A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine Reissue of the 1961 second edition written by Norbert Wiener and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic and influential work that laid the theoretical foundations for information theory and a timely text for contemporary informations theorists and practitioners. With the influential book Cybernetics, first published in 1948, Norbert Wiener laid the theoretical foundations for the multidisciplinary field of cybernetics, the study of controlling the flow of information in systems with feedback loops, be they biological, mechanical, cognitive, or social. At the core of Wiener's theory is the message (information), sent and responded to (feedback); the functionality of a machine, organism, or society depends on the quality of messages. Information corrupted by noise prevents homeostasis, or equilibrium. And yet Cybernetics is as philosophical as it is technical, with the first chapter devoted to Newtonian and Bergsonian time and the philosophical mixed with the technical throughout. This book brings the 1961 second edition back into print, with new forewords by Doug Hill and Sanjoy Mitter. Contemporary readers of Cybernetics will marvel at Wiener's prescience—his warnings against “noise,” his disdain for “hucksters” and “gadget worshipers,” and his view of the mass media as the single greatest anti-homeostatic force in society. This edition of Cybernetics gives a new generation access to a classic text.

Download or read book Calidad de Sistemas de Informaci n 3 edici n ampliada y actualizada written by Mario G. Piattini Velthuis and published by Grupo Editorial RA-MA. This book was released on with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La calidad de los sistemas de información se ha convertido en uno de los principales objetivos estratégicos de las organizaciones, cuyos procesos más importantes -y, por lo tanto, su propia supervivencia- dependen de la calidad de los productos y servicios informáticos. La industria del software tiene más de sesenta años y en este período ha realizado grandes avances, ya que disponemos de lenguajes de programación más sofisticados y de procesos de desarrollo más maduros, y las aplicaciones que se construyen en la actualidad son más complejas. Sin embargo, la satisfacción de los usuarios con los sistemas de información es muy desigual, sobre todo si la comparamos con otros tipos de sistemas desarrollados por ingenierías más tradicionales. En efecto, la mala calidad de los sistemas informáticos no sólo ha costado mucho dinero a los organismos públicos y a las empresas, sino que también es la responsable de varios desastres que se han cobrado vidas humanas. En la evolución experimentada por la calidad de los sistemas informáticos, se ha pasado de un tratamiento centrado fundamentalmente en la inspección y detección de errores en los programas a una aproximación más sistémica. En los últimos años, se han publicado diversos estudios, marcos y estándares en los que se exponen los principios y las métricas que se deben seguir para la mejora de la calidad de los diferentes componentes de los sistemas informáticos: procesos, proyectos, productos, servicios, personas, etc. Esta obra trata todos estos aspectos, ofreciendo una visión amplia sobre diferentes factores que se deben tener en consideración para la construcción de software de calidad. A lo largo de esta obra, se ha combinado el rigor científico con la experiencia práctica, proporcionando una panorámica actual y completa sobre la problemática asociada a la calidad de los sistemas informáticos.
