Metrics: How to Improve Key Business Results

Apress, 2011

Metrics are a hot topic. Executive leadership, boards of directors, management, and customers are all asking for data-based decisions. As a result, many managers, professionals, and change agents are asked to develop metrics, but have no clear idea of how to produce meaningful ones. Wouldn’t it be great to have a simple explanation of...

Encyclopedia of Distances

Springer, 2009

Distance metrics and distances have become an essential tool in many areas of pure and applied Mathematics, and this encyclopedia is the first one to treat the subject in full.

The book appears just as research intensifies into metric spaces and especially, distance design for applications. These distances are particularly crucial,...

Piping Handbook

McGraw-Hill, 1999

It is with great sense of gratitude and humility I take this blessed moment to offer this Seventh Edition of Piping Handbook. The challenge presented by the success of the Sixth Edition, coupled with our objective to enhance its reference value and widen its scope, motivated us to reach out and draw upon the recognized expertise on piping...

Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems: 6th International Conference, FORMATS 2008, Saint Malo, France, September 15-17, 2008, Proceedings

Springer, 2008

This volume consists of the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Formal Modelling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2008). The main goal of this series of conferences is to bring together diverse communities of researchers that deal with the timing aspects of computing systems. Both fundamental and practical aspects of timed...

Foundations of Empirical Software Engineering: The Legacy of Victor R. Basili

Springer, 2005

Although software engineering can trace its beginnings to a NATO conference in 1968, it cannot be said to have become an empirical science until the 1970s with the advent of the work of Prof. Victor Robert Basili of the University of Maryland. In addition to the need to engineer software was the need to understand software. Much like other...

Energy Efficient Hardware-Software Co-Synthesis Using Reconfigurable Hardware

CRC Press, 2009

The integration of multi-million-gate configurable logic, pre-compiled heterogeneous hardware components, and on-chip processor subsystems offer high computation capability and exceptional design flexibility to modern reconfigurable hardware. Moshe Gavrielov, the recently appointed president and CEO of Xilinx, which is the largest...

Asymptotics for Associated Random Variables

Springer, 2012

The book concerns the notion of association in probability and statistics. Association and some other positive dependence notions were introduced in 1966 and 1967 but received little attention from the probabilistic and statistics community. The interest in these dependence notions increased in the last 15 to 20 years, and many asymptotic...

Extreme Programming Perspectives

Pearson Education, 2002

Extreme Programming (XP) has been established as a significant departure from traditional software development methods. The success of the XP 2001 and XP Universe 2001 conferences is no surprise; some of the brightest minds in software engineering gathered at these venues to discuss the discipline that is XP. These...

An Introduction to Mathematical Cosmology

Cambridge University Press, 2001

This book provides a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational and theoretical cosmology, along with a short introduction to general relativity. It then goes on to discuss Friedmann models, the Hubble constant...
