Hardcover. Condition: very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First Edition. Early work on automated pattern recognision conducted at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT. of "The common bond between the student of living systems and the engineer in the study of pattern recognition is the general theme that binds this collection of papers together. The two types of systems living and automatic certainly share certain underlying principles, and it is these that should be uncovered. Without making simplistic or mechanistic analogies or building crude models relating one type of system to the other, underlying the basic principles they share will remain a source of insight of high potential."
