  • Real Time Programming 1977

    Proceedings of the IFAC/IFIP Workshop, Eindhoven, Netherlands, 20-22 June 1977
    • 1st Edition
    • C. H. Smedema
    • English
    Real Time Programming 1977 covers the proceedings of the IFAC/IFIP Workshop, held in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on June 20-22, 1977. The book focuses on the languages, methods, and techniques in real time programming, including debugging systems, hardware, parallel programs, and multi-processor systems. The selection first discusses experience with the programming language modula; flexible approaches to process communication; and high level process control “Esprit“ and its source level debugging system “Solda“. The book then takes a look at software tools for designing and realizing distributed systems in process control and steps in implementing a parallel code executor, including system decomposition, challenge of the new hardware, and situation of real-time programming. The publication reviews software specification language for sequential processes and petri nets for proving correctness of parallel programs. Concerns include state graphs as a model for automata and petri net application to programs. The text also focuses on real-time distributed processing system using GEC 4000 series computers; integration of high-level interpretive software with microprocessor-based distributed control systems; and software approach for multi-processor systems. The selection is a vital reference for readers interested in real-time programming.

    • English
    Annual Review in Automatic Programming, Volume 11: Real Time Programming 1981 contains the proceedings of the IFAC/IFIP Workshop held in Kyoto, Japan on August 31 - September 2, 1981. Organized into 18 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on advances and trends in distributed control systems. Subsequent chapters explore the application and technology of industrial computers in Japan; on-line system changeover using a virtual machine system; a debugging tool for real time software; and program fall-back method in real time systems. Some other chapters address file design of small real time computer system; development of a distributed operating system kernel for real time applications; and evaluation of pipelined common processor in distributed processing system.

  • The Julius Petersen Graph Theory Centennial

    • 1st Edition
    • L.D. Andersen + 7 more
    • English
    Julius Petersen's paper, Die Theorie der regulären graphs in Acta Mathematica, volume 15 (1891), stands at the beginning of graph theory as we know it today.The Danish group of graph theorists decided in 1985 to mark the 150th birthday of Petersen in 1989, as well as the centennial of his paper.It was felt that the occasion called for a presentation of Petersen's famous paper in its historical context and, in a wider sense, of Petersen's life and work as a whole. However, the readily available information about Julius Petersen amounted to very little (not even a full bibliography existed) and virtually nothing was known about the circumstances that led him to write his famous paper.The study of Petersen's life and work has resulted in several papers, in particular a biography, a bibliography, an annotated edition of the letters surrounding Petersen's paper of 1891, an analysis of Petersen's paper and an annotated edition of parts of Petersen's correspondence with Sylow on Galois theory. The first four of these papers, together with a survey of matching theory, form the first part of this book. In addition to these five special papers, there are papers submitted in the celebration of the Petersen centennial.

  • A Collection of Contributions in Honour of Jack van Lint

    • 1st Edition
    • P.J. Cameron + 1 more
    • English
    This collection of contributions is offered to Jack van Lint on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday and appears simultaneously in the series Topics in Discrete Mathematics and as a special double volume of Discrete Mathematics (Volumes 106/107). It is hoped that the papers selected, all written by experts in their own fields, represent the many interesting areas that together constitute the discipline of Discrete Mathematics. It is in this sphere that van Lint has become the acknowledged master and this expansive volume serves to demonstrate the enormous significance he has had on the development of Discrete Mathematics during the last 30 years.

  • Interconnection Networks

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 5
    • J.-C. Bermond
    • English
    Most of the articles in this book deal with static or point-to-pointInterc... Networks. In particular, new constructions are proposed basedon different tools from discrete mathematics. Many new records have beenestablished in the table of the maximum number of vertices of graphs withmaximum degree &Dgr; and diameter D. Properties of thesenetworks (and of more classical ones) are analyzed in many of the otherpapers. About 40% of the articles deal with fault tolerance orvulnerability properties using either combinatorial tools or probabilisticones.

  • Designs and Graphs

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • C.J. Colbourn + 2 more
    • English
    In 1988, the news of Egmont Köhler's untimely death at the age of 55reached his friends and colleagues. It was widely felt that a lastingmemorial tribute should be organized. The result is the present volume,containing forty-two articles, mostly in combinatorial design theory andgraph theory, and all in memory of Egmont Köhler. Designs and graphswere his areas of particular interest; he will long be remembered for hisresearch on cyclic designs, Skolem sequences, t-designs and theOberwolfach problem. Professors Lenz and Ringel give a detailedappreciation of Köhler's research in the first article of thisvolume.There is, however, one aspect of Egmont Köhler's biographythat merits special attention. Before taking up the study of mathematics atthe age of 31, he had completed training as a musician (studying bothcomposition and violoncello at the Musikhochschule in Berlin), and workedas a cellist in a symphony orchestra for some years. This accounts for hisinterest in the combinatorial aspects of music. His work and lectures inthis direction had begun to attract the interest of many musicians, and hehad commenced work on a book on mathematical aspects of musical theory. Itis tragic indeed that his early death prevented the completion of his work;the surviving paper on the classification and complexity of chordsindicates the loss that his death meant to the area, as he was almostuniquely qualified to bring mathematics and music together, being aprofessional in both fields.
