Introduction -- A brief survey of main interpretations of quantum mechanics -- A brief survey of many-valued logics -- Fuzzy sets and many-valued logics -- Many-valued logics in quantum mechanics -- Birkhoff–von Neumann quantum logic -- Birkhoff–von Neumann quantum logic as infinite-valued Łukasiewicz logic -- Perspectives -- The many-valued interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Sommario/riassunto

This Brief presents steps towards elaborating a new interpretation of quantum mechanics based on a specific version of Łukasiewicz infinite-valued logic. It begins with a short survey of main interpretations of quantum mechanics already proposed, as well as various models of many-valued logics and previous attempts to apply them for the description of quantum phenomena. The prospective many-valued interpretation of quantum mechanics is soundly based on a theorem concerning the isomorphic representation of Birkhoff-von Neumann quantum logic in the form of a special Łukasiewicz infinite-valued logic endowed with partially defined conjunctions and disjunctions.

Sommario/riassunto

Without language, not much else would exist: no writing, no computer – as a matter of fact, no technical or medical progress that make our lives less painful, and easier indeed; but also not some horrors that characterize our world. In fact, language is what defines humans and



distinguishes them from other living beings – and is the basis of all other developments. How is it possible that something as complex and fascinating as 'language' has come into being at all? How does language 'work'? And how did it develop? What is common to all languages – and why are there so many? Further questions are how man began to write, and how printing developed – in which languages? Why not in any language? And does this teach us anything for further developments? In trying to answer these and other questions, we experience an exciting history of scientific research. The Author Hans Giessen is a double habilitated professor and affiliated with the University of Helsinki (Finland), Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce (Poland), and Saarland University in Saarbrücken (Germany). He was knighted, as a Chevalier de l’Ordre national du Mérite, by the French president. His works have been translated into several languages.

Sommario/riassunto

This book includes selected papers of the 6th IFIP WG 10.2 International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems, SEUS 2008, held on Capri, Italy, in October 2008. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on model-driven development; middleware; real time; quality of service and performance; applications; pervasive and mobile systems: wireless



embedded systems; synthesis, verification and protection.
