Combining a large amount of new data, more powerful computer modelling and the latest thinking on sustainability, ecological footprinting and limits, this updated edition of 'Limits to Growth' makes an even more urgent case for a rapid readjustment of the global economy toward a…

"This book presents a "practical theory" of reactive systems, with formal foundations in the temporal logic of actions. The theory supports incremental development of operational, object-oriented models in steps that preserve already established properties. Models are given in a…

Soft matter (polymers, colloids, surfactants and liquid crystals) are an important class of materials in modern technology. They also form the basis of many future technologies, for example in medical and environmental applications. Soft matter shows complex behaviour between fl…
How do social structures and group behaviours arise from the interaction of individuals? This text approaches this question with computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviours such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat and trade are considered.

[This book] brings data on overshoot and global ecological collapse to the present moment. It provides a short course in the World3 computer model, types of growth, and the various kinds of over-shoot likely to occur in the current century. While it remains to be seen whether pu…

The transition from sequential to parallel computation is an area of critical concern in today's computer technology, particularly in architecture, programming languages, systems, and artificial intelligence. This book addresses central issues in concurrency, and by producing bo…

The more than twenty contributions in this book, all new and previously unpublished, provide an up-to-date survey of contemporary research on computational modeling of the visual system. The approaches represented range from neurophysiology to psychophysics, and from retinal fun…
In thirty original contributions, leading researchers provide a working definition of computational neuroscience as the area in which problems lie simultaneously within computer science and neuroscience. They review the emerging field in historical and philosophical overviews an…
