| This book gathers the latest research on the structure of computer-based systems from computer scientists, sociologists, statisticians and psychologists and combines it into a readable overview of the latest work in dependable computer-based systems.
Previous work in this area has tended to come from the viewpoint of a single discipline, focusing on computer systems to the exclusion of social and human aspects. The interdisciplinary approach taken in this book demonstrates that complex computer-based systems cannot be achieved without considering all the aspects. Stakeholders and system designers as well as the scientific community now agree that human and social issues have to be covered jointly with technical issues. This book highlights issues that stand aside of traditional technical concerns. Topics include fault tolerance, evolution, software development, HCI, architecture certification, dependability arguments, organisations diagrams, time and procedures.
System developers, stakeholders, decision makers, policymakers and academics will find this book highlights the core issues for all those involved in dependability in a complex computer-based environment. |

Beginning Android ADK with Arduino (Beginning Apress)
In May 2011, Google held its annual developer conference, the Google IO, to present its newest
technologies to approximately 5,000 attendees. In addition to improvements in its already well-known
technologies such as the Google APIs or the core search technology, Google placed the focus on two
major themes: Chrome and Android. As... | | Secure Communicating Systems: Design, Analysis, and ImplementationThis volume details what every computer scientist ought to know about cryptographic systems, security protocols, and secure information flow in programs. Highlights include discussions of the new advanced encryption standard "Rijndael"; an optimal public-key encryption using RSA which turns "textbook RSA" into a practical... | | |
| | Radiology Illustrated: Chest Radiology
Multidetector CT images of the state-of-the-art quality are increasingly produced in thoracic
imaging, and in the near future, the CT imaging is expected to substitute chest radiography
especially in outpatient clinic and may be ordered as a routine admission battery
examination.
In MEDLINE or other search engines,... | | |
