Practical Guidance on the Efficient Development of High-Quality Software

Introduction to Software Engineering, Second Edition equips students with the fundamentals to prepare them for satisfying careers as software engineers regardless of future changes in the field, even if the changes are unpredictable or disruptive in nature. Retaining the same organization as its predecessor, this second edition adds considerable material on open source and agile development models.

The text helps students understand software development techniques and...

This work is dedicated to CMOS based imaging with the emphasis on the noise modeling, characterization and optimization in order to contribute to the design of high performance imagers in general and range imagers in particular. CMOS is known to be superior to CCD due to its flexibility in terms of integration capabilities, but typically has to be enhanced to compete at parameters as for instance noise, dynamic range or spectral response. Temporal noise is an important topic, since it is one of the most crucial parameters that ultimately limits the performance and cannot be corrected. This...

In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach -- which Jackson calls "lightweight formal methods" or "agile modeling" -- takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback. Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that...

What made the Space Race possible? What made it necessary? How close a race was it? And what did it achieve? The answers are connected in surprising ways. Left Brains for the Right Stuff briefly summarizes the history of three technologies-rockets, navigation, and computers-and recounts how they were woven into the rise and rivalry of superpowers in the twentieth century. President John F. Kennedy inherited a small Space Race and transformed it into a Moon Race by creating the Apollo program (-... achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon ...-). To make it...

Software analysis patterns play an important role in reducing the overall cost and compressing the time of software project lifecycles. However, building reusable and stable software analysis patterns is still considered a major and delicate challenge. This book proposes a novel concept for building analysis patterns based on software stability and is a modern approach for building stable, highly reusable, and widely applicable analysis patterns. The book also aims to promote better understanding of problem spaces and discusses how to focus requirements analysis accurately. It demonstrates...

User Stories are a great method for expressing stakeholder requirements, whether your projects follow an Agile, Iterative, or a Waterfall methodology. They are the basis for developers to deliver a suitable information technology (IT) app or application. Well-structured user stories express a single action to achieve a specific goal from the perspective of a single role. When writing user stories, stakeholders knowledgeable about the role should focus on the business result that the IT solution will enable while leaving technology decisions up to the developers. Good user stories are...

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the conceptual framework of computational intelligence aided design (CIAD), which provides expanded capability and accommodates a variety of computational intelligence (CI) algorithms. The CIAD framework will mobilize computational resources, take advantage of multiple CI algorithms, and reduce computational costs.

To demonstrate the technology in a real-world application, this book supplies case studies with a focus on the computational modelling of biological and natural intelligent systems, encompassing swarm intelligence, fuzzy systems,...

The 3rd International Conference of Electronic Engineering and Information Science (ICEEIS2016) was held January 4-5, 2016 in Harbin, P.R. China. This conference is sponsored by Harbin University of Science and Technology. The conference continues the excellent tradition of gathering world-class researchers, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of electronic engineering and information science to meet and present their latest activities.

ICEEIS is believed to be the largest technical event on electronic engineering and information science in Harbin in 2016. The focus of the...
