Beschreibung

The best selling 'Algorithmics' presents the most important, concepts, methods and results that are fundamental to the science of computing. It starts by introducing the basic ideas of algorithms, including their structures and methods of data manipulation. It then goes on to demonstrate how to design accurate and efficient algorithms, and discusses their inherent limitations. As the author himself says in the preface to the book; 'This book attempts to present a readable account of some of the most important and basic topics of computer science, stressing the fundamental and robust nature of the science in a form that is virtually independent of the details of specific computers, languages and formalisms'.

Zusammenfassung

David Harel has been at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel since 1980. He was Department Head from 1989-95, and was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science between 1998 and 2004. He was also co-founder of I-Logix, Inc. He received his PhD from MIT in 1978, and has spent time at IBM Yorktown Heights, and sabbaticals at Carnegie-Mellon University, Cornell University, and the University of Edinburgh. In the past he worked mainly in theoretical computer science (logic, computability, automata, database theory), and he now works mainly on software and systems engineering and on modeling biological systems. He is the inventor of statecharts and co-inventor of live sequence charts, and co-designed Statemate, Rhapsody, the Play-Engine and PlayGo. Among his awards are the ACM Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award (1992), the Israel Prize (2004), the ACM Software System Award (2007), the Emet Prize (2010), and three honorary degrees. He is a Fellow of the ACM, the IEEE and the AAAS, and a member of the Academia Europaea and the Israel Academy of Sciences. / David Harel ist der Dekan der Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik des Weizmann-Instituts in Rehovot in Israel. Seine Forschungsinteressen liegen in der theoretischen Informatik, mit den Schwerpunkten Berechenbarkeit, Automatentheorie und Logik der Programmierung. Im Jahr 1992 erhielt er für herausragende Lehre den Karlstrom-Preis der Association for Computing Machinery und 1997 den Softwarepreis des israelischen Ministerpräsidenten. David Harel ist vielfacher Buchautor, und wurde einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit durch eine Reihe von Fernsehinterviews bekannt, die er mit herausragenden Mthematikern und Informatikern für einen israelischen Sender durchführte.
