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
Lucid, accessible exploration of propositional logic, propositional calculus, and predicate logic. Topics include computer science and systems analysis, linguistics, and problems in the foundations of
This book focuses on the relationship between geographic information systems and society. Since the early 1970s, Nicholas Chrisman has been one of the pioneers in the field of GIS. Over the years, the
The mission of the 1998 International Nonvolatile Memory Technology Conference was to promote communication between nonvolatile memory technologists and systems developers. Its scope includes both ver
The components that make up electro-optical information and communication systems are advancing in capability and function. This work discusses techniques for flat display design and extension of comm
This interdisciplinary book brings together quantum information concepts from quantum physics, information theory, and computer science. It distinguishes between classical and quantum physics, introdu
"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
In light of research during the 1980s on new ways of representing and performing computations, this book provides a reexamination of computer organization and computer architecture. It investigates th

This book provides an invaluable single source of information on the new advances in fiber spinning technologies. These advanced spinning systems produce yarns and therefore end-products, with often a
Difficult to learn and awkward to use, today's information systems often change our lives in ways that we do not need or want. The problem lies in the software development process. In this book John C
This collection explores the opportunities for and possible infrastructure in the United States: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the National Information Infrastructure (NII). The text i
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
In most current natural language systems each query is treated as an isolated request for information regardless of its context in dialogue. Sandra Carberry addresses the problem of creating computati
"Concurrent Prolog" brings together for the first time descriptions of the major concurrent logic programming languages proposed so far for future parallel computer systems. In particular, it describe
Computer systems consisting of many machines will be the norm within a few years. However, making a collection of machines appear as a single, coherent system--in which the location of files, servers,
The use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems always involves the introduction of mathematical concepts. It is important, therefore, for any systems designer to have a good grasp of the mathematical
