Download or read book Metapattern written by Pieter Wisse and published by Addison Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2001 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To help readers build on familiar territory, Metapattern compares the metapattern approach with object-oriented analysis and modeling, offering metapattern alternatives that demonstrate its richness in providing context-oriented solutions. In addition, the author reviews major established design patterns in data modeling, analysis, and business process engineering, and shows how the metapattern provides a frame of reference for understanding, accommodating, and transcending these patterns. The author also provides powerful modeling heuristics that take into account plurality through the definition of context, and by doing so, bring consistency and uniformity to information systems."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Meta Algorithmics written by Steven J. Simske and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confluence of cloud computing, parallelism and advanced machine intelligence approaches has created a world in which the optimum knowledge system will usually be architected from the combination of two or more knowledge-generating systems. There is a need, then, to provide a reusable, broadly-applicable set of design patterns to empower the intelligent system architect to take advantage of this opportunity. This book explains how to design and build intelligent systems that are optimized for changing system requirements (adaptability), optimized for changing system input (robustness), and optimized for one or more other important system parameters (e.g., accuracy, efficiency, cost). It provides an overview of traditional parallel processing which is shown to consist primarily of task and component parallelism; before introducing meta-algorithmic parallelism which is based on combining two or more algorithms, classification engines or other systems. Key features: Explains the entire roadmap for the design, testing, development, refinement, deployment and statistics-driven optimization of building systems for intelligence Offers an accessible yet thorough overview of machine intelligence, in addition to having a strong image processing focus Contains design patterns for parallelism, especially meta-algorithmic parallelism – simply conveyed, reusable and proven effective that can be readily included in the toolbox of experts in analytics, system architecture, big data, security and many other science and engineering disciplines Connects algorithms and analytics to parallelism, thereby illustrating a new way of designing intelligent systems compatible with the tremendous changes in the computing world over the past decade Discusses application of the approaches to a wide number of fields; primarily, document understanding, image understanding, biometrics and security printing Companion website contains sample code and data sets

Download or read book Meta States written by L. Michael Hall and published by Neuro-Semantic Publications. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of Meta-States takes you on a journey to the theoretical background, understandings, and constructions of the Meta-States model itself. The aim is to fully locate Meta-States in the field of the cognitive-behavioral sciences as it establishes the emergent field of Neuro-Semantics. Meta-States is not just a model about how you think, feel, relate, act and speak, it is also a different way of thinking about the way you function as a human being. Understanding your own meta-states within this model of self-reflexive consciousness is to enter into a non-linear way of thinking and feeling. This book represents a major contribution to the field of NLP. It is likely that this work will open up an entirely new domain in NLP and offer a new synthesis between NLP and General Semantics.

Download or read book The Meta Model Demystified written by Matt Caulfield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brand new, thoroughly revised and expanded 2nd edition - over 80 pages of new material! The Meta Model was the first model that led to NLP, it is the skeleton that the rest of the NLP Model hangs around. It is an incredibility powerful tool for consultants, trainers, coaches and therapists to radically improve their ability to create change in their clients. However, there have been very few attempts to clarify the Meta Model or frame it in a more useful and comprehensible manner, and many NLP books and trainings regurgitate the same old stuff from outdated and outmoded source material. The Meta Model Demystified thoroughly updates the language patterns and explains how to use the Meta Model to create seemingly magical change simply and easily. This expanded and completely revised 2nd edition includes: The key concepts that lead to the development of the Meta Model. A totally reconfigured explanation of the classic language patterns. Examples of using the Meta Model in various contexts. Sample questions. Hints and tips to master the Meta Model. PLEASE NOTE: This book assumes a basic and general understanding of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)"

