An Early Experiment in Algorithmic Composition (Lambert Meertens). 330 $aManufacturing computers in series was quite a feat in the 1950s. As mathematical as it gets, the machines discussed here were called X1 and X8. The industrial achievement combined with the background in a mathematical research center made the company Electrologica a legend in Dutch computing. The tales in this book are told by those who have a right to tell. Highly engaged professionals take readers back to their pioneering work with the machines and in retrospect unveil some of the values, which went without saying in the 1960s. To disagree, Paul Klint relates the contrasting views on software in Dutch research traditions. ALGOL culture: Frans Kruseman Aretz takes the reader along to the detailed decisions on constructing compilers and shows the values of an ALGOL culture transpiring. Signposts: Dirk Dekker for the first time ?owns? his algorithm for mutual exclusion. In particle physics: René van Dantzig?s use case was an Electrologica X8 computer controlling two other computers in three-dimensional detection of colliding particles. Early steps in AI: Lambert Meertens? tale of the X8 machine composing a violin quartet comes with his original presentation, as well as the code in ALGOL 60. The reflections of first hand experiences combine well with the second thoughts of historical research into archival sources. Historians Huub de Beer and Gerard Alberts offer a view into the boardrooms of the local enterprise Electrologica, and of the electronics multinational Philips. Where pioneers and historians meet in an inspiring dialogue, the reader gains a view on the often implicit decisions constituting the field. Fortuitously, a copy of the X8 was retrieved from Kiel, Germany, and put on display at Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, Leiden. Sparked by the very material presence of an X8, the present book takes stock of the state of historiography of Electrologica.

A high spirited Arabian Nights fantasy, the dazzling sequel to Howl's Moving Castle. Far to the south in the Land of Ingary, lives a young carpet merchant called Abdullah. In his dreams, he is the long-lost son of a great prince. This dream is a complete castle in the air... or is it? Abdullah's day-dreams suddenly start to come true when he meets the exquisite Flower-in-the-Night, daughter of the ferocious Sultan of Zanzib. Fate has destined them for each other, but a bad-tempered genie, a hideous djinn, and various villanous bandits have their own ideas. When Flower-in-the- Night is carried off, Abdullah is determined to rescue her ? if he can find her. 517 $aCastle in the Air 606 $aYoung Adult Fiction$2OverDrive 606 $aClassic Literature$2OverDrive 606 $aFantasy$2OverDrive 610 $aFantasy fiction 610 $aMagic 610 $aKidnapping 610 $aJuvenile fiction 610 $aLiterature and fiction 615 17$aYoung Adult Fiction. 615 7$aClassic Literature. 615 7$aFantasy. 676 $a823.914 686 $aYAF001000$aYAF007000$aYAF017010$aYAF019000$aYAF027000$2bisacsh 700 $aJones$b Diana Wynne$01449407 702 $aSessions$b John$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148893603321 996 $aCastle in the Air$93654673 997 $aUNINA
