Inhaltsangabe

Twenty-four articles from the November 1996 workshop investigate the reconstruction of trees or ranking hierarchies from dissimilarity or entity-to-character data, the use of hierarchies for modeling evolution and other processes, and the combining of gene trees. Included are mathematical treatments of hierarchies in the frameworks of set systems, linear subspaces, graph objects, and tree metrics in their analyses. Such current applications as learning robots, intron evolution, and the development of language are addressed. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
