Manage Software Testing

Auerbach Publications, 2008

…a comprehensive, practical cookbook of software testing with a slight mix of quality spices. …the book is a step-by-step guide of how to perform testing. It is practically focused and, in many of the chapters, the reader can follow the tasks (as if they were recipes) when performing testing activities.
-Software Testing,...

Real Analysis and Probability (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2002

This classic textbook, now reissued, offers a clear exposition of modern probability theory and of the interplay between the properties of metric spaces and probability measures. The new edition has been made even more self-contained than before; it now includes a foundation of the real number system and the Stone-Weierstrass theorem on...

Visual Perception for Humanoid Robots: Environmental Recognition and Localization, from Sensor Signals to Reliable 6D Poses (Cognitive Systems Monographs (38))

Springer, 2018

This book provides an overview of model-based environmental visual perception for humanoid robots. The visual perception of a humanoid robot creates a bidirectional bridge connecting sensor signals with internal representations of environmental objects. The objective of such perception systems is to answer two fundamental...

Robust Range Image Registration Using Genetic Algorithms And The Surface Interpenetration Measure

World Scientific Publishing, 2004

This book addresses the range image registration problem for automatic 3D model construction. The focus is on obtaining highly precise alignments between different view pairs of the same object to avoid 3D model distortions; in contrast to most prior work, the view pairs may exhibit relatively little overlap and need not be prealigned. To this end,...

The Structure of Complex Networks: Theory and Applications

Oxford University Press, 2011

This book deals with the analysis of the structure of complex networks by combining results from graph theory, physics, and pattern recognition. The book is divided into two parts. 11 chapters are dedicated to the development of theoretical tools for the structural analysis of networks, and 7 chapters are illustrating, in a critical way,...

Joe Celko's Data, Measurements and Standards in SQL (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

As I sit here typing this introduction, I am looking at a copy of The North American Arithmetic, Part Third, for Advanced Scholars, by Frederick Emerson. It was written in 1834.

It has chapters on the money, weights, and measures in use in Europe and America at that time. The English still had pence, shillings, and farthings.

Computational Line Geometry (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2010

The geometry of lines occurs naturally in such different areas as sculptured surface machining, computation of offsets and medial axes, surface reconstruction for reverse engineering, geometrical optics, kinematics and motion design, and modeling of developable surfaces. This book covers line geometry from various viewpoints and aims towards...

Loop-shaping Robust Control (Automation-Control and Industrial Engineering Series)

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

The loop-shaping approach consists of obtaining a specification in relation to the open loop of the control from specifications regarding various closed loop transfers, because it is easier to work on a single transfer (in addition to the open loop) than on a multitude of transfers (various loopings such as set point/error, disturbance/error,...

Chemical Graph Theory: Introduction and Fundamentals (Mathematical Chemistry, Vol 1)

Taylor & Francis, 1991

This volume presents the fundamentals of graph theory and then goes on to discuss specific chemical applications. Chapter 1 provides a historical setting for the current upsurge of interest in chemical graph theory. chapter 2 gives a full background of the basic ideas and mathematical formalism of graph theory and includes such chemically...

Houches Lectures: 1972, Black Holes (Les Houches Lectures : 1972 Lectures)

Routledge, 1973

The story of the phenomenal transformation of general relativity within little more than a decade, from a quiet backwater of research, harboring a handful of theorists, to a booming outpost attracting increasing numbers of highly talented young people as well as heavy investment in experiments, is by now familiar. The amazing thing about this...

Unbounded Linear Operators: Theory and Applications (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Dover Publications, 2006

In recent years important progress has been made in the study of linear operators by extending to closed operators many fundamental theorems which were known for bounded operators. The applications of the theory permit unification of a series of diverse questions in differential equations, which leads to significant results with substantial...

Mathematics of Shapes and Applications (Lecture Notes, Institute for Masthematical Sciences, National University of Singapore)

World Scientific Publishing, 2019

Understanding how a single shape can incur a complex range of transformations, while defining the same perceptually obvious figure, entails a rich and challenging collection of problems, at the interface between applied mathematics, statistics and computer science. The program on Mathematics of Shapes and Applications, was held at the Institute...
