Super-Recursive Algorithms [Paperback]

* The first exposition on super-recursive algorithms, systematizing all main classes and providing an accessible, focused examination of the theory and its ramifications

* Demonstrates how these algorithms are more appropriate as mathematical models for modern computers and how they present a better framework for computing methods

* Develops a new practically-oriented perspective on the theory of algorithms, computation, and automata, as a whole

New discoveries about algorithms are leading scientists beyond the Church-Turing Thesis, which governs the algorithmic universe and asserts the conventionality of recursive algorithms. A new paradigm for computation, the super-recursive algorithm, offers promising prospects for algorithms of much greater computing power and efficiency.

Super-Recursive Algorithms provides an accessible, focused examination of the theory of super-recursive algorithms and its ramifications for the computer industry, networks, artificial intelligence, embedded systems, and the Internet. The book demonstrates how these algorithms are more appropriate as mathematical models for modern computers, and how these algorithms present a better framework for computing methods in such areas as numerical analysis, array searching, and controlling and monitoring systems. In addition, a new practically-oriented perspective on the theory of algorithms, computation, and automata, as a whole, is developed. Problems of efficiency, software development, parallel and distributed processing, pervasive and emerging computation, computer architecture, machine learning, brain modeling, knowledge discovery, and intelligent systems are addressed.
