Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering
From the Foreword"Getting CPS dependability right is essential to forming a solid foundation for a world that increasingly depends on such systems. This book represents the cutting edge of what we know about rigorous ways to ensure that our CPS designs are trustworthy. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a deep look at these concepts that will form a cornerstone for future CPS designs."--Phil Koopman, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USATrustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering provides practitioners and researchers with a comprehensive introduction to the area of trustworthy Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) engineering. Topics in this book cover questions such as What does having a trustworthy CPS actually mean for something as pervasive as a global-scale CPS? How does CPS trustworthiness map onto existing knowledge, and where do we need to know more? How can we mathematically prove timeliness, correctness, and other essential properties for systems that may be adaptive and even self-healing? How can we better represent the physical reality underlying real-world numeric quantities in the computing system? How can we establish, reason about, and ensure trust between CPS components that are designed, installed, maintained, and operated by different organizations, and which may never have really been intended to work together? Featuring contributions from leading international experts, the book contains sixteen self-contained chapters that analyze the challenges in developing trustworthy CPS, and identify important issues in developing engineering methods for CPS.The book addresses various issues contributing to trustworthiness complemented by contributions on TCSP roadmapping, taxonomy, and standardization, as well as experience in deploying advanced system engineering methods in industry. Specific approaches to ensuring trustworthiness, namely, proof and refinement, are covered, as well as engineering methods for dealing with hybrid aspects.

Agile Software Development with C#, Scrum, eXtreme Programming, and Kanban Second Edition
This book, designed for beginners, will introduce you to the field of agile software development with C#. There are many books on C# and just as many, if not more, on agile, but few teach a programming language and software development methodology in conjunction. Agile blurs the lines between the roles of analyst, designer, programmer, and tester. Therefore, when you learn agile, you will learn to analyze, design, develop, and test. By combining C# and agile in one book, you will be able to experience all roles through a single journey. At the end of the book, you will be given several tiny C# projects to work on following agile philosophy. Working through these projects with four or five other readers (e.g., as in a college setting) would further benefit your understanding. This book is not a reference, so content will be kept at a minimum. This book is also not an in depth cover of any specific topic, instead designed to cater to beginners. Readers may always research the web for further details. This book requires you to type all code. We don't provide sample code downloads. Though we understand your time is valuable, we believe hands-on practice is the best way to learn. Throughout the book, you will be given plenty of exercises under the titles of Programming Challenge and Test Your Understanding. We strongly encourage you to try all exercises as you work through the book. This second edition uses Visual Studio 2019 Community as the development environment.

Julia for Machine Learning
Unleash the power of Julia for your machine learning tasks. We reveal why Julia is chosen for more and more data science and machine learning projects, including Julia's ability to run algorithms at lightning speed. Next, we show you how to set up Julia and various IDEs such as Jupyter. Afterward, we explore key Julia libraries, which are useful for data science work, including packages related to visuals, data structures, and mathematical processes.After building a foundation in Julia, we dive into machine learning, with foundational concepts reinforced by Julia use cases. The use cases build upon each other, reaching the level where we code a machine learning model from scratch using Julia. All of these use cases are available in a series of Jupyter notebooks.After covering dimensionality reduction methods, we explore additional machine learning topics, such as parallelization and data engineering. Although knowing how to use Julia is essential, it is even more important to communicate our results to the business, which we cover next, including how to work efficiently with project stakeholders. Our Julia journey then ascends to the finer points, including improving machine learning transparency, reconciling machine learning with statistics, and continuing to innovate with Julia.The final chapters cover future trends in the areas of Julia, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We explain machine learning and Bayesian Statistics hybrid systems, and Julia's Gen language. We share many resources so you can continue to sharpen your Julia and machine learning skills.Each chapter concludes with a series of questions designed to reinforce that chapter's material, with answers provided in an appendix. Other appendices include an extensive glossary, bridge packages between Julia and other programming languages, and an overview of three data science-related heuristics implemented in Julia, which aren't in any of the existing packages.
