Book Description
Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) are but two of the more recent examples of computer applications in domains previously dominated by human labour. The use of computers in such areas has increasingly attracted social science research. There are several reasons one could suggest for this, not least of them being the simple fact that public money is being provided for such research. Of course, some of the interest may be due to the wish to prove that technology is being used to inhuman ends, but undoubtedly there is also some degree of fascination involved. Can you really do all the things with computers that people claim you can? There is certainly satisfaction to be had from smugly pointing out its shortcomings, but many of the few sociologists in our own organisation are also among the most avid users of modern technology. Needless to say, they also belong to the most critical users of the technology! A new strain of motivation for social science research which appears to be gaining significance, is the desire to "re-direct" technology, or at least - and probably more realistically - to playa part in shaping future technology . The entire range of motives may be recognised in the collection of papers contained in this volume.

Book Description
This book is the sixth issue in the EurographicSeminars Series. This series has been set up by Eurographics, the European Association for Computer Graphics, in order to disseminate surveys and research results out of the field of Computer Graphics. Computer Graphics constitute a powerful and versatile tool for various application areas. The rapidly increasing use of Computer Graphics techniques and systems in many areas is caused by the availability of more powerful hardware at lower prices,' by the concise specification of Computer Graphics Interfaces in commonly·.agreed standards, and by the inven tion of new and often astonishing methods and algorithms for com position andpreserit~ti6n of pictJres and for graphical interaction. While s,o~e issues of this se.ries contain latest research results, e.g. the issues in window management systems or user interface manage ment systems, this book has the character of a state-of-the-art survey on important areas .of Computer Graphics. Starting from current practice and agreed consens, it will lead to the latest achievements in this field. The contributions in this issue are largely based on tutorials and seminars held at the Eurographics conferences 1984 in Copen hagen and 1985 in Nice.

Book Description
Cet ouvrage présente les principes généraux intervenant dans la conception des ordinateurs. Il permet de mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement, étape nécessaire à une meilleure utilisation des ressources. L’accent est mis sur les briques composant une machine, leurs fonctions et leurs interactions. Les liens entre ressources logicielles et matérielles sont présentés chaque fois que nécessaire. La constitution d’un processeur, son fonctionnement et les mécanismes qui lui permettent de communiquer avec l’« extérieur » sont exposés. La notion de hiérarchie de mémoire est abordée pour ensuite présenter les architectures des mémoires caches et la gestion en mémoire virtuelle. Enfin, les problèmes liés à l’introduction du parallélisme dans les architectures sont envisagés : solutions matérielles et logicielles dans les architectures pipelines, problèmes de cohérence de mémoire et mise en œuvre des architectures superscalaires. Les auteurs Gérard Blanchet et Bertrand Dupouy sont tous deux enseignants-chercheurs au sein de Telecom Paristech. Membres, respectivement, des départements « Traitement du signal et des images » et « Informatique et réseaux », ils sont tous deux auteurs de plusieurs ouvrages et articles de synthèse traitant de l’architecture des ordinateurs ou des architectures spécialisées.

Book Description
La fiabilité des systèmes complexes est un défi majeur pour les entreprises industrielles. Ces dernières doivent répondre aux exigences des donneurs d’ordre dont le non-respect entraînerait des pénalités compromettant les marchés futurs. L’un des enjeux majeurs de l’optimisation fiabiliste est d’établir une surveillance rigoureuse, capable de prédire et de détecter les modes de défaillances des systèmes étudiés. Cet ouvrage présente les avancées de la recherche et de l’industrie appliquées aux domaines de l’optimisation, de la fiabilité et de la prise en compte des incertitudes en mécanique. Ce couplage est à la base de la compétitivité des entreprises dans les secteurs de l’automobile, de l’aéronautique, du génie civil ou encore de la défense. Accompagné d’exemples détaillés, Incertitudes, optimisation et fiabilité des structures présente les nouveaux outils de conception les plus performants. Il s’adresse aux ingénieurs et aux enseignants-chercheurs.

Book Description
An enlightened discussion of all relevant aspects of architecture shows the necessity for revision of commonly held assumptions about the nature of architectural history, theory, representation, and ideation; the production of buildings in the postindustrial city; and professional ethics. These topics provide the basis for the fourteen interdisciplinary papers presented here. The introductory section includes an examination of the epistemological origins of technology in the early modern European context and two alternative visions of ethics and its potential relevance for architecture. The second part presents four perspectives on important questions about how we represent buildings and the ethical values involved in that representation. "Ethics and Poetics in the Context of Technological Production" considers the role of philosophical ethics (i.e., a rational structure of categories in architectural practice) and the possibility, and desirability, of incorporating ethical reflections into the generation of architectural form. "The Architectural Uses of History and Narrative in a Technocratic World" explores alternatives for articulating an ethical attitude in forms of discourse other than philosophy and science. These papers were originally presented at the bilingual symposium "Architecture, Ethics, and Technology" held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal in 1991.
