Hybrid type checking
: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems

Many programming languages rely on static typing systems to help software engineers catch errors as soon as possible. However, having to decide type satisfiability at compile time severely...

Sensitivity of RBF interpolation on an otherwise uniform grid with a point omitted or slightly shifted
: Applied Numerical Mathematics

Interpolating or approximating functions using radial basis functions (RBFs) with centers on a regular or irregular grid has been an important topic for many years due to its use in many applications...

Generic patch inference
: Automated Software Engineering

Let’s say you are working on a large code base, when you happen to make a change to a core interface and find yourself changing hundreds of dependent files. Unluckily, the changes are a bit too...

ASP.NET MVC in action

Model-view-controller (MVC) is a well-established approach to developing Web applications. It separates control logic from the view. In the .NET world, MVC frameworks are limited and not available to the majority of .NET developers, with some...

Algorithmic adventures: from knowledge to magic

Having applied statistical computing to algorithmics in my own doctoral thesis, I believe that core computer science is akin to classical music--it is meant for only some select people. As rightly asserted by Hromkovič, studying computer science is not merely possessing a “computer driving license.” The author is...

Algorithms and theory of computation handbook

Although there is no doubt that advances in algorithms and theoretical science impact many advances in computer application areas, many computer professionals lose track of this connection after they enter such an application area. This often...

Algorithms for next generation networks

Over the past several years, the term “next-generation network” (NGN) has evolved from the initial connotations of separating the signaling and control space from the message space. Currently, the ITU defines an NGN as "[a] packet-based network able to provide services including telecommunication...

Beginning Scala

Can a book intended as a gateway drug to a programming language that took the author over 18 months to master achieve its goal? In this case, I fear not. If you are beginning Scala and have “some programming...

Codes and automata

Codes and their study are subjects of some standing, particularly the algebraic theory of codes, which is quite well known and finds wide application. This book is a reworking of the now out-of-print Theory of codes. It contains a much more up-to-date...
