Technology and Foundations (Vol 1) (IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This 3-volume publication explores the driving forces that will shape the computing and communications industry, applications and research over the next 5 years. It includes invited and submitted presentations from intemational experts on the state-of-the-art (highlighting a global orientation) and debates on 8 critical linking issues selected for highly interactive discussion, with emphasis on those areas which intersect. Volume I considers: Hardware and Software Technology; Theoretical Foundations of Computing. Volume 2 examines: Computer and Communications Applications; Social Impact of Computers and Communications. Volume 3 investigates: Computers and Communications for Developing Countries; plus the Linking Issues. As a whole, the multi-volume provides a consolidated source of information which it is hoped will stimulate continuing activity and research in the field. Volume I Technology and Foundations Volume edited by B. Pehrson, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Royal Institute of Technology, Kista, Sweden and 1. Simon, Universidad de Sao Paulo, Institute de Matematica e Estatistica, Sao Paulo, Brazil IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology Volume A-51 The first volume of Information Processing 94 is divided into 2 sections: Hardware and Software Technology; Theoretical Foundations of Computing. The former commences with invited papers discussing the physical limits for computing and communication and examining developments in key areas of hardware and software. The following contributed papers are grouped into 6 sessions: system design, wireless networking; user interfaces; software; distributed systems and networking; hardware. The second section represents a positive collaboration from within the theoretical community. It is split into 6 subsections: algorithms and complexity; semantics; evolving algebras; finite automata; general purpose parallel computing; information based complexity and program speedups in practice and theory. These sessions reflect a great coherence on important and active areas of theoretical computer science and produce a dense program in well delimited areas of research.
