Description for Interactive Computation
Hardback. The interaction paradigm is a new conceptualization of computational phenomena that emphasizes interaction over algorithms, reflecting the shift from number-crunching on mainframes to distributed intelligent networks with graphical user interfaces. It challenges traditional answers to questions of problem solving and the scope of computation. Editor(s): Goldin, Dina Q.; Smolka, Scott A.; Wegner, Peter. Num Pages: 487 pages, 84 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: UT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 26. Weight in Grams: 879.
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 ... Read more
