This introduction to the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) describes some of the best-understood neural networks in the animal kingdom at cellular, network, behavioral, comparative, and
McClelland and Rumelhart's "Parallel Distributed Processing "was the first book to present a definitive account of the newly revived connectionist/neural net paradigm for artificial intelligence and c
Motivated by the remarkable fluidity of memory the way in which items are pulled spontaneously and effortlessly from our memory by vague similarities to what is currently occupying our attention "Spar
Although there has been a tremendous growth of interest in parallel architecture and parallel processing in recent years, comparatively little work has been done on the problem of characterizing paral
Most aspects of our private and social lives - our safety, the integrity of the financial system, the functioning of utilities and other services, and national security - now depend on computing. But
The rapid growth of electronic commerce, along with changes in information, computing, and communications, is having a profound effect on the United States economy. President Clinton recently directed
This history of computing focuses not on chronology (what came first and who deserves credit for it) but on the actual architectures of the first machines that made electronic computing a practical re
The networks that comprise cyberspace were originally created at the behest of government agencies, military contractors and allied educational institutions. However, recently a growing number of thes
This work synthesizes ideas from a number of different disciplines to arrive at a philosophy of creativity for the digital age. Drawing ideas from music, computing, art and philosophy, it explores the
"Concurrent Aggregates" addresses a key problem in programming languages for massively parallel machines: how to write programs that are both modular and highly concurrent. It describes a novel approa
"Understanding Neural Networks" is a textbook and workbook that provides an interactive learning environment. With or without the aid of a classroom instructor, it allows students and other users to l
Theoretical computer science provides the foundations for understanding and exploiting the concepts and mechanisms in computing and information processing. This handbook will provide professionals and

Using the tools of complexity theory, Stephen Judd develops a formal description of associative learning in connectionist networks. He rigorously exposes the computational difficulties in training neu
The contributors take up applications of logic programming, logic programming and databases, theory of logic and functional programming, parallel executing of logic programs, implementation of logic p
"The Connection Machine "describes a fundamentally different kind of computer. It offers a preview of a parallel processing computer that Daniel Hillis and others are now developing to perform tasks t
"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
Written but never published during his lifetime, this memoir of the founding father of computing is an indispensable primary source of information about Babbage's personal character and work. It bring
Broadcast media, such as satellite, ground radio, and multipoint cable channels, can easily provide full connectivity for communication among geographically distributed users. One of the most importan
The publication of this book paved the way for computing in the 1940s. It applied the idea of machines which could read and record numbers to the field of scientific calculation previously dominated b
This book solves several mathematical problems in the areas of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and parallel computation. In particular, it describes optimal layouts for the shuffle-exchange graph,
