Editors Goldin, Smolka and Wegner have structured 18 contributions from distinguished researchers into four sections: \"Introduction\", consisting of three chapters that explore and summarize the fundamentals of interactive computation; \"Theory\" with six chapters, each discussing a specific aspect of interaction; \"Applications\" showing in five chapters how this principle is applied in various subdisciplines of computer science; and \"New Directions\" presenting four multidisciplinary applications beyond computer science. The book challenges traditional Turing machine-based answers to fundamental questions relating to problem solving and the scope of computation. Assuming the reader has only an undergraduate-level background in computer science, it serves as an introduction to this increasingly important discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2006-09-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540346661\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/3-540-34874-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 487\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091609260172,"sku":"9783540346661","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540346661.jpg?v=1779509342","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540346661","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
