At present one of the main obstacles to a broaderapplication of expert systems is the lack of a theory totell us which problem-solving methods areavailable for agiven problem class.
Relational methods can be found at various places incomputer science, notably in data base theory, relationalsemantics of concurrency, relationaltype theory, analysisof rewriting systems, and modern programming languagedesign.
Applying fractal geometry to science is bringing about a breakthrough in our understanding of complex systems in nature that show self-similar or self-affine features.
This volume presents a selection of the presentations from the first annual conference on Analytical Methods in Software Engineering Economics held at The MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia.
Multimedia environments suggest to us a new perception of the state of changes in and the integration of new technologies that can increase our ability to process information.
Der Einsatz objektorientierter Datenbanksysteme zur Datenverwaltung in ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Anwendungen erfordert zum einen eine weitreichende Integration der Anwender in den Datenbankentwurfsprozeß, zum anderen ergeben sich neue, bisher nur unzureichend berücksichtigte Anforderungen im Hinblick auf den Softwareentwurf.
The mathematical theory of computation has given rise to two important ap- proaches to the informal notion of "e;complexity"e;: Kolmogorov complexity, usu- ally a complexity measure for a single object such as a string, a sequence etc.
Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience, computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory.
The Summer School in Marktoberdorf 1990 had as its overall theme the development of programs as an activity that can be carried out based on and supported by a mathematical method.
Scientific visualization is a new and rapidly growing areain which efforts from computer graphics research and manyscientific and engineering disciplines are integrated.
This volume is a record of the first Eurographics Workshop on Multimedia, held at the department of Numerical Analysis and Computing Science (NADA), Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, April 18-19, 1991.
This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Computer Graphics and Education '91 Conference, held from 4th to 6th Apri11991, in Begur, Spain.
Background A group of UKexperts on Scientific Visualization and its associated applications gathered at The Cosener's House in Abingdon, Oxford- shire (UK) in February 1991 to consider all aspects of scientific visualization and to produce a number of documents: * a detailed summary of current knowledge, techniques and appli- cations in the field (this book); * an Introductory Guide to Visualization that could be widely dis- tributed to the UK academic community as an encouragement to use visualization techniques and tools in their work; * a Management Report (to the UK Advisory Group On Computer Graphics - AGOCG) documenting the principal results of the workshop and making recommendations as appropriate.
The present book is based on the conference Software Development and Reality Construction held at SchloB Eringerfeld in Germany, September 25 - 30, 1988.
The Marktoberdorf Summer Schools on Informatics were started in 1970, with the intention to convene every second or third year a group of top researchers in computing, devoted to preach their most recent results to an elite of advanced students - young and most promising people - and prepared to stand their questions, criticism and suggestions.
In vielen verschiedenen Disziplinen der Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften produzieren Meßverfahren, Experimente und Computersimulationen immer größer werdende Mengen von Ergebnisdaten.
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "e;Computer algorithms for solving linear algebraic equations: the state of the art"e; was held September 9-21, 1990, at II Ciocco, Barga, Italy.
This book is based on lectures presented at an international workshop on geometric modeling held at Hewlett Packard GmbH in Boblingen, FRG, in June 1990.
Dieses Buch wendet sich an alle, die sich mit dem Einsatz von Datenbanksystemen im Bereich der sogenannten Nicht-Standard-Anwendungen - CAD/CAM, Robotik, Künstliche Intelligenz usw.
