Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob Curzo Crawley believes he is a less than interesting construction worker living in the heartland. He thought he was destined for greater things after he saved the life of a classmate in high school, but the opportunities did not present themselves as he had hoped. On a typical ride to work one morning he is confronted by a stranger who appears out of thin air next to him in his little red pickup truck, nearly costing them their lives. Much to Jacob's disbelief the man claims to be his guardian angel, Maddox. But Jacob is not the only human to learn that they have been followed for their entire lives by a guardian. Rather, the entire world now faces the fact that there is a God, a Devil and servants of both struggling to control the Earth. Jacob, his friend Pete, a former flame Quinn and a cocky tag-along named Luke are accompanied by their angels and enjoy a time of peace and enlightenment that is interrupted 7 days after ""A-Day"" by forces that are eager to take over the world once and for all.
Download or read book Towards Verified Systems written by J. Bowen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the complexity of embedded computer-controlled systems increases, the present industrial practice for their development gives cause for concern, especially for safety-critical applications where human lives are at stake. The use of software in such systems has increased enormously in the last decade. Formal methods, based on firm mathematical foundations, provide one means to help with reducing the risk of introducing errors during specification and development. There is currently much interest in both academic and industrial circles concerning the issues involved, but the techniques still need further investigation and promulgation to make their widespread use a reality. This book presents results of research into techniques to aid the formal verification of mixed hardware/software systems. Aspects of system specification and verification from requirements down to the underlying hardware are addressed, with particular regard to real-time issues. The work presented is largely based around the Occam programming language and Transputer microprocessor paradigm. The HOL theorem prover, based on higher order logic, has mainly been used in the application of machine-checked proofs. The book describes research work undertaken on the collaborative UK DTI/SERC-funded Information Engineering Dictorate Safemos project. The partners were Inmos Ltd., Cambridge SRI, the Oxford University Computing Laboratory and the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, who investigated the problems of formally verifying embedded systems. The most important results of the project are presented in the form of a series of interrelated chapters by project members and associated personnel. In addition, overviews of two other ventures with similar objectives are included as appendices. The material in this book is intended for computing science researchers and advanced industrial practitioners interested in the application of formal methods to real-time safety-critical systems at all levels of abstraction from requirements to hardware. In addition, material of a more general nature is presented, which may be of interest to managers in charge of projects applying formal methods, especially for safety-critical-systems, and others who are considering their use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With software maintenance costs averaging 50% of total computing costs, it is necessary to have an effective maintenance program in place. Aging legacy systems, for example, pose an especially rough challenge as veteran programmers retire and their successors are left to figure out how the systems operate. This book explores program analyzers, reve
Download or read book Verified Software Theories Tools Experiments written by Bertrand Meyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-06-29 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Step Towards Verified Software Worries about the reliability of software are as old as software itself; techniques for allaying these worries predate even James King’s 1969 thesis on “A program verifier. ” What gives the whole topic a new urgency is the conjunction of three phenomena: the blitz-like spread of software-rich systems to control ever more facets of our world and our lives; our growing impatience with deficiencies; and the development—proceeding more slowly, alas, than the other two trends—of techniques to ensure and verify software quality. In 2002 Tony Hoare, one of the most distinguished contributors to these advances over the past four decades, came to the conclusion that piecemeal efforts are no longer sufficient and proposed a “Grand Challenge” intended to achieve, over 15 years, the production of a verifying compiler: a tool that while processing programs would also guarantee their adherence to specified properties of correctness, robustness, safety, security and other desirable properties. As Hoare sees it, this endeavor is not a mere research project, as might normally be carried out by one team or a small consortium of teams, but a momentous endeavor, comparable in its scope to the successful mission to send a man to the moon or to the sequencing of the human genome.

Owhens and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abuse spectrum is a solid sphere, from minuscule to beyond the outer limits of known physics. Abuse not only of people, but of things and places. This book covers all of that, while incorporating many chapters beyond that topic. The hope is a pushback of mischiefs, a healing, a curative force which goes viral, rather than the virility of evil and abuse growing to encompass more and more of the world. A book that has been carefully designed & crafted to challenge any reader, a challenge for tolerance and a challenge towards motivation to fix and properly govern oneself in a new and novel way, as the universe falls m into the last day Bible style. Prepare to be shocked, horrified, and cringed like never before. Enter the arena of these pages; a contest is afoot and lively if one does.

Download or read book Making Claims written by D. Scott McCrickard and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-centered informatics (HCI) is a young discipline that is still defining its core components, with approaches rooted in engineering, science, and creative design. In the spirit of this book series, this book explores HCI as an intersection point for different perspectives of computing and information technology, seeking to understand how groups of designers can communicate with an increasingly diverse set of colleagues on a broadening set of problems. In so doing, this book traces the evolution of claims as a way to capture and share knowledge, particularly in comparison to other approaches like patterns and issues. Claims can be a centrally important aspect in HCI design efforts, either consciously by targeted design techniques or through ingrained habits of experienced designers. An examination of claims, their uses in design, and the possibilities for explicit use in future collaborative design endeavors seeks to inspire their further development use in HCI design.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this workshop originated when I came across and read Martin Zelkowitz's book on Requirements for Software Engineering Environments (the proceedings of a small workshop held at the University of Maryland in 1986). Although stimulated by the book I was also disappointed in that it didn't adequately address two important questions - "Whose requirements are these?" and "Will the environment which meets all these requirements be usable by software engineers?". And thus was the decision made to organise this workshop which would explicitly address these two questions. As time went by setting things up, it became clear that our workshop would happen more than five years after the Maryland workshop and thus, at the same time as addressing the two questions above, this workshop would attempt to update the Zelkowitz approach. Hence the workshop acquired two halves, one dominated by discussion of what we already know about usability problems in software engineering and the other by discussion of existing solutions (technical and otherwise) to these problems. This scheme also provided a good format for bringing together those in the HeI community concerned with the human factors of software engineering and those building tools to solve acknowledged, but rarely understood problems.
