Blender 3D Architecture, Buildings, and Scenery

Allan Brito, "Blender 3D Architecture, Buildings, and Scenery"
Packt Publishing | ISBN 1847193676 | June 6, 2008 | 332 Pages | PDF | 10.8MB

“ This book will show you how to create realistic architectural models in Blender. Blender is an open-source 3D animation program released as free software. It can be used for modeling, texturing, skinning, animating, and so on. It runs on all the important operating systems (including Windows, Mac, and Linux).

You can create natural scenery, landscapes, plants, various weather conditions, environmental factors, building materials such as wood, metal, brick, and more. You will also learn how to add people to different scenes as well as other objects to an already existing photograph or a video making it easier to increase its realism.

You will see how to use the final models to create simpler scenes for use in 3D games, where real-time rendering is necessary. You will also see how to use them to create the sets for animated movies.

Changing Software Development: Learning to Become Agile

Allan Kelly, "Changing Software Development: Learning to Become Agile"
Wiley | ISBN: 047051504X | January 2008 | 258 pages | PDF | 1.8MB

Changing Software Development explains why software development is an exercise in change management and organizational intelligence. An underlying belief is that change is learning and learning creates knowledge. By blending the theory of knowledge management, developers and managers will gain the tools to enhance learning and change to accommodate new innovative approaches such as agile and lean computing.

Symbolic Data Analysis and the SODAS Software

Edwin Diday, Monique Noirhomme-Fraiture, "Symbolic Data Analysis and the SODAS Software"

Wiley | ISBN: 0470018836 | March 2008 | 476 pages | PDF | 5MB

Symbolic data analysis is a relatively new field that provides a range of methods for analyzing complex datasets. Standard statistical methods do not have the power or flexibility to make sense of very large datasets, and symbolic data analysis techniques have been developed in order to extract knowledge from such data. Symbolic data methods differ from that of data mining, for example, because rather than identifying points of interest in the data, symbolic data methods allow the user to build models of the data and make predictions about future events.
This book is the result of the work f a pan-European project team led by Edwin Diday following 3 years work sponsored by EUROSTAT. It includes a full explanation of the new SODAS software developed as a result of this project. The software and methods described highlight the crossover between statistics and computer science, with a particular emphasis on data mining.

The Open Mobile Alliance: Delivering Service Enablers for Next-Generation Applications

Michael Brenner, Musa Unmehopa, "The Open Mobile Alliance: Delivering Service Enablers for Next-Generation Applications"
Wiley | ISBN: 0470519185 | April 2008 | 530 pages | PDF | 3MB

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) is an industry forum, which develops open specifications to help in the creation of applications and services to be deployed over converged networks. The alliance is the leading industry forum for generating market-driven specifications for interoperable mobile service enablers that facilitate global user adoptions of mobile multimedia services. Members include traditional wireless industry segments, such as mobile operators mobile operators (e.g. AT&T, China Mobile, Orange, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Telefonica, Vodafone), equipment and mobile systems manufacturers (e.g. Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, Sony-Ericsson), and Information Technology vendors (e.g. BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle Corporation, Sun Microsystems and NEC). Since its formation in 2002, the OMA has made significant progress in areas such as push-to-talk over cellular, device management, presence and group management, and messaging.

TestGoal: Result-Driven Testing

Derk-Jan de Grood, "TestGoal: Result-Driven Testing"
Springer | ISBN-10: 354078828X | July 7, 2008 | 397 pages | PDF | 3MB

Software testing is traditionally seen as a difficult and time consuming activity that is hard to embed in the software development process. This book provides a different view. It explains to stakeholders how testing can add value to software development and doing business, and provides the tester with practical information.

TestGoal is not just another methodology. Several good testing methodologies exist. But, like any other profession, also testing encompasses more than the simple application of a methodology. After all, strict adherence to a specific methodology is no guarantee for success. Success stems from the mindset, enthusiasm, knowledge and skill of the tester. These factors determine whether a methodology is applied successfully and whether testing takes on a result-driven character. And that’s what TestGoal is about: a result-driven attitude, testing principles and expertise as fundament, and a hands-on six step plan to enable result driven testing.

Using Aspect-Oriented Programming for Trustworthy Software Development

Vladimir O. Safonov, "Using Aspect-Oriented Programming for Trustworthy Software Development"
Wiley-Interscience | ISBN-10: 0470138173 | May 19, 2008 | 338 pages | PDF | 1.3MB

Learn how to successfully implement trustworthy computing tasks using aspect-oriented programming.
This landmark publication fills a gap in the literature by not only describing the basic concepts of trustworthy computing (TWC) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP), but also exploring their critical interrelationships. The author clearly demonstrates how typical TWC tasks such as security checks, in-and-out conditions, and multi-threaded safety can be implemented using AOP.
