Reviews

From the reviews: The focus of this relatively short book is on newer object-oriented and interaction-oriented models, including recent work in quantum computing and systems biology. ! the book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. ! Each chapter starts by clearly indicating what will be covered and ends with a series of exercises. ! the book as a whole is extremely well written. Definitions are clearly stated ! . Each model of computation is precisely defined, and the examples are clear and to the point. (K. Harrow, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2009) It is a pleasure to see a book which takes a different approach to computer theory. ! This short book can be used for a one-term course ! . A valuable primer for students of programming languages. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students. (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 47 (3), November, 2009)
