Why embodied approaches to cognition are better able to address the performative dimensions of art than the dualistic conceptions fundamental to theories of digital computing. In Making Sense, Simon
In Making Sense, Simon Penny proposes that internalist conceptions of cognition have minimal purchase on embodied cognitive practices. Much of the cognition involved in arts practices remains invisib
Computer scientists, electrical engineers, and other researchers from India and Iran present 12 essays on the use of bio-inspired computing for information retrieval applications. They discuss the
Cloud Computing in Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences provides the latest information on this relatively new platform for scientific computing, which has great possibilities and challenges, including pric
Computing is not simply about hardware or software, or calculation or applications. Computing, writes Paul Rosenbloom, is an exciting and diverse, yet remarkably coherent, scientific enterprise that i
The emergence of cloud computing marks the moment when computing has become, materially and symbolically, infrastructure -- a sociotechnical system that is ubiquitous, essential, and foundational. Inc

The main purpose of the proposed book is to elucidate the reader about the scope and application of evolutionary algorithms in solving supply chain problems. The book shall cover a wide range of suppl
Starting from the premise that understanding the foundations of concurrentprogramming is key to developing distributed computing systems, this book first presents thefundamental theories of concurrent
Today, women earn a relatively low percentage of computer science degrees and holdproportionately few technical computing jobs. Meanwhile, the stereotype of the male "computergeek" seems to be everywh
The completely updated second edition of a guide to Beowulf cluster computing. Use of Beowulf clusters (collections of off-the-shelf commodity computers programmed to act in concert, resulting in su
Published ahead of its time, this trendsetting textbook was first introduced to electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science instructors in 1999. Since then, Patt and Patels "Intr
This book presents the state-of-the-art in supercomputer simulation. It includes the latest findings from leading researchers using systems from the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS).
