Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Featuring contributions from leading experts in software engineering, this edited book provides a comprehensive introduction to computer game software development. It is a complex, interdisciplinary field that relies on contributions from a wide variety of disciplines including arts and humanities, behavioural sciences, business, engineering, physical sciences, mathematics, etc. The book focuses on the emerging research at the intersection of game and software engineering communities. A brief history of game development is presented, which considers the shift from the development of rare games in isolated research environments in the 1950s to their ubiquitous presence in popular culture today. A summary is provided of the latest peer-reviewed research results in computer game development that have been reported at multiple levels of maturity (workshops, conferences, and journals). The core chapters of the book are devoted to sharing emerging research at the intersection of game development and software engineering. In addition, future research opportunities on new software engineering methods for games and serious educational games for software engineering education are highlighted. As an ideal reference for software engineers, developers, educators, and researchers, this book explores game development topics from software engineering and education perspectives.Key Features:Includes contributions from leading academic experts in the communityPresents a current collection of emerging research at the intersection of games and software engineeringConsiders the interdisciplinary field from two broad perspectives: software engineering methods for game development and serious games for software engineering educationProvides a snapshot of the recent literature (i.e., 2015-2020) on game development from software engineering perspectives 314 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Big Data Systems encompass massive challenges related to data diversity, storage mechanisms, and requirements of massive computational power. Further, capabilities of big data systems also vary with respect to type of problems. For instance, distributed memory systems are not recommended for iterative algorithms. Similarly, variations in big data systems also exist related to consistency and fault tolerance. The purpose of this book is to provide a detailed explanation of big data systems. The book covers various topics including Networking, Security, Privacy, Storage, Computation, Cloud Computing, NoSQL and NewSQL systems, High Performance Computing, and Deep Learning. An illustrative and practical approach has been adopted in which theoretical topics have been aided by well-explained programming and illustrative examples.Key Features:Introduces concepts and evolution of Big Data technology.Illustrates examples for thorough understanding.Contains programming examples for hands on development.Explains a variety of topics including NoSQL Systems, NewSQL systems, Security, Privacy, Networking, Cloud, High Performance Computing, and Deep Learning.Exemplifies widely used big data technologies such as Hadoop and Spark.Includes discussion on case studies and open issues.Provides end of chapter questions for enhanced learning. 342 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Risk Measures and Insurance Solvency Benchmarks: Fixed-Probability Levels in Renewal Risk Models is written for academics and practitioners who are concerned about potential weaknesses of the Solvency II regulatory system. It is also intended for readers who are interested in pure and applied probability, have a taste for classical and asymptotic analysis, and are motivated to delve into rather intensive calculations. The formal prerequisite for this book is a good background in analysis. The desired prerequisite is some degree of probability training, but someone with knowledge of the classical real-variable theory, including asymptotic methods, will also find this book interesting. For those who find the proofs too complicated, it may be reassuring that most results in this book are formulated in rather elementary terms. This book can also be used as reading material for basic courses in risk measures, insurance mathematics, and applied probability. The material of this book was partly used by the author for his courses in several universities in Moscow, Copenhagen University, and in the University of Montreal. Features Requires only minimal mathematical prerequisites in analysis and probability Suitable for researchers and postgraduate students in related fields Could be used as a supplement to courses in risk measures, insurance mathematics and applied probability. 342 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Numerical Methods for Unsteady Compressible Flow Problems is written to give both mathematicians and engineers an overview of the state of the art in the field, as well as of new developments. The focus is on methods for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, the solutions of which can exhibit shocks, boundary layers and turbulence. The idea of the text is to explain the important ideas to the reader, while giving enough detail and pointers to literature to facilitate implementation of methods and application of concepts. The book covers high order methods in space, such as Discontinuous Galerkin methods, and high order methods in time, in particular implicit ones. A large part of the text is reserved to discuss iterative methods for the arising large nonlinear and linear equation systems. Ample space is given to both state-of-the-art multigrid and preconditioned Newton-Krylov schemes. FeaturesApplications to aerospace, high-speed vehicles, heat transfer, and more besides Suitable as a textbook for graduate-level courses in CFD, or as a reference for practitioners in the field 242 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A First Course in Ergodic Theory provides readers with an introductory course in Ergodic Theory. This textbook has been developed from the authors' own notes on the subject, which they have been teaching since the 1990s. Over the years they have added topics, theorems, examples and explanations from various sources. The result is a book that is easy to teach from and easy to learn from - designed to require only minimal prerequisites.FeaturesSuitable for readers with only a basic knowledge of measure theory, some topology and a very basic knowledge of functional analysisPerfect as the primary textbook for a course in Ergodic TheoryExamples are described and are studied in detail when new properties are presented. 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This classic textbook has been used successfully by instructors and students for nearly three decades. This timely new edition offers minimal yet notable changes while retaining all the elements, presentation, and accessible exposition of previous editions. A list of updates is found in the Preface to this edition.This text is based on the author's experience in teaching graduate courses and the minimal requirements for successful graduate study. The text is understandable to the typical student enrolled in the course, taking into consideration the variations in abilities, background, and motivation. Chapters one through six have been written to be accessible to the average student,w hile at the same time challenging the more talented student through the exercises.Chapters seven through ten assume the students have achieved some level of expertise in the subject. In these chapters, the theorems, examples, and exercises require greater sophistication and mathematical maturity for full understanding.In addition to the standard topics the text includes topics that are not always included in comparable texts.Chapter 6 contains a section on the Riemann-Stieltjes integral and a proof of Lebesgue's t heorem providing necessary and sufficient conditions for Riemann integrability.Chapter 7 also includes a section on square summable sequences and a brief introduction to normed linear spaces.C hapter 8 contains a proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem using the method ofaapproximate identities.The inclusion of Fourier series in the text allows the student to gain some exposure to this important subject.The final chapter includes a detailed treatment of Lebesgue measure and the Lebesgue integral, using inner and outer measure.The exercises at the end of each section reinforce the concepts.Notes provide historical comments or discuss additional topics. 584 pp. Englisch.
