Shape grammars provide a means for the recursive specification of shapes. The formalism for shape grammars is designed to be easily usable and understandable by people and at the same time to be adaptable for use in computer...

Logik ist überall: im vernunftgemäßen Urteil, in der Einsicht, die den Glauben ergänzt, in Sprache und Mathematik, in einer aufgeklärten Ethik und in der Frage nach der Wahrheit und den Grenzen des Wissens. Sie scheint unverzichtbar, selbstverständlich...

Gert H. Muller The growth of the number of publications in almost all scientific areas, as in the area of (mathematical) logic, is taken as a sign of our scientifically minded culture, but it also has a terrifying aspect. In...

Automata theory is the oldest among the disciplines constituting the subject matter of this Monograph Series: theoretical computer science. Indeed, automata theory and the closely related theory of formal languages form...

This book is about some recent work in a subject usually considered part of "logic" and the" foundations of mathematics", but also having close connec­ tions with philosophy and computer science. Namely, the creation and study...

This work grew out of Errett Bishop's fundamental treatise 'Founda­ tions of Constructive Analysis' (FCA), which appeared in 1967 and which contained the bountiful harvest of a remarkably short period of research by its author...

Replacement systems, such as term rewriting systems, tree manipulat­ ing systems, and graph grammars, have been used in Computer Science in the context of theorem proving, program optimization, abstract data types, algebraic...

Modern information processing systems show such complex properties as distribution, parallelism, interaction, time dependency, and nondeterminism. For critical applications, mathematical methods are needed to model the systems...

It is a pleasure and an honor to be able to present this collection of papers to Ray Reiter on the occasion of his 60th birthday. To say that Ray's research has had a deep impact on the field of Artificial Intel­ ligence is a...

Felix Hausdorff gehört zu den herausragenden Mathematikern der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hinterließ einen ungewöhnlich reichhaltigen Korpus wissenschaftlicher Manuskripe. Sein Gesamtwerk soll nun in 9 Bänden,...

The need for a comprehensive survey-type exposition on formal languages and related mainstream areas of computer science has been evident for some years. In the early 1970s, when . the book Formal Languages by the second­...

Algebraic logic is a subject in the interface between logic, algebra and geometry, it has strong connections with category theory and combinatorics. Tarski's quest for finding structure in logic leads to cylindric-like algebras as studied in this book,...

The notion of Fuzziness stands as one of the really new concepts that have recently enriched the world of Science. Science grows not only through technical and formal advances on one side and useful applications on the other side, but also as...

This book presents a mathematically-based introduction into the fascinating topic of Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy Logic and might be used as textbook at both undergraduate and graduate levels and also as reference guide for mathematician, scientists or engineers...

A formal method is not the main engine of a development process, its contribution is to improve system dependability by motivating formalisation where useful. This book summarizes the results of the DEPLOY research project on engineering methods for...

Mathematics plays a key role in computer science, some researchers would consider computers as nothing but the physical embodiment of mathematical systems. And whether you are designing a digital circuit, a computer program or a new programming language,...

The Semantic Web is characterized by the existence of a very large number of distributed semantic resources, which together define a network of ontologies. These ontologies in turn are interlinked through a variety of different meta-relationships such as...

Over time, basic research tends to lead to specialization - increasingly narrow t- ics are addressed by increasingly focussed communities, publishing in increasingly con ned workshops and conferences, discussing increasingly incremental contri- tions...
