Detailed study of a remarkable little car that, when it appeared in 1969, was considered a mish-mash of ideas, and not a ‘proper’ Porsche. It’s also the story of the ‘little’ guys … the privateers and dealer teams who did most of the development that turned the 914 into great little racer.

The exciting adventures of a boy and his pet...werewolf! When his big, hairy hound turns into a boy, Nat discovers he's caught up in a weird government conspiracy to train wolven as weapons!With his big snaggly teeth, patchy black fur, and glowing golden eyes, Woody is far from the cutest of dogs, yet Nat is strangely drawn to the rough mutt that howls at the moon. And before long Nat discovers that Woody's not a dog at all--he's a wolven: a shape-shifter who changes from wolf to boy without much warning. A secret government agency knows about Woody's mutant status, too, and wants to trap him and turn him into a hairy new breed of bioweapon. To escape capture, and to make sense of Woody's strange identity, the two friends--boy and werewolf--set off on a great adventure.
The aim of this book is to present fundamentals of algebraic specifications with respect to the following three aspects: fundamentals in the sense of a carefully motivated introduction to algebraic specifications, which is easy to understand for computer scientists and mathematicians; fundamentals in the sense of mathematical theories which are the basis for precise definitions, constructions, results, and correctness proofs; and fundamentals in the sense of concepts, which are introduced on a conceptual level and formalized in mathematical terms. The book is equally suitableas a text book for graduate courses and as a reference for researchers and system developers.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Algebraic Informatics, CAI 2011, held in Linz, Austria, in June 2011. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited articles were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover topics such as algebraic semantics on graph and trees, formal power series, syntactic objects, algebraic picture processing, finite and infinite computations, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs arrays, etc. decision problems, algebraic characterization of logical theories, process algebra, algebraic algorithms, algebraic coding theory, and algebraic aspects of cryptography.
