Who is the author of the 1876 Stefano manuscript?
No full textFor over one hundred years the Stefano manuscript was a private document in the possession of the Baccich family and descendants. It told a story of the 1875 Stefano shipwreck as narrated by the shipwreck survivor and the founding family patriarch Miho Baccich. In these circumstances the question of authorship of the manuscript was immaterial and did not arise as an issue. However, with the publication of the manuscript the author‟s name, or names, need to be formally attributed to it. It turns out that this is not such a clear-cut matter.
As we shall see, all informed sources attributed the authorship, and the ownership, of the manuscript to Miho Baccich. But the manuscript itself was written by Canon Stjepan Skurla – a priest from Miho‟s hometown of Dubrovnik. The question then arises: should Skurla also be considered as an author of the manuscript, or, even as the sole author (as some would have it)
Tutorial system for self-training in structural-mechanics
No full textA tutorial system based on the use of the Computer is presented for self-training in Structural Mechanics. The idea was to create a sufficiently open enviroment for the Student and the Professor, so that the created program may be adapted to the needs of a vast number of users

Formal Languages and Compilation
No full textThis textbook describes the essential principles and methods used for defining the syntax of artificial languages, and for designing efficient parsing algorithms and syntax-directed translators with semantic attributes. A comprehensive selection of topics is presented within a rigorous, unified framework, illustrated by numerous practical examples. Features and topics: presents a novel conceptual approach to parsing algorithms that applies to extended BNF grammars, together with a parallel parsing algorithm; supplies supplementary teaching tools, including course slides and exercises with solutions, at an associated website; unifies the concepts and notations used in different approaches, enabling an extended coverage of methods with a reduced number of definitions; systematically discusses ambiguous forms, allowing readers to avoid pitfalls when designing grammars; describes all algorithms in pseudocode, so that detailed knowledge of a specific programming language is not necessary; makes extensive usage of theoretical models of automata, transducers and formal grammars; includes concise coverage of algorithms for processing regular expressions and finite automata; and introduces static program analysis based on flow equations. This clearly-written, classroom-tested textbook is an ideal guide to the fundamentals of this field for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and computer engineering. Some background in programming is required, and readers should also be familiar with basic set theory, algebra and logic
