A Fascinating Country in the World of Computing by Larry Wos,Gail W. Pieper Pdf

This book shows you - through examples and puzzles and intriguing questions - how to make your computer reason logically. The automation of reasoning has advanced markedly in the past few decades, and this book discusses some of the remarkable successes that automated reasoning programs have had in tackling challenging problems in mathematics, logic, program verification, and circuit design. Because the intended audience includes students and teachers, the book provides many exercises as well as tutorial chapters that introduce readers to the field of logic and to automated reasoning in general. For more advanced researchers, the book presents challenging questions, many of which are still unanswered.

Mechanizing Mathematical Reasoning by Dieter Hutter,Werner Stephan Pdf

By presenting state-of-the-art results in logical reasoning and formal methods in the context of artificial intelligence and AI applications, this book commemorates the 60th birthday of Jörg H. Siekmann. The 30 revised reviewed papers are written by former and current students and colleagues of Jörg Siekmann; also included is an appraisal of the scientific career of Jörg Siekmann entitled "A Portrait of a Scientist: Logics, AI, and Politics." The papers are organized in four parts on logic and deduction, applications of logic, formal methods and security, and agents and planning.

Alan Turing: Life and Legacy of a Great Thinker by Christof Teuscher Pdf

Written by a distinguished cast of contributors, Alan Turing: Life and Legacy of a Great Thinker is the definitive collection of essays in commemoration of the 90th birthday of Alan Turing. This fascinating text covers the rich facets of his life, thoughts, and legacy, but also sheds some light on the future of computing science with a chapter contributed by visionary Ray Kurzweil, winner of the 1999 National Medal of Technology. Further, important contributions come from the philosopher Daniel Dennett, the Turing biographer Andrew Hodges, and from the distinguished logician Martin Davis, who provides a first critical essay on an emerging and controversial field termed "hypercomputation".

Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics by Mark Aagaard,John Harrison Pdf

This volume is the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Theo rem Proving in Higher Order Logics (TPHOLs 2000) held 14-18 August 2000 in Portland, Oregon, USA. Each of the 55 papers submitted in the full rese arch category was refereed by at least three reviewers who were selected by the program committee. Because of the limited space available in the program and proceedings, only 29 papers were accepted for presentation and publication in this volume. In keeping with tradition, TPHOLs 2000 also offered a venue for the presen tation of work in progress, where researchers invite discussion by means of a brief preliminary talk and then discuss their work at a poster session. A supplemen tary proceedings containing associated papers for work in progress was published by the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) as technical report CSE-00-009. The organizers are grateful to Bob Colwell, Robin Milner and Larry Wos for agreeing to give invited talks. Bob Colwell was the lead architect on the Intel P6 microarchitecture, which introduced a number of innovative techniques and achieved enormous commercial success. As such, he is ideally placed to offer an industrial perspective on the challenges for formal verification. Robin Milner contributed many key ideas to computer theorem proving, and to functional programming, through his leadership of the influential Edinburgh LCF project.

Big Data and Cloud Computing for Development by Nir Kshetri,Torbjörn Fredriksson,Diana Carolina Rojas Torres Pdf

This book provides a framework for evaluating big data and cloud computing based on how they evolve to fit users’ needs in developing countries in key areas, such as agriculture and education. The authors discuss how this framework can be utilized by businesses, governments, and consumers to accelerate economic growth and overcome information and communication barriers. By examining the ways in which cloud computing can drive social, economic, and environmental transformation, readers gain a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges these technologies offer. The authors also provide an authoritative and up-to-date account of big data’s diffusion into a wide range of developing economies, such as Brazil and China, illustrating key concepts through in-depth case studies. Special attention is paid to economic development in the context of the new Sustainable Development Goals formulated by the United Nations, introducing readers to the most modern standard of economic evaluation. Students of information management, entrepreneurship, and development, as well as policy makers, researchers, and practitioners, will find Big Data and Cloud Computing for Development an interesting read and a useful reference source.

Handbook of Practical Logic and Automated Reasoning by John Harrison Pdf

The sheer complexity of computer systems has meant that automated reasoning, i.e. the ability of computers to perform logical inference, has become a vital component of program construction and of programming language design. This book meets the demand for a self-contained and broad-based account of the concepts, the machinery and the use of automated reasoning. The mathematical logic foundations are described in conjunction with practical application, all with the minimum of prerequisites. The approach is constructive, concrete and algorithmic: a key feature is that methods are described with reference to actual implementations (for which code is supplied) that readers can use, modify and experiment with. This book is ideally suited for those seeking a one-stop source for the general area of automated reasoning. It can be used as a reference, or as a place to learn the fundamentals, either in conjunction with advanced courses or for self study.

The Battle for Your Computer by Alon Arvatz Pdf

Discover the extraordinary realities of the world’s most advanced cybersecurity companies and tech In The Battle for Your Computer: Israel and the Growth of the Global Cyber-Security Industry, Israeli Defense Force (IDF) cyberwarfare veteran and tech product leader Alon Arvatz examines the “why” and the “how” of the extraordinarily strong connection between Israel’s elite cyber military unit and that country’s booming offensive and defensive cybersecurity industry. In the book, you’ll explore the central role played by Israel in the global fight for cybersecurity supremacy. Featuring interviews with some of the world’s leading cybersecurity professionals and leaders, The Battle for Your Computer explains how the IDF’s “Unit 8200” became the globe’s most fruitful incubator of cyber technologies. You’ll also find: Explanations of how the technologies that protect your own computers at home and at work probably began their lives in IDF personnel or equipment The stories of the men and women working to protect Israel and how they pivoted to protecting her technology against attack Answers to fascinating questions like: How does an offensive cyber company decide to whom to sell its tech? An endlessly engrossing take on an equally engrossing subject, The Battle for Your Computer is a must-read for laypeople and cyber experts alike.
