Androids
The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?
Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAUX 2015, held in Wroclaw, Poland, in September 2015. The 19 full papers and 2 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: tableaux calculi; sequent calculus; resolution; other calculi; and applications.
Soft Tales from a Refugee Camp
In the 1980s a Romanian family, accompanied by their dog defects to Greece where they are accommodated in a refugee camp. Exhilarating, absurd or saddening surprises meet them at every turn when, during their wait for Canadian immigrant visas, they mingle with refugees from the communist bloc, Afghanistan and Turkey. Not everyone has the same reason for being there, but camp-mates of the same mind gather around drinks and there is talk of hope and love, hatred and betrayal, heroism and sacrifi ces. These cathartic tales unfold against the background of one of the cruelest periods of history.
Multimodal Signal Processing
A comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in multimodal signal processing applications for human interaction analysis and meeting support technology. With directly applicable methods and metrics along with benchmark results, this guide is ideal for those interested in multimodal signal processing, its component disciplines and its application to human interaction analysis.
Neuronal Information Processing, From Biological Data To Modelling And Application
Recent developments in the neurosciences have considerably modified our knowledge of both the operating modes of neurons and information processing in the cortex. Multi-unit recordings have enabled temporal correlations to be detected, within temporal windows of the order of 1ms. Oscillations corresponding to a quasi-periodic spike-giving, synchronized over several visual cortical areas, have been observed in anaesthesized cats and monkeys. Recent studies have also focused on the role played by the dendritic arborization.These developments have led to considerable interest in a coding scheme which relies on precise spatio-temporal patterns from both the theoretical and experimental points of...
Automated Deduction - CADE 28
This open access book constitutes the proceeding of the 28th International Conference on Automated Deduction, CADE 28, held virtually in July 2021. The 29 full papers and 7 system descriptions presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. CADE is the major forum for the presentation of research in all aspects of automated deduction, including foundations, applications, implementations, and practical experience. The papers are organized in the following topics: Logical foundations; theory and principles; implementation and application; ATP and AI; and system descriptions.
Institution-independent Model Theory
This book develops model theory independently of any concrete logical system or structure, within the abstract category-theoretic framework of the so called ‘institution theory’. The development includes most of the important methods and concepts of conventional concrete model theory at the abstract institution-independent level. Consequently it is easily applicable to a rather large diverse collection of logics from the mathematical and computer science practice.
Theoretical Aspects of Computing – ICTAC 2020
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2020, which took place during November 30-December 4, 2020. The conference was originally planned to take place in Macau, China, but changed to a virtual only format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length. The book deals with challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development.
Concrete Semantics
Part I of this book is a practical introduction to working with the Isabelle proof assistant. It teaches you how to write functional programs and inductive definitions and how to prove properties about them in Isabelle’s structured proof language. Part II is an introduction to the semantics of imperative languages with an emphasis on applications like compilers and program analysers. The distinguishing feature is that all the mathematics has been formalised in Isabelle and much of it is executable. Part I focusses on the details of proofs in Isabelle; Part II can be read even without familiarity with Isabelle’s proof language, all proofs are described in detail but informally. The book teaches the reader the art of precise logical reasoning and the practical use of a proof assistant as a surgical tool for formal proofs about computer science artefacts. In this sense it represents a formal approach to computer science, not just semantics. The Isabelle formalisation, including the proofs and accompanying slides, are freely available online, and the book is suitable for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and researchers in theoretical computer science and logic.
