This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN'98, held in Manila, The Philippines, in December 1998. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 43 submissions. Also included are a few invited contributions. Among the topics covered are automated deduction, proof theory, rewriting systems, program semantics, distributed processing, algorithms, and graph-theoretical aspects.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN'97, held in Kathmandu, Nepal, in December 1997. The volume presents 24 revised full papers selected from a total of 94 submissions. Also included are an abstract of the keynote by Michael O. Rabin, two full invited presentations, and 10 posters. Among the areas addressed are programming languages, formal methods, mathematical logic, reasoning and constraints, real-time computing, networking, mobile computing, image processing, hardware verification, and parallel processing.

It has been many decades, since Computer Science has been able to achieve tremendous recognition and has been applied in various fields, mainly computer programming and software engineering. Many efforts have been taken to improve knowledge of researchers, educationists and others in the field of computer science and engineering. This book provides a further insight in this direction. It provides innovative ideas in the field of computer science and engineering with a view to face new challenges of the current and future centuries. This book comprises of 25 chapters focusing on the basic and applied research in the field of computer science and information technology. It increases knowledge in the topics such as web programming, logic programming, software debugging, real-time systems, statistical modeling, networking, program analysis, mathematical models and natural language processing.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the EP'98 and RIDT'98 conferences, held jointly during the Second International Week on Electronic Publishing and Typography in St. Malo, France, in March/April 1998. The 43 revised full papers presented were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics covered are artistic imaging, tools and methods in typography, non-latin type, typographic creation, imaging, character recognition, handwriting models, legibility and design issues, fonts and design, time and multimedia, electronic and paper documents, document engineering, documents and linguistics, document reuse, hypertext and the Web, and hypertext creation and management.

This book constitutes the strictly refereed proceedings of the 15th Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 98, held in Paris, France, in February 1998. The volume presents three invited surveys together with 52 revised full papers selected from a total of 155 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on algorithms and data structures, logic, complexity, and automata and formal languages.

This is an introductory text to the science of neurobiology, describing animal nervous systems, what they consist of, how they work, and how they are studied. Unlike many other neurobiology texts, considerable discussion is given to both human and non-human nervous systems. Written in an easy-to-read style, it will be useful for both biology and medical students. It provides the opportunity for self-testing at the end of each chapter, with objectives and questions. A CD-ROM entitled 'The Human Brain' (ISBN 3-540-14666-0) has been produced to accompany this text, and can be purchased either separately or together with the book (ISBN 3-540-63778-8).
