This Festschrift is dedicated to Erzsébet Csuhaj-Varjú in recognition of her contributions to theoretical computer science. Over the course of her distinguished career, she has played a pivotal role in advancing the fields of formal languages, automata theory, and bioinspired computation. Her work as a research collaborator, mentor, and organizer has been instrumental in fostering a vibrant community, these successes are reflected in the papers contributed to this volume. Prof. Csuhaj-Varjú graduated with a master's degree in mathematics from the Kossuth Lajos University in Debrecen in 1977, she received her PhD in 1993, became a doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2003, and habilitated in computer science from Eötvös Loránd University. From 1979 to 2011 she was a researcher and manager at the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, she became a full professor at Eötvös Loránd University in 2008. Prof. Csuhaj-Varjú initiated research directions in the theory and applications of formal languages and automata, unconventional computation, and distributed systems, and played a decisive role in the development of the theory of grammar systems.

Tour of Computer Science Concepts
A Tour of Computer Science Concepts provides students with a solid foundational knowledge base within the discipline of computer science.The opening chapter offers readers a concise overview of computer history, including the development of computers and the birth of the internet. Additional chapters discuss the differences between analog and digital data, as well as techniques to map one type to another; number base systems; data storage; computer architecture and hardware components; and system software and application software. Students learn about hypertext markup language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Fundamental programming concepts, such as variable declaration, assignment statements, user input/output, conditional statements, and loop control structures and functions, are demonstrated through the use of JavaScript. Closing chapters cover computer networks, data transmission between devices, and the increased importance of cybersecurity in modern-day computing. Each chapter features a summary, review of key concepts and terms, and discussion questions to enrich the learning experience.Succinct yet highly informative, A Tour of Computer Science Concepts is an ideal resource for foundational courses in computer science.

Computer-aided Specification Techniques
This book gives an overview of the works performed by the Computer and Automation Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Since the late 1970s, there was a need for the recognition of the fundamental role of adequate abstractions and higher level conceptual models in all fields of computer applications. The approach presented explores various conceptual descriptive methods of specification processing.

Introduction to Computer Science
Introduction to Computer Science introduces students to the fundamentals of computer science by connecting the dots between applications they use every day and the underlying technologies that power them. Throughout, students learn valuable technical skills including how to write simple JavaScript programs, format a webpage with HTML and CSS code, reduce the size of a file, and more.Opening chapters of the text provide students with historical background, describe the numbering systems that computers operate with, and explain how computers store and convert data such as images and music. Later chapters explore the anatomy of computer hardware such as CPUs and memory, how computers communicate over networks, and the programming languages that allow us to solve problems using computation. The book concludes with chapters dedicated to security and privacy, the structure and function of operating systems, and the world of e-commerce.Accessible in approach, Introduction to Computer Science is designed to help non-computer science majors learn how technology and computers power the world around them. The text is well suited for introductory courses in computer science.

Computer Science Logo Style
This series is for people-adults and teenagers-who are interested in computer programming because it's fun. The three volumes use the Logo programming language as the vehicle for an exploration of computer science from the perspective of symbolic computation and artificial intelligence. Logo is a dialect of Lisp, a language used in the most advanced research projects in computer science, especially in artificial intelligence. Throughout the series, functional programming techniques (including higher order functions and recursion) are emphasized, but traditional sequential programming is also used when appropriate. In the second edition, the first two volumes have been rearranged so that illustrative case studies appear with the techniques they demonstrate. Volume 1 includes a new chapter about higher order functions, and the recursion chapters have been reorganized for greater clarity. Volume 2 includes a new tutorial chapter about macros, an exclusive capability of Berkeley Logo, and two new projects. Throughout the series, the larger program examples have been rewritten for greater readability by more extensive use of data abstraction. In Volume 3 "Beyond Programming", the reader learns that computer science includes not justprogramming computers, but also more formal ways to think about computing, such as automata theory and discrete mathematics. In contrast to most books on those subjects, this volume presents the ideas in the form of concrete, usable computer programs rather than as abstract proofs. Examples include a program to translate from the declarative Regular Expression formalism into the executable Finite State Machine notation, and a Pascal compiler written in Logo. The Logo programs in these books and the author's free Berkeley Logo interpreter are available via the Internet or on diskette.

OCR AS and A Level Computer Science
The aim of this book is to provide detailed coverage of the topics in the new OCR AS and A Level Computer Science specifications H046 / H446. The book is divided into twelve sections and within each section, each chapter covers material that can comfortably be taught in one or two lessons. Material that is applicable only to the second year of the full A Level is clearly marked. Sometimes this may include an entire chapter and at other times, just a small part of a chapter. Each chapter contains exercises and questions, some new and some from past examination questions. Answers to all these are available to teachers only in a free Teacher's Pack which can be ordered from our website www.pgonline.co.uk. This book has been written to cover the topics which will be examined in the written papers at both AS and A Level. Sections 10, 11 and 12 relate principally to problem solving skills, with programming techniques covered in sufficient depth to allow students to answer questions in Component 02. Pseudocode, rather than any specific programming language, is used in the algorithms given in the text. Sample Python programs which implement many of the algorithms are included in a folder with the Teacher's Pack.
