Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems ; Vol. 4199 ; 9th International Conference, MoDELS 2006, Genova, Italy, October 1-6, 2006, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (formerly the UML series of conferences), MoDELS 2006, held in Genova, Italy, in October 2006. The 51 revised full papers and 2 invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 178 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on evaluating UML, MDA in software development, concrete syntax, applying UML to interaction and coordination, aspects, model integration, formal semantics of UML, security, model transformation tools and implementation, analyzing dynamic models, specifying transformations, MOF, bridging models, risk, trust and dependability, tool environments, OCL, roundtrip engineering, real time and embedded systems, as well as workshops, tutorials and panels.
Algoritmi : Lo spirito dell’informatica = Algorithms : The spirit of information technology
Algorithms are the heart of computer science and mathematics, since without them the use of computers would not be possible. In this book, which in its English edition has been a longtime bestseller, Harel and Feldmann answer all questions relating to this topic. They talk about the evaluation, correctness and effectiveness of algorithms, but also clarify some doubts about programming techniques and also refer to the very current discussion on quantum computing. The book is useful both as a basic text for an introductory university course in computer science, and as a general introduction to natural sciences, mathematics or engineering.
