Object-Oriented Behavioral Specifications By Haim Kilov, William Harvey (auth.)
1996 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 0792397789 | PDF | 4 MB
Object-Oriented Behavioral Specifications encourages builders of complex information systems to accelerate their move to using the approach of a scientific discipline in analysis rather than the approach of a craft. The focus is on understanding customers' needs and on precise specification of understanding gained through analysis. Specifications must bridge any gaps in understanding about business rules among customers, Subject Matter Experts, and `computer people', must inform decisions about reuse of software and systems, and must enable review of semantics over time. Specifications need to describe semantics rather than syntax, and to do that in an abstract and precise manner, in order to create software systems that satisfy business rules. The papers in this book show various ways of designing elegant and clear specifications which are reusable, lead to savings of intellectual effort, time, and money, and which contribute to the reliability of software and systems. Object-Oriented Behavioral Specifications offers a fresh treatment of the object-oriented paradigm by examining the limitations of traditional OO methodologies and by describing the significance of competing trends in OO modeling. The book builds on four years of successful OOPSLA workshops (1991-1995) on behavior semantics. This book deals with precise specifications of `what' is accomplished by the business and `what' is to be done by a system. The book includes descriptions of successful use of abstract and precise specification in industry. It draws on the experience of experts from industrial and academic settings and benefits from international participation. Collective behavior, neglected in some treatment of the OO paradigm, is addressed explicitly in this book. The book does not take `reuse' of specifications or software for granted, but furnishes a foundation for taking as rigorous an approach to reuse decisions as to precise specifications in original developments.

Objektorientierte Anwendungsentwicklung mit der postrelationalen Datenbank Caché By Dr. Wolfgang Kirsten, Michael Ihringer, Mathias Kühn, Dr. Bernhard Röhrig (auth.)
2003 | 424 Pages | ISBN: 3642627870 | PDF | 7 MB
Neuentwickelte Software ist heute oft schon zum Zeitpunkt Ihrer Einführung veraltet. Einen Ausweg aus dieser Krise bietet der objektorientierte Ansatz: Anwendungen werden als Software-Objekte modelliert, die sowohl die Eigenschaften als auch das Verhalten von Objekten aus der realen Welt beschreiben. Solche Objekte sind gekapselt und verbergen die innere Komplexität hinter einer öffentlich bekannt gegebenen Schnittstelle. Dadurch können Objekte in den verschiedensten Programmpaketen verwendet werden, ohne dass die interne Realisierung bekannt sein muss.Die Verbindung objektorientiert modellierter Anwendungen mit einer Datenbank stellt besondere Anforderungen an DBMS und Entwicklungsumgebung, will man die üblichen Performance- und Semantikverluste vermeiden. Dieses Buch behandelt ausführlich das Objektmodell der postrelationalen Datenbank Caché. Zudem wird der Leser Schritt für Schritt bei der Entwicklung einer ersten postrelationalen Applikation begleitet. Die komplette Software hierzu einschließlich einer Single-User-Version von Caché 5 ist auf der beigefügten CD-ROM enthalten.Die vorliegende zweite, überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage berücksichtigt die zahlreichen Neuerungen der Caché-Version 5. Die Beschreibungen der Java- und ActiveX-Anbindung und des SQL-Managers von Caché wurden grundlegend überarbeitet und erweitert. Neu hinzugekommen sind eine ausführliche Beschreibung des neuen Caché Studio mit seinen umfassenden Verbesserungen für die Anwendungsentwicklung sowie Kapitel über die Web-Entwicklung mit den Caché Server Pages (CSP), den Datenaustausch mit XML und die Entwicklung von SOAP-basierten WebServices. Systemvoraussetzungen: Intel Pentium-CPU oder besser Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0 (SP4, 5 oder 6), 2000 (SP2) oder XP mindestens 128 MB Hauptspeicher mindestens 100 MB freier Festplatten-Speicherplatz konfigurierter TCP/IP-Stack CD-ROM-Laufwerk

Objektorientierte Software in der kommerziellen Anwendung By Peter Pagé (auth.)
1996 | 392 Pages | ISBN: 3642799272 | PDF | 8 MB
In den nächsten Jahren wird das objektorientierte Paradigma die Lösungsansätze der Datenverarbeitung bestimmen. Zum ersten Mal wird damit ein Denkansatz verfolgt, der die DV-Lösungen als Abbild der realen Welt implementiert, anstatt diese auf theoretischen und technischen Regelsätzen aufzubauen. Das vorliegende Buch will die verschiedenen Techniken der Objektorientierung klar und praxisbezogen darstellen. Neben der Beschreibung einzelner heute noch getrennt existierender Teilbereiche wird eine synoptische Betrachtung aller Aspekte der Objektorientierung gegeben. Eine integrierte objektorientierte Software-Entwicklungs- umgebung wird vorgestellt, die besonders für die Lösung kommerzieller Aufgabenstellungen geeignet ist.

Hermann Rohling, "OFDM: Concepts for Future Communication Systems"
English | 2011 | pages: 261 | ISBN: 3642174957, 3642267483 | PDF | 8,1 mb
(Preliminary): The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) digital transmission technique has several advantages in broadcast and mobile communications applications. The main objective of this book is to give a good insight into these efforts, and provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the scientific progress which was achieved in the last decade. Besides topics of the physical layer, such as coding, modulation and non-linearities, a special emphasis is put on system aspects and concepts, in particular regarding cellular networks and using multiple antenna techniques. The work extensively addresses challenges of link adaptation, adaptive resource allocation and interference mitigation in such systems. Moreover, the domain of cross-layer design, i.e. the combination of physical layer aspects and issues of higher layers, are considered in detail. These results will facilitate and stimulate further innovation and development in the design of modern communication systems, based on the powerful OFDM transmission technique.

