Download or read book Calculational System Design written by M. Broy and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer Science has made considerable progress in making complex software and hardware systems more reliable. This is a result of practical experience and continuous process improvement on one side and of a better and deeper understanding of the fundamentals of software and system engineering on the other side. Recent encouraging trends are a strong integration of formal techniques with practical industrial development methods and more advanced support tools such as modelling, verification, and model-checking support systems. This active area of research has a relatively short term horizon with respect to transferring technology to industrial applications. This volume is focusing on techniques and the scientific basis for calculation-based development of software and hardware systems as a foundation for advanced methods and tools for software and system engineering. This includes topics of specification, description, methodology, refinement, verification, and implementation. The volume presents new trends and insights reflecting the current state of the art in the scientific foundation of these techniques, since such a foundation is an indispensable prerequisite for advanced development methods.

Download or read book This Program is Brought to You By written by Joshua A. Braun and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalism, television, cable, and online media are all evolving rapidly. At the nexus of these volatile industries is a growing group of individuals and firms whose job it is to develop and maintain online distribution channels for television news programming. Their work, and the tensions surrounding it, provides a fulcrum from which to pry analytically at some of the largest shifts within our media landscape. Based on fieldwork and interviews with different teams and organizations within MSNBC, this multi-disciplinary work is unique in its focus on distribution, which is rapidly becoming as central as production, to media work.
Download or read book Software Engineering for Collective Autonomic Systems written by Martin Wirsing and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collective autonomic system consists of collaborating autonomic entities which are able to adapt at runtime, adjusting to the state of the environment and incorporating new knowledge into their behavior. These highly dynamic systems are also known as ensembles. To ensure correct behavior of ensembles it is necessary to support their development through appropriate methods and tools which can guarantee that an autonomic system lives up to its intended purpose; this includes respecting important constraints of the environment. This State-of-the-Art Survey addresses the engineering of such systems by presenting the methods, tools and theories developed within the ASCENS project. ASCENS was an integrated project funded in the period 2010-2015 by the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission as part of the Future Emerging Technologies Proactive Initiative (FET Proactive). The 17 contributions included in this book are organized in four parts corresponding to the research areas of the project and their concrete applications: (I) language and verification for self-awareness and self-expression, (II) modeling and theory of self-aware and adaptive systems, (III) engineering techniques for collective autonomic systems, and last but not least, (IV) challenges and feedback provided by the case studies of the project in the areas of swarm robotics, cloud computing and e-mobility.
Download or read book Regarding the Mind Naturally written by Marcin Milkowski and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturalism is currently the most vibrantly developing approach to philosophy, with naturalised methodologies being applied across all the philosophical disciplines. One of the areas naturalism has been focussing upon is the mind, traditionally viewed as a topic hard to reconcile with the naturalistic worldview. A number of questions have been pursued in this context. What is the place of the mind in the world? How should we study the mind as a natural phenomenon? What is the significance of cognitive science research for philosophical debates? In this book, philosophical questions about the mind are asked in the context of recent developments in cognitive science, evolutionary theory, psychology, and the project of naturalisation. Much of the focus is upon what we have learned by studying natural mental mechanisms as well as designing artificial ones. In the case of natural mental mechanisms, this includes consideration of such issues as the significance of deficits in these mechanisms for psychiatry. The significance of the evolutionary context for mental mechanisms as well as questions regarding rationality and wisdom is also explored. Mechanistic and functional models of the mind are used to throw new light on discussions regarding issues of explanation, reduction and the realisation of mental phenomena. Finally, naturalistic approaches are used to look anew at such traditional philosophical issues as the correspondence of mind to world and presuppositions of scientific research.

Download or read book Agent Oriented Software Engineering II written by Michael J. Wooldridge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-02-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, software agents and multi-agent systems have grown into what is now one of the most active areas of research and development activity in computing generally. One of the most important reasons for the current intensity of interest in the agent-based computing paradigm certainly is that the concept of an agent as an autonomous system, capable of interacting with other agents in order to satisfy its design objectives, is a natural one for software designers. This recognition has led to the growth of interest in agents as a new paradigm for software engineering. This book reflects the state of the art in the field by presenting 14 revised full papers accepted for the second workshop on this topic, AOSE 2001, together with five invited survey articles. The book offers topical sections on societies and organizations, protocols and interaction frameworks, UML and agent systems, agent-oriented requirements capture and specification, and analysis and design.
