How are you going to get up to speed in a hurry There are lots of Java books for beginners, telling you all about what a computer is and how it represents everything in bits. You don't need that. At the other extreme, there are thousand-page tomes that you aren't going to get through in a few days, if ever. You need something in-between.This book is intended to fill that gap. It's written for the programmer who doesn't need to be taught how to program, just how to do it in Java-and who needs to get started in a hurry.Java is covered from the inside out. First, all the things that go inside a class, most of which are practically identical to C++. After that, all the various and complicated kinds of classes and interfaces and how they relate to each other in large-scale programs.Testing is essential, so (unlike most Java books) JUnit is covered in detail. Then, in case you need to go in that direction, some functional programming, a little about parallel programming, and more than enough to get you started in building GUIs (graphical user interfaces) and doing animation.There's a lot in this little book and, despite my best efforts, you won't learn Java in a weekend. But it should be a good start.FEATURESCircular approach allows very fast entry into JavaFull description of JUnit testingSummary of functional programming in JavaIntroduction to synchronization and parallel processingExtensive description of building GUIs 214 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mechatronics is a mongrel, a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering, the relatively young pup of computer science, the energetic electrical engineering, the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory.All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of 'Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform' rather than answering 'What happens when your servomotor saturates ' Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise.That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out, far from it. The diet here includes matrices, transforms, eigenvectors, differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience, to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do, not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins.The theme running throughout the book is simulation, with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing, such as a bicycle following a line, and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed 'for real', with components purchased from the hobby market. 176 pp. Englisch.

Cybersecurity is not just a matter of data or computer security; cybersecurity is about the security of society.Why 'Philosophy' To understand how to reason and think about threats and cybersecurity in today's and tomorrow's world, this book is necessary to equip readers with awareness. Philosophy of Cybersecurity is about the user's perspective, but also about system issues.This is a book for everyone-a wide audience. Experts, academic lecturers, as well as students of technical fields such as computer science and social sciences will find the content interesting. This includes areas like international relations, diplomacy, strategy, and security studies. Cybersecurity is also a matter of state strategy and policy.The clarity and selection of broad material presented here may make this book the first book on cybersecurity you'll understand.It considers such detailed basics as, for example, what a good password is and, more importantly, why it is considered so today. But the book is also about systemic issues, such as healthcare cybersecurity (challenges, why is it so difficult to secure, could people die as a result of cyberattacks ), critical infrastructure (can a cyberattack destroy elements of a power system ), and States (have they already been hacked ).Cyberspace is not a 'grey zone' without rules. This book logically explains what cyberwar is, whether it threatens us, and under what circumstances cyberattacks could lead to war. The chapter on cyberwar is relevant because of the war in Ukraine. The problem of cyberwar in the war in Ukraine is analytically and expertly explained. The rank and importance of these activities are explained, also against the background of broader military activities.The approach we propose treats cybersecurity very broadly. This book discusses technology, but also ranges to international law, diplomacy, military, and security matters, as they pertain to conflicts, geopolitics, political science, and international relations. 226 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The PID controller is the most common option in the realm of control applications and is dominant in the process control industry. Among the related analytical methods, Internal Model Control (IMC) has gained remarkable industrial acceptance due to its robust nature and good set-point responses. However, the traditional application of IMC results in poor load disturbance rejection for lag-dominant and integrating plants. This book presents an IMC-like design method which avoids this common pitfall and is devised to work well for plants of modest complexity, for which analytical PID tuning is plausible. For simplicity, the design only focuses on the closed-loop sensitivity function, including formulations for the H and H2 norms. Aimed at graduate students and researchers in control engineering, this book:Considers both the robustness/performance and the servo/regulation trade-offsPresents a systematic, optimization-based approach, ultimately leading to well-motivated, model-based, and analytically derived tuning rulesShows how to tune PID controllers in a unified way, encompassing stable, integrating, and unstable processesFinds in the Weighted Sensitivity Problem the sweet spot of robust, optimal, and PID controlProvides a common analytical framework that generalizes existing tuning proposals 154 pp. Englisch.
