In recent years, object-oriented programming has emerged as the dominant computer programming style, and object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java enjoy wide use in academia and industry. This te
Most art and technology projects pair artists with engineers or scientists: theartist has the conception, and the technical person provides the know-how. John Maeda is an artistand a computer scientis
A computer science text bridging the gap between the perceived impenetrability of computability and complexity theory and practical programming problems. Jones (computer science, U. of Copenhagen) of
Computer technology is making possible new worlds of expression that are alreadybeing explored by a growing subculture of artists, musicians, virtual reality enthusiasts, andcyberpunks. In Digital Man
Chapters focus on four interrelated areas: applications and algorithms, device technology, architecture and systems, and software technology. Building a computer ten times more powerful than all the
Pictures that are made, not taken, are the focus of this exciting collection of works by 90 American artists who are using appropriation, computer technology, performance, and numerous other sources o
The transition from sequential to parallel computation is an area of critical concern in today's computer technology, particularly in architecture, programming languages, systems, and artificial intel
The development of parallel processing, with the attendant technology of advanced software engineering, VLSI circuits, and artificial intelligence, now allows high-performance computer systems to reac
This collection of original research papers assesses and summarizes the impact of types on logic programming. Type theory is a well-established branch of theoretical computer science that has played a
"If the automobile and airplane business had developed like the computer business, a Rolls Royce would cost $2.75 and would run for 3 million miles on one gallon of gas. And a Boeing 767 would cost ju
Innovation is rapidly becoming democratised. Users, aided by improvements in computer and communications technology, increasingly can develop their own new products and services. These innovating user
Ben Shneiderman's book dramatically raises computer users' expectations of what they should get from technology. He opens their eyes to new possibilities and invites them to think freshly about future
This text shows how to use the computer as an artistic medium in its own right. The author introduces a programming language and development environment, available on the Web, which can be downloaded
Fourteen articles by different authors describe digital audio and computer music systems made possible by advances in digital signal processing theory, hardware design, and programming techniques. The
"The Paralation Model "introduces a way of programming parallel computers that is easy to use for general problem solving, and will work for many different parallel computer architectures with any num
