A System-Theoretic Safety Engineering Approach for Software-Intensive Systems
In the software development process, formal verification and functional testing are complementary approaches which are used to verify the functional correctness of software; however, even perfectly reliable software could lead to an accident. The correctness of software cannot ensure the safe operation of safety-critical software systems. Therefore, developing safety-critical software requires a more systematic software and safety engineering process that enables the software and safety engineers to recognize the potential software risks. For this purpose, this dissertation introduces a comprehensive safety engineering approach based on STPA for Software-Intensive Systems, called STPA SwISs, which provides seamless STPA safety analysis and software safety verification activities to allow the software and safety engineers to work together during the software development for safety-critical systems and help them to recognize the associated software risks at the system level.

Modeling techniques in programming and algorithms
The methodology that we follow allows us, given a well-defined problem, to find a solution that can be taken to the computer. The first three steps (Modeling, specification and solution plan) allow us to find the solution to the given problem. Now we must "pass" that solution to the computer. The primary objective of this chapter is to introduce the student to the interesting world of computer programs. The concepts related to basic computer programming will be presented here, using Language C as a programming language. The advantages of this language will be shown, as well as the first instructions that will allow us to create simple programs in Language C.

Swarm Intelligence for Iris Recognition
Iris recognition is one of the highest accuracy techniques used in biometric systems. The accuracy of the iris recognition system is measured by False Reject Rate (FRR), which measures the authenticity of a user who is incorrectly rejected by the system due to changes in iris features (such as aging and health condition) and external factors that affect iris image, for instance, high noise rate. External factors such as technical fault, occlusion, and source of lighting that causes the image acquisition to produce distorted iris images create error, hence are incorrectly rejected by the biometric system. FRR can be reduced using wavelets and Gabor filters, cascaded classifiers, ordinal measures, multiple biometric modalities, and a selection of unique iris features. Nonetheless, in the long duration of the matching process, existing methods were unable to identify the authenticity of the user since the iris structure itself produces a template changed due to aging. In fact, the iris consists of unique features such as crypts, furrows, collarette, pigment blotches, freckles, and pupils that are distinguishable among humans. Earlier research was done by selecting unique iris features. However, these had low accuracy levels. A new way of identifying and matching the iris template using the nature-inspired algorithm is described in this book. It provides an overview of iris recognition that is based on nature-inspired environment technology. The book is useful for students from universities, polytechnics, community colleges; practitioners; and industry practitioners.

Learning to Code - An Invitation to Computer Science Through the Art and Patterns of Nature (Snap! Edition)
This is a book about discovery-the discoveries each of us can make when finding beauty in geometric patterns, beauty in mathematics, and beauty in computer programming. This is also a guide for teaching children to program computers in uniquely powerful ways.It is easy to see how one might find beauty in geometric patterns; this beauty forms the foundation of nature and art. We are continually entranced by geometric form-the symmetry of a butterfly's wings, the spiral of a snail's shell, the facets of a crystal-and each of these natural occurrences is perceived as having beauty associated with it. The hands of people have produced geometric art since marks were first made on cave walls or stones were first fashioned into tools. From the Pyramids and the Parthenon to the finest gold-link chain, the beauty of geometric form is clearly present for all who care to find it.Underlying the geometric pattern that we experience with our eyes lies a more subtle pattern of mathematical beauty, which is experienced intellectually-a collection of unifying principles that govern the arrangement and shapes of objects, both natural and crafted. Computer programming offers a bridge between the worlds of nature, design, and intellect.The computer today can be a tool for discovery and creative expression. It can be as malleable as a piece of clay and as powerful as the very ideas it helps to express. You do not have to be good at math or accept the passive ways computers are often used in classrooms. Thornburg's approach is eye-opening.The programming language used in this book is Snap! Snap! is a free block-based programming language designed at UC Berkeley that can be used on any device with a web browser. It looks a lot like Scratch, but adds a great deal of functionality and was designed to teach computer science concepts like those found in the NSF-funded Beauty and Joy of Computing Course. These added capabilities make it suitable for a serious introduction to computer science for high school or college students. Like Scratch, Snap! is in the Logo family of programming languages. The Logo programming language was designed for learning and its various dialects have been used by millions of learners for more than half a century. With Logo, students experience powerful ideas, solve problems, and create while engaging in conversation with the computer. Although coding is often thought of in vocational terms, Logo programming lies squarely in the grand traditions of the liberal arts and progressive education.The book includes step by step examples and code exploring tiles, tessellations, prime numbers, geometric shapes from circles to squirals, the mysteries of The Golden Mean, fractals, and recursion.

