Interactive Computation: The New Paradigm 2006th Edition by Dina Goldin (PDF)

Description

The interaction paradigm is a new conceptualization of computational phenomena that emphasizes interaction over algorithms, reflecting the shift in technology from main-frame number-crunching to distributed intelligent networks with graphical user interfaces. The book is arranged in four sections: “Introduction”, comprising three chapters that explore and summarize the fundamentals of interactive computation; “Theory” with six chapters, each discussing a specific aspect of interaction; “Applications,” five chapters showing how this principle is applied in subdisciplines of computer science; and “New Directions,” presenting four multidisciplinary applications. The book challenges traditional Turing machine-based answers to fundamental questions of problem solving and the scope of computation.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews:”It is interesting that a book on interactive computation is constructed as a large cooperative effort involving 31 contributors; three of them also performed the editing task. … Each section appears to be self contained–one may read in detail a chapter of personal interest in the middle of the book without having reference other material in the book. Each chapter has an excellent self-contained collection of references. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” (J. Beidler, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (9), May, 2007) About the Author Dina Goldin is an adjunct faculty member in the computer science department at Brown University. Her work on models of interactive computation has been published in leading journals. She is the Information Director and member of editorial board of ACM Computing Reviews, and a senior member of the IEEE. She is also co-organizer of a new series of bi-annual workshops on the foundations of interactive computing (FInCo), founded in 2005.Scott Smolka is a professor of computer science at Stony Brook University. His research interests include concurrency theory, model checking, and systems biology, and he has over 100 refereed publications in these areas. He is on the editorial board of Software Tools for Technology, Formal Methods in System Design, and Transactions on Computational Logic.
