This book was first published in 1983 as a practitioners' guide to the Commercial Court. In two years it has established itself as a major work in a complex field. It is an indication of the dynamic nature of the Court that a second edition is needed within three years. In its second edition - The Practive and Procedure of the Commercial Court follows the same step by step, constructive approach to practising in this rapidly-evolving area of law. The original work has been revised to take account of the many changes in procedure consequent on appeals from arbitration awards under the Arbitration Act 1979; the Report of the Commercial Court Committee Working Party and consolidation of the practice relating to Mareva injunctions - thus building on the in-depth analysis of the first edition.

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the First International Workshop on Implementing Automata, WIA'96, held in London, Ontario, Canada, in August 1996. The volume presents 13 revised full papers together with an introduction and survey. The papers explore the use of software tools in formal language theory; various issues involved in the implementation of automata of all types are discussed. As the first book focusing on implementing automata, this collection of research papers defines the state of the art in the area. Generally speaking, the book advocates the practice of theory in computer science.
