As a part of the renovation of the learningTheory.org web site, we are launching a series of interviews with leading researchers in learning theory and related fields. We are proud that Prof. Vladimir Vapnik accepted our invitation to be the first to be interviewed.

In this paper we consider a nondeterministic computation by deterministic multi-head 2-way automata having a read-only access to an auxiliary memory.

This paper shows how maximum possible configuration efficiency of an indefinitely large software system is constrained by chosing a fixed upper limit to the number of program units per subsystem.

EVOC (for EVOlution of Culture) is a computer model of culture that enables us to investigate how various factors such as barriers to cultural diffusion, the presence and choice of leaders, or changes in the ratio of innovation to imitation affect the diversity and effectiveness of ideas.

This paper introduces a set of combinators for building lexical analysers in a lazy functional language. During lexical analysis, the combinators generate a deterministic, table-driven analyser on the fly. Consequently, the presented method combines the efficiency of off-line scanner generators with the flexibility of the combinator approach.

Haskell was 15 years old at the POPL'03 meeting, when Simon Peyton Jones presented this talk: it was born at a meeting at the 1987 conference on Functional Programming and Computer Architecture (FPCA'87).

So far, this new mode of production—peer production—has been limited to certain niches of production, such as information goods. This book discusses whether this limitation is necessary or whether the potential of peer production extends farther.

Laptops today vary greatly in size, weight and purpose, but they all have one common origin: Alan Kay's Dynabook.
