Business Processes for Business Communities: Modeling Languages, Methods, Tools

Published 8 years ago

by Frank Schnthaler, Gottfried Vossen, Andreas Oberweis, Thomas Karle, Springer

After a brief introduction to the topic of business process modeling, the book offers a quick-start into model-based business process engineering. After that, the foundations of the modeling languages used are conveyed. Meaningful examples are in the foreground - each of the underlying formalisms is treated only as far as needed. Next the Horus Method is described in detail. The book defines a sequence of activities which finally leads to the creation of a complete business process model.
Improving Software Testing: Technical and Organizational Developments (SpringerBriefs in Information Systems)

Published 9 years ago

by Tim A. Majchrzak, Springer

Software is continuously increasing in complexity. Paradigmatic shifts and new development frameworks make it easier to implement software – but not to test it. Software testing remains to be a topic with many open questions with regard to both technical low-level aspects and to the organizational embedding of testing. However, a desired level of software quality cannot be achieved by either choosing a technical procedure or by optimizing testing processes.

Multi-Net Optimization of VLSI Interconnect

Published 9 years ago

by Konstantin Moiseev, Avinoam Kolodny, Schmuel Wimer, Springer

This book covers layout design and layout migration methodologies for optimizing multi-net wire structures in advanced VLSI interconnects. Scaling-dependent models for interconnect power, interconnect delay and crosstalk noise are covered in depth, and several design optimization problems are addressed, such as minimization of interconnect power under delay constraints, or design for minimal delay in wire bundles within a given routing area.
Guide to Software Development: Designing and Managing the Life Cycle

Mobility in Process Calculi and Natural Computing (Natural Computing Series)

Published 9 years ago

by Bogdan Aman, Gabriel Ciobanu, Springer

The design of formal calculi in which fundamental concepts underlying interactive systems can be described and studied has been a central theme of theoretical computer science in recent decades, while membrane computing, a rule-based formalism inspired by biological cells, is a more recent field that belongs to the general area of natural computing. This is the first book to establish a link between these two research directions while treating mobility as the central topic.
Dark Web: Exploring and Data Mining the Dark Side of the Web (Integrated Series in Information Systems)
