The Military Use of Alan Turing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alan Turing (1912-1954), British mathematician, was critical in the AngloAmerican decipherment of German communications in the Second World War. This experience enabled him to formulate an original plan for the digital computer in 1945, based on his own 1936 concept of the universal machine. He went on to found the program of Artificial Intelligence research. This article discusses the relationship between these developments, and more general questions of mathematics and war illustrated by Alan Turing’s life and work.

Bayesian perspective over time
Thomas Bayes, the founder of Bayesian vision, entered the University of Edinburgh in 1719 to study logic and theology. Returning in 1722, he worked with his father in a small church. He also was a mathematician and in 1740 he made a novel discovery which he never published, but his friend Richard Price found it in his notes after his death in 1761, reedited it and published it. But until L...
متن کاملSome improvements in fuzzy turing machines
In this paper, we improve some previous definitions of fuzzy-type Turing machines to obtain degrees of accepting and rejecting in a computational manner. We apply a BFS-based search method and some level’s upper bounds to propose a computational process in calculating degrees of accepting and rejecting. Next, we introduce the class of Extended Fuzzy Turing Machines equipped with indeterminacy s...
متن کاملAlan Turing Universal Turing Machine
In recent years, much research has been devoted to the synthesis of gigabit switches; on the other hand, few have explored the refinement of hash tables. In fact, few cryptographers would disagree with the improvement of the lookaside buffer. In this work, we use signed technology to show that architecture and superblocks are usually incompatible.
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Hydraulic Frac-turing Process for an Iranian Gas Field in the Persian Gulf
Most of the Iranian oil and gas wells in the Persian Gulf region are producing through their natural productivity and, in the near future, the use of stimulation methods will be undoubtedly necessary. Hydraulic fracturing as a popular technique can be a stimulation candidate. Due to the absence of adequate research in this field, numerical simulation can be an appropriate method to investigate ...
متن کاملTuring and the development of computational complexity
Turing’s beautiful capture of the concept of computability by the “Turing machine” linked computability to a device with explicit steps of operations and use of resources. This invention led in a most natural way to build the foundations for computational complexity.
