p.14 Using Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition (p.21 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Todd King]

Is there order in chaos? Neural nets provide a method of finding out as Todd uses the pattern associator and classification paradigms to solve pattern recognition problems.

p.32 Neural Nets and Noise Filtering (p.26 in reprint volume 14)

p.32 Neural Nets and Noise Filtering (p.26 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Casimir C. Klimasauskas]

Back-propagation is one way neural nets can be used to detect relationships between what goes in and what goes out. Here, Casey discusses a technique for filtering out noise.

p.50 Unix Streams (p.33 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Michael W. Garwood and Andrew E. Schweig]

Unix Streams make it possible for you to develop portable, yet efficient, networking protocols. Mike and Andy discuss how Streams do what they do and how you can use them.

p.62 Comparing Modula-2 and C++ (p.37 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Scott Robert Ladd]

When Scott compares C++ to Modula-2, he finds that neither language loses — and that you come out the winner.

p.106 Using Extended Memory on the PC AT (p.54 in reprint volume 14)

p.106 Using Extended Memory on the PC AT (p.54 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Paul Thomson]

p.111 C Programming (p.56 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Al Stevens ]

Al’s project now has a bridge to Microsoft C, but that doesn’t mean he’s not interested in Turbo C 2.0.

p.120 Structured Programming (p.61 in reprint volume 14)

p.120 Structured Programming (p.61 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Kent Porter]

Kent puts Modula-2 to work with three snappy utilities that go deep inside DOS.

p.124 Programming Paradigms (p.64 in reprint volume 14)

p.124 Programming Paradigms (p.64 in reprint volume 14)

[author : Michael Swaine]

This month Michael peeks at paradigmic underpinnings and finds that future programming environments are more likely to focus on conserving programmer resources than on rationing the resources of the compiler.
