In The Runes of Evolution, Simon Conway Morris revitalizes the study of evolution from the perspective of convergence, providing us with compelling new evidence to support the mounting scientific view that the history of life is far more predictable than once thought. A leading evolutionary biologist at the University of Cambridge, Conway Morris came into international prominence for his work on the Cambrian explosion (especially fossils of the Burgess Shale) and evolutionEvolution (Biology)PhilosophyConvergence (Biology)Electronic books.Evolution (Biology)Philosophy.Convergence (Biology)576.8Conway Morris S(Simon),974926MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460753603321The runes of evolution2219971UNINA04869nam 22008295 450 991048376580332120251226195559.03-540-69087-510.1007/11963271(CKB)1000000000283726(SSID)ssj0000101072(PQKBManifestationID)11109128(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000101072(PQKBWorkID)10037490(PQKB)10365745(SSID)ssj0000316151(PQKBManifestationID)11228674(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000316151(PQKBWorkID)10263953(PQKB)11294819(DE-He213)978-3-540-69087-0(MiAaPQ)EBC3068684(PPN)12314020X(BIP)32371525(BIP)13948287(EXLCZ)99100000000028372620100325d2006 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtccrAlgorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks Second International Workshop, ALGOSENSORS 2006, Venice, Italy, July 15, 2006, Revised Selected Papers /edited by Sotiris Nikoletseas, José D.P.

Topics addressed are foundational and algorithmic aspects of the wireless sensor networks research. In particular, ALGOSENSORS focuses on abstract models, complexity-theoretic results and lower-bounds.Computer Communication Networks and Telecommunications,2945-9184 ;4240Computer networksAlgorithmsArtificial intelligenceData processingComputer scienceMathematicsDiscrete mathematicsComputer Communication NetworksAlgorithmsData ScienceDiscrete Mathematics in Computer ScienceComputer networks.Algorithms.Artificial intelligenceData processing.Computer scienceMathematics.Discrete mathematics.Computer Communication Networks.Algorithms.Data Science.Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science.681/.2Nikoletseas Sotiris E1750990Rolim José D.
