Handbook Of Graph Grammars And Computing By Graph Transformation, Volume 1by G Rozenberg
World Scientific 1997; US$ 133.90Graph grammars originated in the late 60s, motivated by considerations about pattern recognition and compiler construction. Since then the list of areas which have interacted with the development of graph grammars has grown quite impressively. Besides the aforementioned areas it includes software specification and development, VLSI layout schemes, database design, modeling of concurrent systems, massively parallel computer architectures, logic programming, computer animation, developmental biology, music composition, visual languages, and many others. The area of graph grammars and graph transformations generalizes formal language theory based on strings and the theory of term rewriting based on trees. As a matter of fact within the area of... more...
Stochastic Complexity in Statistical Inquiryby J Rissanen
World Scientific 1989; US$ 75.40This book describes how model selection and statistical inference can be founded on the shortest code length for the observed data, called the stochastic complexity. This generalization of the algorithmic complexity not only offers an objective view of statistics, where no prejudiced assumptions of "true" data generating distributions are needed, but it also in one stroke leads to calculable expressions in a range of situations of practical interest and links very closely with mainstream statistical theory. The search for the smallest stochastic complexity extends the classical maximum likelihood technique to a new global one, in which models can be compared regardless of their numbers of parameters. more...
Automatic Sequencesby Jean-Paul Allouche; Jeffrey Shallit
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 65.00This is a book about the sequences of symbols that can be generated by simple models of computation called 'finite automata'. It starts from first principles and develops the basic theory, then demonstrates applications to problems in number theory and physics. Suitable for graduates or advanced undergraduates. more...
Problem Solving in Automata, Languages, and Complexityby Ding-Zhu Du; Ker-I Ko
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 147.00Automata and natural language theory are topics lying at the heart of computer science. Both are linked to computational complexity and together, these disciplines help define the parameters of what constitutes a computer, the structure of programs, which problems are solvable by computers, and a range of other crucial aspects of the practice of computer science. In this important volume, two respected authors/editors in the field offer accessible, practice-oriented coverage of these issues with an emphasis on refining core problem solving skills. more...
Algebraic Theory Of Automata And Languagesby Masami Ito
World Scientific 2004; US$ 71.50Although there are some books dealing with algebraic theory of automata, their contents consist mainly of Krohn?Rhodes theory and related topics. The topics in the present book are rather different. For example, automorphism groups of automata and the partially ordered sets of automata are systematically discussed. Moreover, some operations on languages and special classes of regular languages associated with deterministic and nondeterministic directable automata are dealt with. The book is self-contained and hence does not require any knowledge of automata and formal languages. more...
Discrete, Continuous, and Hybrid Petri Netsby René David; Hassane Alla
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2005; US$ 179.00This monograph presents a well written and clearly organized introduction in the standard methods of discrete, continuous and hybrid Petri Nets. Starting from the basics of Petri Nets the book imparts an accurate understanding of continuous and hybrid Petri Nets. Preserving the consistency of basic concepts throughout the text it introduces a unified framework for all the models presented. The book is a scientific monograph as well as a didactic tutorial which is easy to understand due to many exercises with solutions, detailed figures and several case studies. It demonstrates that Petri nets are a deep, practical and alive field important for researchers, engineers and graduate students in engineering and computer science. more...
Computing in Nonlinear Media and Automata Collectivesby Andrew Adamatzky
CRC Press 2001; US$ 159.95Nonlinear media exhibit a variety of spatio-temporal phenomena. Circular waves, spiral waves and self-localized excitations are the most familiar examples. How to use these phenomena to perform useful computations is the main theme of this book. more...
Fuzzy Automata and Languagesby John N. Mordeson
CRC Press 2002; US$ 119.95This text presents an up-to-date treatment of fuzzy automata theory and fuzzy languages. The authors also discuss applications in a variety of fields, including databases, medicine, learning systems and pattern recognition. more...
Fundamentals of Algebraic Graph Transformationby Hartmut Ehrig
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 119.00Graphs are widely used to represent structural information in the form of objects and connections between them. Graph transformation is the rule-based manipulation of graphs, an increasingly important concept in computer science and related fields. This is the first textbook treatment of the algebraic approach to graph transformation, based on algebraic structures and category theory. Part I is an introduction to the classical case of graph and typed graph transformation. In Part II, basic and advanced results are first shown for an abstract form of replacement systems, so-called adhesive high-level replacement systems based on category theory, and are then instantiated to several forms of graph and Petri net transformation systems. Part III... more...
