A Java version of the authors' best-selling introduction to the
field of computer science. This text provides a breadth-first
overview of the central topics studied in the field: algorithms,
hardware design, computer organization, system software, language
models, programming, compilation, theory of computation,
applications, networks, artificial intelligence, and the impact of
computers on society. The authors present these topics in the
context of the big picture, using a six-layer hierarchy of
abstractions. The hierarchy is based on the algorithmic foundations
of computer science and works upward from low-level hardware
concepts through virtual machine environments, languages, software,
and applications programs to the social issues raised by computer
technology. Each layer in the hierarchy builds on ideas and
concepts presented earlier. An accompanying lab manual provides
exploratory lab activities. For this Java Version, Chapters 7
(Introduction to High-Level Language Programming) and 8 (The Tower
of Babel) have been thoroughly revised to incorporate Java 2 as the
programming language of implementation.
