RECENT BOOKS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
I would like to draw the attention of the NLP community
to the following books which have been published over
the past few months as part of John Benjamin's series
in Natural Language Processing:
The Lexical Basis of Sentence Processing
Paola Merlo and Suzanne Stevenson
Natural Language Processing for Online applications:
text retrieval, extraction and categorization
Peter Jackson and Isabelle Moulinier
Exploring time, tense and aspect in
atural Language database interfaces
Ion Andoroutsopoulos
For more details on this NLP book series and on the
above books visit
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/~le1825/JB/series.htm
I would also seize this opportunity to notify
the community that my own book:
Anaphora resolution.
Ruslan Mitkov
Longman: London
which was published several months ago, but for
which initial problems were experienced with regard
to ordering, should now be widely available.
For more details on this book see

Kluwer is pleased to announce the publication of the following title:
Modeling and Simulation
Theory and Practice
A Memorial Volume for Professor Walter J. Karplus
edited by
George A. Bekey
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Boris Y. Kogan
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Modeling and Simulation: Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive
review of both methodologies and applications of simulation and modeling.
The methodology section includes such topics as the philosophy of
simulation, inverse problems in simulation, simulation model compilers,
treatment of ill-defined systems, and a survey of simulation languages. The
application section covers a wide range of topics, including applications
to environmental management, biology and medicine, neural networks,
collaborative visualization and intelligent interfaces. The book consists
of 13 invited chapters written by former colleagues and students of
Professor Karplus. Also included are several short 'reminiscences'
describing Professor Karplus impact on the professional careers of former
colleagues and students who worked closely with him over the years.

Determinism, Holism, and Complexity
edited by
Claudio Pellegrini
Physics Dept., University of California at Los Angeles, USA

This volume is the proceedings of a workshop to discuss the recent work on
complex systems in physics and biology, its epistemological and cultural
implications, and its effect for the development of these two sciences. The
workshop is geared towards physicists, biologists, and science historians.