On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century by Tony Blair
English | September 10, 2024 | ISBN: 0593799798 | 368 pages | PDF | 2.08 Mb
The leadership manual Tony Blair wishes he had when he became prime minister, with personal insights and global examples that show aspiring leaders how to go from talking about change to making change.

Sir Tony Blair learnt the precepts of governing the hard way: by leading a country for over ten years. In that time he came to understand that there were certain key characteristics of successful government that he wished he had known when he started.
Now Sir Tony has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted back in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was in office and since, through his Institute's work with political leaders and governments globally.
Written in short, pithy chapters, packed with examples drawn from all forms of political systems from around the world, the books answers the key questions: How should a leader organize the center of government and his or her own office? How should he or she prioritize and develop the right plan and hire the right personnel, cope with unforeseen events and crises, and balance short-term wins with long-term structural change? What's the best way to deal with an obstructive or inert bureaucracy, to attract investment, to reform healthcare or education, and to ensure security for the citizen? And how should governments harness the massive opportunities of the 21st-century technological revolution?
This is a masterclass on leadership in general, and political leadership in particular, from a master statesman.

Helen Nicholson, "On the Margins of Crusading: The Military Orders, the Papacy and the Christian World "
English | ISBN: 1138269832 | 2016 | 224 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Founded to support Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and most famous for their support for crusading, the Military Religious Orders' activities and interests stretched far beyond the frontiers of Christendom. Representing some of the most recent advances in research, in this volume eleven scholars from Europe and North America explore important and hitherto under-researched aspects of the Orders' history, scrutinising their relations with the papacy, their organisational structure, their devotional practices, their fortresses and their presence in the localities of Western Europe. Particular attention is given to the Templars' trial of 1307-12 and the question of how the surviving Orders reorganised themselves after the loss of the kingdom of Jerusalem in 1291. The majority of the papers consider the leading Military Orders, the Hospitallers and Templars, but there are also studies of the Orders of Mountjoy and of St Lazarus, showing how they adapted their activities to local requirements. These studies reflect the vitality of current scholarship on the Military Religious Orders.

E. Trist, "Organizational Choice "
English | ISBN: 0415825679 | 2013 | 350 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book develops and applies a new approach to the study of the working group and indeed of productive enterprises more generally. Unlike similar studies, in this volume the human is related back to the technological, and it is the socio-technical system as a whole that is the object of study. The work reported in this book shows how alternative modes of work organization can exist for the same technology, giving the possibility of organizational choice.

Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life by Brigid Schulte
English | September 17, 2024 | ISBN: 1250801729 | 432 pages | PDF | 7.32 Mb
"Brigid Schulte is a vital voice on the future of work, and her carefully researched book lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning."

―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast WorkLife
From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn't working and how our lives can be made more meaningful
Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte's groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prizewinning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America's quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans.
Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty.
She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan's Housewives Brigade―which demands legal protection for family time―and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business.
Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.

Cristina Alvarez Millan, Claudia Heide, "Pascual de Gayangos: A Nineteenth-Century Spanish Arabist"
English | 2008 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 0748635475 | PDF | 1,6 mb
Pascual de Gayangos (1809-97) celebrated Spanish Orientalist and polymath, is recognised as the father of the modern school of Arabic studies in Spain. He gave Islamic Spain its own voice, for the first time representing Spain's 'other' from 'within' not from without. This collection, the first major study of Gayangos, celebrates the 200th anniversary of his birth. Covering a wide range of subjects, it reflects the multiple fields in which Gayangos was involved: scholarship on the culture of Islamic and Christian Spain; history, literature, art; conservation and preservation of national heritage; formation of archives and collections; education; tourism; diplomacy and politics. Amalgamating and understanding Gayangos's multiple identities, it reinstates his importance for cultural life in nineteenth-century Spain, Britain and North America.It is also argued that Gayangos's scholarly achievements and his influence have a political dimension. His work must be seen in relation to the quest for a national identity which marked the nineteenth century: what was the significance of Spain's Islamic past, and the Imperial Golden Age to the culture of modern Spain? The chapters, informed by post-colonial theory, reception theory and theories of national identity, uncover some of the complexities of the process that shaped Spain's national identity. In the course of this book, Gayangos is shown to be a figure with many facets and several intellectual lives: Arabist, historian, liberal, researcher, editor, numismatist, traveller, translator, diplomat, perhaps a spy, a generous collaborator and one of Spain's greatest bibliophiles.

Amy Fried, "Pathways to Polling: Crisis, Cooperation and the Making of Public Opinion Professions"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415891426 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.5 mb
In midcentury America, the public opinion polling enterprise faced a crisis of legitimacy. Every major polling firm predicted a win for Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman in the 1948 presidential election―and of course they all got it wrong. This failure generated considerable criticisms of polling and pollsters were forced to defend their craft, the quantitative analysis of public sentiment.

Pathways to Polling argues that early political pollsters, market researchers, and academic and government survey researchers were entrepreneurial figures who interacted through a broad network that was critical to the growth of public opinion enterprises. This network helped polling pioneers gain and maintain concrete, financial support to further their discrete operations. After the Truman-Dewey debacle, such links helped political polling survive when it could have just as easily been totally discredited. Amy Fried demonstrates how interactions between ideas, organizations, and institutions produced changes in the technological, political, and organizational paths of public opinion polling, notably affecting later developments and practice. Public opinion enterprises have changed a good deal, in the intervening half century, even as today's approaches have been deeply imprinted by these early efforts.
