Why computers are computers

Why computers are computers
By:David Rutland
Published on 1995-09-01 by Wren Pub

WHY COMPUTERS ARE COMPUTERS describes in everyday language what makes a computer a computer. The mystery behind the keyboards & video screen of your PC is revealed for all to understand & appreciate. Strange as it may seem, your PC uses the same principle, the STORED PROGRAM CONCEPT, that was invented 50 years ago. This principle is simply explained by telling, for the first time, the story of the first computer built in the western U.S., the SWAC. Built at UCLA by the National Bureau of Standards, it was finished in 1950 & was then the fastest computer in the world. The author, an engineer on the SWAC project, relates the history first hand & tells of how & why it was built & of the man responsible for its design & construction, Harry D. Huskey. As the SWAC story unfolds, the similarity between the new & the old, the PC & the SWAC, becomes apparent. Without technical jargon, WHY COMPUTERS ARE COMPUTERS will give everyone a new appreciation for their PC. It makes an important contribution to the history of computers & why & how they were invented. Available from Wren Publishers, P.O. Box 1084, Philomath, OR 97370; 503-929-4498.

Soft Computing and Its Applications

Image
Soft Computing and Its Applications By:Rafik Aziz ogly Aliev,R. R. Aliev Published on 2001 by World Scientific The concept of soft computing is still in its initial stages of crystallization. Presently available books on soft computing are merely collections of chapters or articles about different aspects of the field. This book is the first to provide a systematic account of the major concepts and methodologies of soft computing, presenting a unified framework that makes the subject more accessible to students and practitioners. Particularly worthy of note is the inclusion of a wealth of information about neuro-fuzzy, neuro-genetic, fuzzy-genetic and neuro-fuzzy-genetic systems, with many illuminating applications and examples.
