Download or read book ComputingFailure com written by Robert L. Glass and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Looking back, it was a time of madness: an era when billions of dollars - and even more faith - was placed in dotcom startups with inexperienced management and "Swiss cheese" business plans. Robert Glass's ComputingFailure.com is a powerful chronicle of those years, and something more: a cautionary "worst practices" guide for every entrepreneur and e-Business professional." "Glass carefully chooses his case studies for the insights they impart. The executives quoted and profiled in this book have learned hard, expensive lessons - about building compelling business models, about building compelling business models, about managing growth, and about when to ignore the venture capitalists. They've learned surprising lessons about integrating with bricks-and-mortar parent companies and about what it takes to get marketing, tech, and everyone else on the same page."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Predicting Natural Disasters With AI and Machine Learning written by Satishkumar, D. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where the relentless force of natural and man-made disasters threatens societies, the need for effective disaster management has never been more critical. Predicting Natural Disasters With AI and Machine Learning addresses the challenges of disasters and charts a path toward proactive solutions by applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This book begins by interpreting the nature of disasters, clearly distinguishing between natural and man-made hazards. It delves into the intricacies of disaster risk reduction (DRR), emphasizing the human contribution to most disasters. Recognizing the necessity for a multifaceted approach, the book advocates the four ‘R’s - Risk Mitigation, Response Readiness, Response Execution, and Recovery - as integral components of comprehensive disaster management. This book explores various AI and ML applications designed to predict, manage, and mitigate the impact of natural disasters, focusing on natural language processing, and early warning systems. The contrast between weak AI, simulating human intelligence for specific tasks, and strong AI, capable of autonomous problem-solving, is thoroughly examined in the context of disaster management. Its chapters systematically address critical issues, including real-world data handling, challenges related to data accessibility, completeness, security, privacy, and ethical considerations.

Download or read book Improving Software Testing written by Tim A. Majchrzak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​Software is continuously increasing in complexity. Paradigmatic shifts and new development frameworks make it easier to implement software – but not to test it. Software testing remains to be a topic with many open questions with regard to both technical low-level aspects and to the organizational embedding of testing. However, a desired level of software quality cannot be achieved by either choosing a technical procedure or by optimizing testing processes. In fact, it requires a holistic approach.This Brief summarizes the current knowledge of software testing and introduces three current research approaches. The base of knowledge is presented comprehensively in scope but concise in length; thereby the volume can be used as a reference. Research is highlighted from different points of view. Firstly, progress on developing a tool for automated test case generation (TCG) based on a program’s structure is introduced. Secondly, results from a project with industry partners on testing best practices are highlighted. Thirdly, embedding testing into e-assessment of programming exercises is described.
