"This book is a celebration of Leslie Lamport's work on concurrency, interwoven in four-and-a-half decades of an evolving industry: from the introduction of the first personal computer to an era when parallel and distributed multiprocessors are abundant. His works lay formal fou…
With recent advances in natural language understanding techniques and far-field microphone arrays, natural language interfaces, such as voice assistants and chatbots, are emerging as a popular new way to interact with computers. They have made their way out of the industry resea…
"This book celebrates Michael Stonebraker's accomplishments that led to his 2014 ACM A.M. Turing Award "for fundamental contributions to the concepts and practices underlying modern database systems."" The book describes, for the broad computing community, the unique nature, sig…
The stories in this book recount significant events in the development of data management technology relative to Michael Stonebraker's achievements, over his career, for which he received the 2014 ACM A.M. Turing Award.
The content of this handbook would be most appropriate for graduate students, and of primary interest to students studying computer science and information technology, human-computer interfaces, mobile and ubiquitous interfaces, and related multidisciplinary majors. When teachin…

"The Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces-user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, hand and body gestures, facial expressions, writing) embedded in…
Introduction : toward the design, construction, and deployment of multimodal-multisensor interfaces -- Multimodal language and dialogue processing. multimodal integration for interactive conversational systems / Michael Johnston -- Multimodal conversational interaction with robo…
Logic Programming (LP) is at the nexus of knowledge representation, AI, mathematical logic, databases, and programming languages. It allows programming to be more declarative, by specifying "what" to do instead of "how" to do it. This field is fascinating and intellectually stim…
The growth of "big data" created unprecedented opportunities to leverage computational and statistical approaches to turn raw data into actionable knowledge that can support various application tasks. This is especially true for the optimization of decision making in virtually a…
