Jumping Computation: Updating Automata and Grammars for Discontinuous Information Processing
暫譯: 跳躍計算：更新自動機與文法以處理不連續資訊

這本書主要是對跳躍自動機和文法的理論導向探討，涵蓋了所有與之相關的基本理論主題，包括它們的能力、特性和轉換。

Alexander Meduna (born 1957 in Olomouc, Czech Republic) is a theoretical computer scientist and expert on the theory of computation. He is a full professor of Computer Science at the Brno University of Technology. Formerly, he taught theoretical computer science at various American, Asian and European universities, including the University of Missouri, where he spent a decade teaching advanced topics of formal language theory and Kyoto Sangyo University, where he spent several months teaching these topics, too. Concerning the subject of this book, he is the author of over ninety papers and several books, listed at http: //www.fit.vutbr.cz/ meduna/work.

Zbyněk Křivka is both a theoretically and pragmatically oriented computer scientist. Being a former PhD student of Alexander Meduna and, currently, his colleague at the Brno University of Technology, he has published several journal papers with strong focus on jumping models, and his PhD thesis, which also deals with formal languages, has been published as a book.

亞歷山大·梅杜納（1957年出生於捷克共和國奧洛穆茨）是一位理論計算機科學家，專精於計算理論。他是布爾諾科技大學的計算機科學全職教授。之前，他曾在多所美國、亞洲和歐洲的大學教授理論計算機科學，包括密蘇里大學，在那裡他花了十年教授形式語言理論的高級主題，以及京都產業大學，在那裡他也花了幾個月教授這些主題。關於本書的主題，他是九十多篇論文和幾本書的作者，詳情可見於 http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/meduna/work。

茲比涅克·克里夫卡是一位同時具備理論和實踐導向的計算機科學家。作為亞歷山大·梅杜納的前博士生，目前也是布爾諾科技大學的同事，他發表了幾篇強調跳躍模型的期刊論文，他的博士論文也涉及形式語言，並已出版為一本書。
