Par Douglas Comer. 2021
This latest textbook from bestselling author, Douglas E. Comer, is a class-tested book providing a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing.…
Focusing on concepts and principles, rather than commercial offerings by cloud providers and vendors, The Cloud Computing Book: The Future of Computing Explained gives readers a complete picture of the advantages and growth of cloud computing, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, automation and orchestration, and cloud-native software design.The book explains real and virtual data center facilities, including computation (e.g., servers, hypervisors, Virtual Machines, and containers), networks (e.g., leaf-spine architecture, VLANs, and VxLAN), and storage mechanisms (e.g., SAN, NAS, and object storage). Chapters on automation and orchestration cover the conceptual organization of systems that automate software deployment and scaling. Chapters on cloud-native software cover parallelism, microservices, MapReduce, controller-based designs, and serverless computing. Although it focuses on concepts and principles, the book uses popular technologies in examples, including Docker containers and Kubernetes. Final chapters explain security in a cloud environment and the use of models to help control the complexity involved in designing software for the cloud.The text is suitable for a one-semester course for software engineers who want to understand cloud, and for IT managers moving an organization’s computing to the cloud.Data Science for Wind Energy

von komplexen Computerspielen bis hin zu Geschäftsanwendungen. In den vergangenen Jahren wurden unterschiedliche Entwicklungsparadigmen bereitgestellt, die hinsichtlich verschiedener Aspekte wie zum Beispiel Plattformunabhängigkeit, Performanz, Kosten sowie dem Zugriff auf gerätespezifische, native Funktionen sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteile besitzen. Die Kapitel gehen didaktisch in die Breite und stellen die Entwicklungsparadigmen vor dem Hintergrund einer zentralen Fallstudie gegenüber. Es werden Techniken zur Entwicklung von mobilen Webanwendungen, hybriden Anwendungen, nativen Anwendungen für Android sowie Cross-Plattform-Anwendungen vorgestellt, ohne innerhalb eines Paradigmas zu sehr in die Tiefe zu gehen. Eine Ausnahme bildet das von Google bereitgestellte Flutter-Framework, das sowohl die Entwicklung auf Android- als auch iOS-Geräten unterstützt.Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studentinnen und Studenten, die bereits mit einer objektorientierten Programmiersprache vertraut sind und wesentliche Aspekte der Programmierung kennen und einen Einblick in das Mobile Computing erlangen möchten.Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering: 13th International Conference, SPACE 2023, Roorkee, India, December 14–17, 2023, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #14412)

to capitalize on it.&“Eric Siegel delivers a robust primer on machine learning, the key mechanism in AI. A forward-looking, practical book and a must-read for anyone in the information economy.&” —Scott Galloway, NYU Stern Professor of Marketing; bestselling author of The Four &“An antidote to today&’s relentless AI hype—why some AI initiatives thrive while others fail and what it takes for companies and people to succeed.&”—Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster BetterThe greatest tool is the hardest to use. Machine learning is the world&’s most important general-purpose technology—but it&’s notoriously difficult to launch. Outside Big Tech and a handful of other leading companies, machine learning initiatives routinely fail to deploy, never realizing value. What&’s missing? A specialized business practice suitable for wide adoption. In The AI Playbook, bestselling author Eric Siegel presents the gold-standard, six-step practice for ushering machine learning projects from conception to deployment. He illustrates the practice with stories of success and of failure, including revealing case studies from UPS, FICO, and prominent dot-coms. This disciplined approach serves both sides: It empowers business professionals, and it establishes a sorely needed strategic framework for data professionals. Beyond detailing the practice, this book also upskills business professionals—painlessly. It delivers a vital yet friendly dose of semi-technical background knowledge that all stakeholders need to lead or participate in machine learning projects, end to end. This puts business and data professionals on the same page so that they can collaborate deeply, jointly establishing precisely what machine learning is called upon to predict, how well it predicts, and how its predictions are acted upon to improve operations. These essentials make or break each initiative—getting them right paves the way for machine learning&’s value-driven deployment.What kind of AI does this book cover? The buzzword AI can mean many things, but this book is about machine learning, which is a central basis for—and what many mean by—AI. To be specific, this book covers the most vital use cases of machine learning, those designed to improve a wide range of business operations.
