. This work will be an indispensable reference for students, researchers, and professionals.

  • Motif Programming

Using simple examples and explanations, it shows you how to design and build graphical applications with Motif in a reasonable amount of time. By the end of the book, you'll be familiar with all of the Motif widgets as well as the process of application design in Motif, the basic capabilities of the X and Xt layers, and the X drawing model.

  • Matrix Logic and Mind

    A Probe into a Unified Theory of Mind and Matter
    • 1st Edition
    • A. Stern
    • English
    In this revolutionary work, the author sets the stage for the science ofthe 21st Century, pursuing an unprecedented synthesis of fields previouslyconsidered unrelated. Beginning with simple classical concepts, he endswith a complex multidisciplinary theory requiring a high level ofabstraction. The work progresses across the sciences in severalmultidiscipli... directions: Mathematical logic, fundamental physics,computer science and the theory of intelligence. Extraordinarily enough,the author breaks new ground in all these fields.In the field offundamental physics the author reaches the revolutionary conclusion thatphysics can be viewed and studied as logic in a fundamental sense, ascompared with Einstein's view of physics as space-time geometry. This opensnew, exciting prospects for the study of fundamental interactions. Aformulation of logic in terms of matrix operators and logic vector spacesallows the author to tackle for the first time the intractable problem ofcognition in a scientific manner. In the same way as the findings ofHeisenberg and Dirac in the 1930s provided a conceptual and mathematicalfoundati... for quantum physics, matrix operator logic supports an importantbreakthroug... in the study of the physics of the mind, which is interpretedas a fractal of quantum mechanics. Introducing a concept of logic quantumnumbers, the author concludes that the problem of logic and theintelligence code in general can be effectively formulated as eigenvalueproblems similar to those of theoretical physics. With this important leapforward in the study of the mechanism of mind, the author concludes thatthe latter cannot be fully understood either within classical or quantumnotions. A higher-order covariant theory is required to accommodate thefundamental effect of high-level intelligence. The landmark resultsobtained by the author will have implications and repercussions for thevery foundations of science as a whole. Moreover, Stern's Matrix Logic issuitable for a broad spectrum of practical applications in contemporarytechnolo...
