Biography of Don Sannella, currently Founder and CEO at Contemplate Ltd, previously Professor at University of Edinburgh and Professor at University of Edinburgh.
Multi-Agent Systems and Applications
This book presents selected tutorial lectures given at the summer school on Multi-Agent Systems and Their Applications held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2001 under the sponsorship of ECCAI and Agent Link. The 20 lectures by leading researchers in the field presented in the book give a competent state-of-the-art account of research and development in the field of multi-agent systems and advanced applications. The book offers parts on foundations of MAS; social behaviour, meta-reasoning, and learning; and applications.
Introduction to Computation
Computation, itself a form of calculation, incorporates steps that include arithmetical and non-arithmetical (logical) steps following a specific set of rules (an algorithm). This uniquely accessible textbook introduces students using a very distinctive approach, quite rapidly leading them into essential topics with sufficient depth, yet in a highly intuitive manner. From core elements like sets, types, Venn diagrams and logic, to patterns of reasoning, calculus, recursion and expression trees, the book spans the breadth of key concepts and methods that will enable students to readily progress with their studies in Computer Science.
CASL Reference Manual
CASL, the Common Algebraic Specification Language, was designed by the members of CoFI, the Common Framework Initiative for algebraic specification and development, and is a general-purpose language for practical use in software development for specifying both requirements and design. CASL is already regarded as a de facto standard, and various sublanguages and extensions are available for specific tasks. This reference manual presents a detailed documentation of the CASL specification formalism. It reviews the main underlying concepts, and carefully summarizes the intended meaning of each construct of CASL. The book formally defines both the syntax and semantics of CASL, and presents a logic for reasoning about CASL specifications. Furthermore, extensive libraries of CASL specifications of basic data types are provided as well as a comprehensive annotated bibliography of CoFI publications. As a separate, complementary book LNCS 2900 presents a tutorial introduction to CASL, the CASL User Manual.
Compiler Construction
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Compiler Construction, CC 2005, held in Edinburgh, UK in April 2005 as part of ETAPS. The 21 revised full papers presented together with the extended abstract of an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on compilation, parallelism, memory management, program transformation, tool demonstrations, and pointer analysis.
TAPSOFT'97: Theory and Practice of Software Development
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Joint Conference CAAP/FASE on Theory and Practice of Software Development (TAPSOFT'97), held in Lille, France, in April 1997. The volume is organized in three parts: The first presents invited contributions, the second is devoted to trees in algebra in programming (CAAP) and the third to formal approaches in software engineering (FASE). The 30 revised full papers presented in the CAAP section were selected from 77 submissions; the 23 revised full papers presented in the FASE section were selected from 79 submissions.
Programming Languages and Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2004, held in Barcelona, Spain, in March/April 2004. The 27 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 118 submissions. The papers deal with a broad variety of current issues in the specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems.
Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems
This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems (TACAS 2004). TACAS 2004 took place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 29th to April 2nd, as part of the 7th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2004), whose aims, organization, and history are detailed in a foreword by the ETAPS Steering Committee Chair, Jos ́ e Luiz Fiadeiro. TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in ri- rously based tools for the construction and analysis of systems. The conference serves to bridge the gaps between di?erent communities including, but not - mited to, those d...
Logical Environments
In Logical Frameworks, Huet and Plotkin gathered contributions from the first International Workshop on Logical Frameworks. This volume has grown from the second workshop, and as before the contributions are of the highest calibre. Four main themes are covered: the general problem of representing formal systems in logical frameworks, basic algorithms of general use in proof assistants, logical issues, and large-scale experiments with proof assistants.
