Structures of Computing: A Guide to Practice-Oriented Theory by Egon Börger, Vincenzo Gervasi
Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: ”Structures of Computing” aims to explain the behavioural meaning of fundamental concepts of computing without referring to any specific computing device or programming language. By defining these concepts in more general and at the same time simpler mathematical terms the book is focused on cooperating agents that process dynamic structures where the data—stored in abstract memory forming abstract states—are arguments and values of arbitrary functions and relations between objects. These computational structures are dynamic, subject to change due to rule-based actions that are performed on the data by algorithm-equipped agents under various forms of cooperation control, including in particular the reaction to environmental stimuli. The book uses the conceptual computational framework of Abstract State Machines (ASMs)—an intuitive form of pseudo-code that operates directly in abstract states (computational structures) and comes with a precise easily defined rule-based meaning—but it does not assume knowledge of ASMs. We explain the small number of basic abstract but operational terms of that framework which suffice to explain the common core of a great multitude of operational concepts and constructs of computing in a uniform way, facilitating their understanding and analysis.
