    COMPUTATION: THE MICRO AND THE MACRO VIEW

    edited by B A Huberman (Xerox Palo Alto Res. Ctr.)

    The laws and methodology of physics are starting to provide powerful insights into the nature and dynamics of computation. This book contains a number of articles that illustrate how fields ranging from quantum mechanics to statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics can help elucidate the nature of computation.

     
    Contents:
    • Quantum Limits on Information Transmission for Single and Many Channels Architectures (M Schiffer)
    • Algorithmic Randomness, Physical Entropy, Measurements, and the Second Law (W H Zurek)
    • Cooperative Problem Solving (S H Clearwater, T Hogg & B A Huberman)
    • Directed-Graph Epidemiological Models of Computer Viruses (J O Kephart & S R White)
    • The Use of Physics Concepts in Computation (G C Fox)
     
    Readership: Computer scientists and physicists.
     
    “The saving grace is the serious nature of the articles and the considerable number of useful references they provide in their respective areas.”
