Dr. Peter Schrijvers ist ein belgischer Akademiker und Historiker, der sich auf die amerikanische und internationale Geschichte spezialisiert hat. Seine Werke, hauptsächlich in englischer Sprache verfasst, basieren auf fundierter akademischer Forschung und bieten aufschlussreiche Einblicke in die diplomatische und militärische Geschichte der USA. Schrijvers' akademischer Hintergrund prägt seinen analytischen Stil und seine Fähigkeit, historische Ereignisse in breitere internationale Zusammenhänge einzuordnen. Seine Bücher richten sich an Leser, die gründliche und sachkundige Auseinandersetzungen mit entscheidenden Momenten der Weltgeschichte suchen.
Harrowing and redeeming, this is the history of a unique 'adoption' system. For generations, local families, grateful for the sacrifice of their liberators from Nazi occupation, have cared for not only the graves, but the memories, of over 10,000 US soldiers in the cemetery of Margraten in the Netherlands.
The ultimate beginners' guide to mastering functional programming from the ground up
The book guides readers through the journey of mastering Haskell, starting with foundational principles and progressing to advanced functional programming concepts. It emphasizes building robust software solutions while enhancing proficiency in Haskell, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced programmers looking to deepen their understanding of functional programming.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming, FLOPS 2012, held in Kobe, Japan, in May 2012. The 19 research papers and 3 system demonstrations presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. They deal with declarative programming, including functional programming and logic programming.
The Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language has evolved over 15 years into a significant declarative specification and implementation language for constraint-based algorithms. Recent workshops have fostered idea exchange within the CHR community, leading to international collaboration, new theoretical insights, and optimized implementations. This volume of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence aims to showcase high-quality research on recent advancements in CHR. It includes 8 selected papers from 11 submissions, each rigorously reviewed by three reviewers. The accepted papers highlight leading research teams globally, with a notable representation from the most active group, contributing three articles. While contributions from other teams were desired, space constraints and thorough reviews guided the selection process. The volume begins with an introductory article that sets the stage for an upcoming monograph on CHR. The accepted papers cover a variety of current research topics, including enhancements to the CHR language with search capabilities, generating rules from constraint solver specifications, and implementing abductive probabilistic reasoning. They also delve into compositional semantics for CHR and efficient implementations in mainstream programming languages, alongside compiler optimizations related to refined semantics. Appreciation is extended to the authors and reviewers for their contributions to this re
