This book is a key resource that explains step by step, the essential skills required to rigorously construct and quality assure Logical Data Models. It also defines the processes required for organisations to successfully adopt them, and so align their systems, operations and strategic direction.
In the last decade, Data Models have made the transition from being ad-hoc and limited in scope, to becoming a central pillar of the Enterprise Data Architectural landscape. Arguably they are now more important than ever. It is only with a full and agreed understanding of the 'What?',...

The go-to guide to getting started with the BBC micro: bit and exploring all of its amazing capabilities.

The BBC micro: bit is a pocket-sized electronic development platform built with education in mind. It was developed by the BBC in partnership with major tech companies, communities, and educational organizations to provide kids with a fun, easy, inexpensive way to develop their digital skills. With it, kids (and grownups) can learn basic programming and coding while having fun making virtual pets, developing games, and a whole lot more.

Create and maintain Raspberry Pi-based entertainment systems in a comprehensive and fun manner. Instead of front-loading a bunch of theory and minutia, this book takes a more practical approach of showing what's needed when it's needed.

You'll first explore the possibilities and options available. Then you'll learn the hardware and software requirements based on various builds and projects. Finally, you'll be guided through building media centers, music players, recording studios, etc. Mastering Media with the Raspberry Pi presents all of this and more in an...

Parallelism is the key to achieving high performance in computing. However, writing efficient and scalable parallel programs is notoriously difficult, and often requires significant expertise. To address this challenge, it is crucial to provide programmers with high-level tools to enable them to develop solutions easily, and at the same time emphasize the theoretical and practical aspects of algorithm design to allow the solutions developed to run efficiently under many different settings. This thesis addresses this challenge using a three-pronged approach consisting of the design of...

For over 20 years, Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach has been considered essential reading by instructors, students, and practitioners of computer design. The latest edition of this classic textbook is fully revised with the latest developments in processor and system architecture. It now features examples from the RISC-V ("RISC Five") instruction set architecture, a modern RISC instruction set developed and designed to be a free and openly adoptable standard. It also includes a new chapter on domain-specific architectures and an updated chapter on warehouse-scale...

Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuit Design, Second Eition, expands the original with more than twice as much new content, adding the latest developments in circuit models, temperature considerations, power management, memory issues, and heterogeneous integration. 3-D IC experts Pavlidis, Savidis, and Friedman cover the full product development cycle throughout the book, emphasizing not only physical design, but also algorithms and system-level considerations to increase speed while conserving energy. A handy, comprehensive reference or a practical design guide, this book provides...

Systems Architecture Modeling with the Arcadia Method: A Practical Guide to CAPELLA shows how to perform systems engineering to yield a greater return on investment than the traditional document-based approach. The CAPELLA workbench is a new Eclipse application implementing the Arcadia method, providing both a modeling language and toolset dedicated to guidance, productivity and quality. Intuitive model editing and viewing capabilities help engineers focus on the design and description of the system and its architecture. This book is the first to help readers discover CAPELLA, with...

SysML in Action with Cameo Systems Modeler examines using SysML in action with the industrial grade Cameo Systems Modeler. Nowadays, embedded systems are so complex that specifying requirements, implementing them, and then validating them can no longer be expressed using textual descriptions. A number of notations, according to industry constraints and habits, are available. Among them one standard from the OMG: SysML.

• Based on a realistic example and simplified, yet still useful for professionals (no ATM or traffic lights)
• Explores everything from...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on OpenMP, IWOMP 2017, held in Stony Brook, NY, USA, in September 2017.

The 23 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: Advanced Implementations and Extensions; OpenMP Application Studies; Analyzing and Extending Tasking; OpenMP 4 Application Evaluation; Extended Parallelism Models: Performance Analysis and Tools; and Advanced Data Management with OpenMP.
