Crônicas e outros bichos
Ao recentemente reencontrar meu velho amigo de infância, José Roberto Guedes de Oliveira, muitas imagens me vieram à memória. Convivemos alguns anos de nossa adolescência em Capivari, cidade do interior de São Paulo, origem espaciotemporal daquelas imagens. Dezenas de anos estão implicados nessa memória distante da adolescência e, ao seu longo, não contei com quaisquer madeleines que me auxiliassem revivê-la. Imagens contidas nela, por vezes, vieram por vieses mais oblíquos, involuntários também, como queria Proust. Um deles foi a retomada de contato com o autor desse livro, que generosa e pacientemente me fez lembrar uma fenomenologia perdida no esquecimento que o Tempo nos im...
Invariant Methods in Discrete and Computational Geometry
Invariant, or coordinate-free methods provide a natural framework for many geometric questions. Invariant Methods in Discrete and Computational Geometry provides a basic introduction to several aspects of invariant theory, including the supersymmetric algebra, the Grassmann-Cayler algebra, and Chow forms. It also presents a number of current research papers on invariant theory and its applications to problems in geometry, such as automated theorem proving and computer vision. Audience: Researchers studying mathematics, computers and robotics.

Replication
Replication is a topic of interest in the distributed computing, distributed systems, and database communities. Although these communities have traditionally looked at replication from different viewpoints and with different goals (e.g., performance versus fault tolerance), recent developments have led to a convergence of these different goals. The objective of this state-of-the-art survey is not to speculate about the future of replication, but rather to understand the present, to make an assessment of approximately 30 years of research on replication, and to present a comprehensive view of the achievements made during this period of time. This book is the outcome of the seminar entitled A ...
Walt Whitman
" – CAMARADAS! QUEM TOCA NESTE LIVRO, TOCA NUM HOMEM". Esta frase de Walt Whitman (1819-1892) define, mais do que longos ensaios, Leaves of Grass – uma coletânea de 12 poemas na versão original, de 1855, cujo número ascendera aos quase 400 na edição de 1892, publicada dois meses antes da morte do poeta, o qual ao longo de quatro décadas trabalhara obstinadamente na obra, que pode ser considerada sua autobiografia poética. Hoje unanimemente reconhecido como um dos pontos mais altos da poesia norte-americana e mesmo da poesia de língua inglesa de qualquer tempo e lugar, quando não de toda a poesia ocidental dos últimos dois séculos (não escreveu Harold Bloom, acerca de Whitman,...
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2011, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in June 2011 as one of the DisCoTec 2011 events. The 18 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers presented at DAIS 2011 address key challenges of modern distributed services and applications, including pervasiveness and peer-to-peer environments, and tackle issues related to adaptation, interoperability, availability and performance, as well as dependability and security.
Polytopes
The aim of this volume is to reinforce the interaction between the three main branches (abstract, convex and computational) of the theory of polytopes. The articles include contributions from many of the leading experts in the field, and their topics of concern are expositions of recent results and in-depth analyses of the development (past and future) of the subject. The subject matter of the book ranges from algorithms for assignment and transportation problems to the introduction of a geometric theory of polyhedra which need not be convex. With polytopes as the main topic of interest, there are articles on realizations, classifications, Eulerian posets, polyhedral subdivisions, generalized stress, the Brunn--Minkowski theory, asymptotic approximations and the computation of volumes and mixed volumes. For researchers in applied and computational convexity, convex geometry and discrete geometry at the graduate and postgraduate levels.
Learning and Geometry: Computational Approaches
The field of computational learning theory arose out of the desire to for mally understand the process of learning. As potential applications to artificial intelligence became apparent, the new field grew rapidly. The learning of geo metric objects became a natural area of study. The possibility of using learning techniques to compensate for unsolvability provided an attraction for individ uals with an immediate need to solve such difficult problems. Researchers at the Center for Night Vision were interested in solving the problem of interpreting data produced by a variety of sensors. Current vision techniques, which have a strong geometric component, can be used to extract features. However...
