Abstract
This year the whole world celebrates the five-hundredth birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus, the famous Polish astronomer and mathematician. In 1543, Copernicus published his book, Concerning the Revolutions of Celestial Spheres, which described a new theory about the relative physical movements of the earth, the planets, and the sun. It was in direct contradiction with the earth-centered theories which had been established by Ptolemy 1400 years earlier.

ACM Turing award lecturesCopernicus completely reoriented our view of astronomical phenomena when he suggested that the earth revolves about the sun. There is a growing feeling that data processing people would benefit if they were to accept a radically new point of view, one ...
That Copernican Moment
What happens if David Deutsch's theories are correct, and we're living in not just one universe but a collection of tightly parallel universes that make up a multiverse? The Web extra at http://youtu.be/sl7wr1PosHc is an audio discussion of the Science ...
System level concurrency control for distributed database systems
A distributed database system is one in which the database is spread among several sites and application programs “move” from site to site to access and update the data they need. The concurrency control is that portion of the system that responds to ...