Download or read book A Scrum Book written by Jeff Sutherland and published by Pragmatic Bookshelf. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a successful product usually involves teams of people, and many choose the Scrum approach to aid in creating products that deliver the highest possible value. Implementing Scrum gives teams a collection of powerful ideas they can assemble to fit their needs and meet their goals. The ninety-four patterns contained within are elaborated nuggets of insight into Scrum’s building blocks, how they work, and how to use them. They offer novices a roadmap for starting from scratch, yet they help intermediate practitioners fine-tune or fortify their Scrum implementations. Experienced practitioners can use the patterns and supporting explanations to get a better understanding of how the parts of Scrum complement each other to solve common problems in product development. The patterns are written in the well-known Alexandrian form, whose roots in architecture and design have enjoyed broad application in the software world. The form organizes each pattern so you can navigate directly to organizational design tradeoffs or jump to the solution or rationale that makes the solution work. The patterns flow together naturally through the context sections at their beginning and end. Learn everything you need to know to master and implement Scrum one step at a time—the agile way.

Download or read book Design Patterns in Ruby Adobe Reader written by Russ Olsen and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2007-12-10 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Design Patterns in Ruby "Design Patterns in Ruby documents smart ways to resolve many problems that Ruby developers commonly encounter. Russ Olsen has done a great job of selecting classic patterns and augmenting these with newer patterns that have special relevance for Ruby. He clearly explains each idea, making a wealth of experience available to Ruby developers for their own daily work." —Steve Metsker, Managing Consultant with Dominion Digital, Inc. "This book provides a great demonstration of the key 'Gang of Four' design patterns without resorting to overly technical explanations. Written in a precise, yet almost informal style, this book covers enough ground that even those without prior exposure to design patterns will soon feel confident applying them using Ruby. Olsen has done a great job to make a book about a classically 'dry' subject into such an engaging and even occasionally humorous read." —Peter Cooper "This book renewed my interest in understanding patterns after a decade of good intentions. Russ picked the most useful patterns for Ruby and introduced them in a straightforward and logical manner, going beyond the GoF's patterns. This book has improved my use of Ruby, and encouraged me to blow off the dust covering the GoF book." —Mike Stok "Design Patterns in Ruby is a great way for programmers from statically typed objectoriented languages to learn how design patterns appear in a more dynamic, flexible language like Ruby." —Rob Sanheim, Ruby Ninja, Relevance Most design pattern books are based on C++ and Java. But Ruby is different—and the language's unique qualities make design patterns easier to implement and use. In this book, Russ Olsen demonstrates how to combine Ruby's power and elegance with patterns, and write more sophisticated, effective software with far fewer lines of code. After reviewing the history, concepts, and goals of design patterns, Olsen offers a quick tour of the Ruby language—enough to allow any experienced software developer to immediately utilize patterns with Ruby. The book especially calls attention to Ruby features that simplify the use of patterns, including dynamic typing, code closures, and "mixins" for easier code reuse. Fourteen of the classic "Gang of Four" patterns are considered from the Ruby point of view, explaining what problems each pattern solves, discussing whether traditional implementations make sense in the Ruby environment, and introducing Ruby-specific improvements. You'll discover opportunities to implement patterns in just one or two lines of code, instead of the endlessly repeated boilerplate that conventional languages often require. Design Patterns in Ruby also identifies innovative new patterns that have emerged from the Ruby community. These include ways to create custom objects with metaprogramming, as well as the ambitious Rails-based "Convention Over Configuration" pattern, designed to help integrate entire applications and frameworks. Engaging, practical, and accessible, Design Patterns in Ruby will help you build better software while making your Ruby programming experience more rewarding.

Download or read book Security Engineering with Patterns written by Markus Schumacher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-09-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For quite some time, in systems and software design, security only came as a second thought or even as a nice-to-have add-on. However, since the breakthrough of the Internet as a virtual backbone for electronic commerce and similar applications, security is now recognized as a fundamental requirement. This book presents a systematic security improvement approach based on the pattern paradigm. The author first clarifies the key concepts of security patterns, defines their semantics and syntax, demonstrates how they can be used, and then compares his model with other security approaches. Based on the author's model and best practice in security patterns, security novices are now in a position to understand how security experts solve problems and can basically act like them by using the patterns available as building blocks for their designs.