Practical Continuous Testing
The trend of software development is moving towards frequent releases backed up by automated functional testing.Continuous Testing (CT), a key process of DevOps, executes automated end-to-end (UI) as regression testing, frequently on new builds. If all tests pass, the software is ready for a production release. there are test failures, the team must act quickly on the feedback. This book presents a practical approach to implementing real Continuous Testing. Topics include: Why do traditional CI servers, e.g. Jenkins, always fail to manage UI test executions? Set up a BuildWise (free, open-source) CT server to run Selenium tests in minutesSequential Build, run selected tests on the CT server machine Custom test executions with Rake ParallelBuild, distribute tests to build agents to run them in parallel CT best practices, such as Dynamic Ordering, Auto-Retry, Manual-Retry, ..., etc. Advice on setting up a parallel testing lab
Modularizing Legacy Projects Using TDD
Improve current or new projects with top notch testability and maintainability. Writing tests improves the design of your apps, as it pushes you to have a more modularized design. This in turn improves the maintainability and sustainability of your apps. This book is for iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but want to learn all the testing pro features in iOS.You'll start by reviewing the TDD Cycle and how to implement these concepts on a legacy project or a new one. You'll then walk through TDD step-by-step on a blank project, including setting up test targets, assertions, and expectations. You'll follow that with all levels of testing such as unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests, and also tackle fairly complex, yet badly written legacy code. The book will take you through the journey of modularizing a legacy app using TDD. Throughout this journey, you will be introduced to multiple testingconcepts and techniques, like writing tests for network and core data layers. You will write tests to ensure the thread safety of your app. And you'll add a new feature while you are in the middle of refactoring, which is an important skill so you can keep adding features while you are fixing your technical debt. By the end of this book, you will have all the tools needed to become a testing master. What You'll LearnUse mocking and dependency injection to make components more testable Write tests for asynchronous code like network code Add new features to existing legacy apps using TDDWho This Book Is ForExperienced iOS developers who care about software quality and meeting customer expectations.
Business Analysis, Requirements, and Project Management
IT projects emerge from a business need. In practice, software developers must accomplish two big things before an IT project can begin: find out what you need to do (i.e., analyse business requirements) and plan out how to do it (i.e., project management). The biggest problem in IT projects is delivering the wrong product because IT people do not understand what business people require. This practical textbook teaches computer science students how to manage and deliver IT projects by linking business and IT requirements with project management in an incremental and straightforward approach.Business Analysis, Requirements, and Project Management: A Guide for Computing Students presents an approach to analysis management that scales the business perspective. It takes a business process view of a business proposal as a model and explains how to structure a technical problem into a recognisable pattern with problem frames. It shows how to identify core transactions and model them as use cases to create a requirements table useful to designers and coders. Linked to the analysis are three management tools: the product breakdown structure (PBS), the Gantt chart, and the Kanban board. The PBS is derived in part from the problem frame. The Gantt chart emerges from the PBS and ensures the key requirements are addressed by reference to use cases. The Kanban board is especially useful in Task Driven Development, which the text covers. This textbook consists of two interleaving parts and features a single case study. Part one addresses the business and requirements perspective. The second integrates core project management approaches and explains how both requirements and management are connected. The remainder of the book is appendices, the first of which provides solutions to the exercises presented in each chapter. The second appendix puts together much of the documentation for the case study into one place. The case study presents a real-word business scenario to expose students to professional practice.

Sublinear Computation Paradigm
This open access book gives an overview of cutting-edge work on a new paradigm called the "sublinear computation paradigm," which was proposed in the large multiyear academic research project "Foundations of Innovative Algorithms for Big Data." That project ran from October 2014 to March 2020, in Japan. To handle the unprecedented explosion of big data sets in research, industry, and other areas of society, there is an urgent need to develop novel methods and approaches for big data analysis. To meet this need, innovative changes in algorithm theory for big data are being pursued. For example, polynomial-time algorithms have thus far been regarded as "fast," but if a quadratic-time algorithm is applied to a petabyte-scale or larger big data set, problems are encountered in terms of computational resources or running time. To deal with this critical computational and algorithmic bottleneck, linear, sublinear, and constant time algorithms are required.The sublinear computation paradigm is proposed here in order to support innovation in the big data era. A foundation of innovative algorithms has been created by developing computational procedures, data structures, and modelling techniques for big data. The project is organized into three teams that focus on sublinear algorithms, sublinear data structures, and sublinear modelling. The work has provided high-level academic research results of strong computational and algorithmic interest, which are presented in this book.The book consists of five parts: Part I, which consists of a single chapter on the concept of the sublinear computation paradigm; Parts II, III, and IV review results on sublinear algorithms, sublinear data structures, and sublinear modelling, respectively; Part V presents application results. The information presented here will inspire the researchers who work in the field of modern algorithms.
