Rule-based Computation and Deduction
by Helene Kirchner, Pierre-Etienne Moreau
Publisher: ESSLLI 2001
Number of pages: 100
Description:
This text first introduces the concept of rewriting which is behind rule-based systems. Then the rewriting logic and the rewriting calculus are defined and shown to be especially suited to describing concurrent and non-deterministic computations.

Models of Computation: Exploring the Power of Computing
by John E. Savage - Addison-Wesley
The book re-examines computer science, giving priority to resource tradeoffs and complexity classifications over the structure of machines and their relationships to languages. This viewpoint is motivated by more realistic computational models.

Introduction to Computing: Explorations in Language, Logic, and Machines
by David Evans - University of Virginia
An introduction to the most important ideas in computing. It focuses on how to describe information processes by defining procedures, how to analyze the costs required to carry out a procedure, and the limits of what can be computed mechanically.
