The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented....
"The authors excel in presenting all aspects of the .NET development cycle in a format accessible to the beginner, and as a primer and reference for the experienced developer. This book is not only educational and informative, but working through it is fun!" —Dr. Oliver Downs, Chief Scientist, Analytical...
The work described in this book was first presented at the Eighth Workshop
on Genetic Programming, Theory and Practice, organized by the Center for the
Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, May
20-22, 2010. The goal of this workshop series is to promote the exchange of
research results and ideas...
Introduced in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has rapidly been accepted throughout the software industry as the standard graphical language for specifying, constructing, visualizing, and documenting software-intensive systems. The UML provides anyone involved in the production, deployment, and maintenance of software with a standard...
"The need for this book—No one has published a similar compendium of MDA case studies, making a transition to new technology is not simply a technical affair, although many of us tend to overlook this point, and the authors are superb writers. These are people who have seen a lot in the industry and have a gift for articulating important...
Model-driven development has become the most important new paradigm in software development and has already demonstrated considerable impact in reducing time to market and improving product quality. However, the development of high-quality systems not only requires systematic development processes but also systematic test processes.
"This title provides real-life cases illustrating the benefits of Semantic Web technologies as applied to e-business and e-commerce scenarios." --Book News Inc. (February 2009)
The Semantic Web has been around for some years with recent advances in mature technologies and applications. Lately, its development has been...
It has been my experience as a .NET trainer and lead programmer that most people do not have trouble picking up the
syntax of the C# language. What perplexes and frustrates many people are the higher-level concepts of object-oriented
programming methodology and design. To compound the problem, most introductory programming books and...
Software Engineering Techniques Applied to Agricultural Systems presents cutting-edge software engineering techniques for designing and implementing better agricultural software systems based on the object-oriented paradigm and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The book is divided in two parts: the first part presents concepts...
System developers have used modeling languages for decades to specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common language that applies to a multitude of different systems. Essentially,...
This book is intended to be a practical guide. Our goal is to be brief. We cover only the essential information to guide software architects in defining the software architecture, providing pointers to further reading in lieu of detailed descriptions of this literature. Ideally, we can help software...
