Computer Science & Information Science 2014 Computer Science & Information Science 2014 press.princeton.edu TEXTBOOKS LETTER FROM THE ADVISORS The elds of computer science and information science have had unquestioned impact over the several decades of their existence. As academic disciplines, they have evolved to take a central role in science, mathematics, and engineering at universities and research institutions around the world. They have a rich history that connects to David Hilbert, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Alonzo Church, Claude Shannon, and many other leading mathematicians and scientists of the twentieth century. Computer science and information science now encompass core areas such as algorithms and data structures, programming methodology and languages, theoretical computer science, computer architecture, arti cial intelligence, networking and communications, database sys- tems, parallel and distributed computation, cryptography, information theory, privacy and security, machine learning, computer-human interaction, computer graphics, and operating systems. These elds are all expanding and have direct impact on the development of the com- putational and communication infrastructure that surrounds us today. Research in computer science and information science now provides a foundation for research in many other elds, from computational biology and chemistry to physics, neuroscience, and all subareas of engineering. Indeed, computation and information now play an essen- tial role in science, as scientists are confronted with massive amounts of data, computational models, and large-scale simulations of natural phenomena. More broadly, academics in all elds are recognizing the essential role of computer science and information science in the production and dissemination of knowledge in their discipline. As evidenced by the titles in this catalog, Princeton University Press has a history of publishing in these areas and is now announcing the formalization of a new book list dedicated to computer science and information science. It will include a select list of advanced eld-shaping textbooks, outstanding research monographs, and excellent trade books of broad interest covering the areas mentioned above. We see this expansion as a logical extension of what Princeton University Press has published across the disciplines in recent years. As advisors to this publishing venture, we hope that you will o er your suggestions or even consider contributing to a list that includes books by many leaders who have made computer science and information science what they are today.
