This book demonstrates that the concept of an instruction sequence offers a novel and useful viewpoint on issues relating to diverse subjects in computer science. Selected issues relating to well-known subjects from the theory of computation and the area of computer architecture are rigorously investigated in this book thinking in terms of instruction sequences. The subjects from the theory of …
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of database systems and knowledge-based systems. It covers data models, database design, query processing, transaction management, and the architecture of database systems. In addition, the text explores the principles of knowledge representation and reasoning, integrating concepts from artificial intelligence with data…
This new edition provides a description of current developments relating to grid methods, grid codes, and their applications to actual problems. Grid generation methods are indispensable for the numerical solution of differential equations. Adaptive grid-mapping techniques, in particular, are the main focus and represent a promising tool to deal with systems with singularities. This 3rd edition…
This paper describes a new PCB routing system based on Al techniques. In order to raise the routing completion rates, RES adopts a knowledge-based method. It incorporates the designer's knowledge as a set of rules. To develop a knowledge-based routing system which can solve a large scale real problem, we adopted a hybrid approach by combining the PROLOG and PASCAL language. Further, we propo…
