Ethical And Social Issues In The Information Age

by Joseph M. Kizza

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Computer technology, barely fifty years old, has enormously transformed human society. The computer revolution, as many have termed it, is quietly but surely affecting every human being on earth in a multitude of ways. Both large and small institutions and indi- viduals from all walks of life have come to rely on information, more so today than ever before. Although experiences on the whole have been positive thus far, troubling ethical and social issues are coming to our attention. The security of information we all have come to rely on is no longer guaranteed; individual norms of conduct and ethical behavior are changing. Computer technological development is outpacing the ability of our legal sys- tems. Traditional ethical issues like security, privacy, integrity, responsibility, anonymity, property rights, and related social concerns are also greatly affected by our highly tech- nological environment. Many ethical questions that used to be answered easily have become more compli- cated. Like symptoms of a disease, if these concerns are not diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion, they may become untreatable and eventually wreak havoc on human lives. The book analyzes the effects of computer technology on traditional ethical and so- cial issues. In particular, I explore the consequences of relatively new computer tech- nologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and the Internet. * Chapter 1 defines and examines personal and public morality, the law (both conven- tional and natural law), and the intertwining of morality and the law.

Integrated Approach To Software Engineering

by Pankaj Jalote

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 A lot has changed in the fast-moving area of software engineering since the first edition of this book came out. However, two particularly dominant trends are clearly discernible: focus on software processes and object-orientation. A lot more attention is now given to software processes because process improvement is con sidered one of the basic mechanisms for improving quality and productivity. And the object-oriented approach is considered by many one of the best hopes for solving some of the problems faced by software developers. In this second edition, these two trends are clearly highlighted. Aseparate chapter has been included entited "Software Processes. " In addition to talking about the various development process models, the chapter discusses other processes in soft ware development and other issues related to processes. Object-orientation figures in many chapters. Object-oriented analysis is discussed in the chapter on require ments, while there is a complete chapter entitled "Object-Oriented Design. " Some aspects of object-oriented programming are discussed in the chapter on coding, while specific techniques for testing object-oriented programs are discussed in the chapter on testing. Overall, if one wants to develop software using the paradigm of object -orientation, aB aspects of development that require different handling are discussed. Most of the other chapters have also been enhanced in various ways. In particular, the chapters on requirements specification and testing have been considerably enhanced.

C Programming: The Essentials For Engineers And Scientists

by David R. Brooks

72,86€ + 10% CARD

 1 The Purpose of This Text This text has been written in response to two trends that have gained considerable momentum over the past few years. The first is the decision by many undergraduate engineering and science departments to abandon the traditional programming course based on the aging Fortran 77 standard. This decision is not surprising, considering the more modem features found in languages such as Pascal and C. However, Pascal never developed a strong following in scientific computing, and its use is in decline. The new Fortran 90 standard defines a powerful, modem language, but this long-overdue redesign of Fortran has come too late to prevent many colleges and universities from switching to C. The acceptance of C by scientists and engineers is based perhaps as. much on their perceptions of C as an important language, which it certainly is, and on C programming experience as a highly marketable skill, as it is on the suitability of C for scientific computation. For whatever reason, C or its derivative C++ is now widely taught as the first and often only programming language for undergraduates in science and engineering. The second trend is the evolving nature of the undergraduate engineering curriculum. At a growing number of institutions, the traditional approach of stressing theory and mathematics fundamentals in the early undergraduate years, and postponing real engineering applications until later in the curriculum, has been turned upside down.

Introduction To Assembly Language Programming - From 8086 To Pentium Processors

by Sivarama P. Dandamudi

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 There are three main reasons for writing this book. While several assembly language books are on the market, almost all of them cover only the 8086 processor-a 16-bit processor Intel introduced in 1979. A modem computer organization or assembly language course requires treatment of a more recent processor like the Pentium, which is a 32-bit processor in the Intel family. This is one of the main motivations for writing this book. There are two other equally valid reasons. The book approaches assembly language programming from the high-level language viewpoint. As a result, it focuses on the assembly language features that are required to efficiently implement high-level language constructs. Performance is another reason why people program in assembly language. This is particularly true with real-time application programming. Our treatment of assembly language programming is oriented toward performance optimiza- tion. Every chapter ends with a performance section that discusses the impact of specific sets of assembly language statements on the performance of the whole program. Put another way, this book focuses on performance-oriented assembly language programming. Intended Use This book is intended as an introduction to assembly language programming using the Intel 80X86 family of processors. We have selected the assembly language of the Intel 80X86 processors (including the Pentium processor) be- cause of the widespread availability of PCs and assemblers. Both Microsoft and Borland provide assemblers for the PCs.

Objects And Systems - Principled Design With Implementations In C++ And Java

by Bernard P. Zeigler

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 The author''s aim in this textbook is to provide students with a clear understanding of the relationship between the principles of object-oriented programming and software engineering. Professor Zeigler takes an approach based on state representation to formal specification. Consequently, this book is unique through its - emphasis on formulating primitives from which all other functionality can be built; - integral use of a semi-formal behaviour specification language based on state transition concepts; -differentiation between behaviour and implementation; -a reusable heterogeneous container class library; -ability to show the elegance and power of ensemble methods with non-trivial examples. As a result, students studying software engineering will find this a distinctive and valuable approach to programming and systems engineering.

 Many students and programmers familiar with Pascal are now looking to upgrade their skills to a well-structured object-oriented programming language such as C++. This textbook provides such an "upgrade path" by presenting a course on C++ in the spirit of structured programming. Both authors teach this material to a wide variety of students and include numerous programming exercises to test a reader''s understanding and to increase their confidence in programming in C++.

Data Structures And Algorithms - An Object-Oriented Approach Using Ada 95

by John Beidler

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 This textbook provides an in depth course on data structures in the context of object oriented development. Its main themes are abstraction, implementation, encapsulation, and measurement: that is, that the software process begins with abstraction of data types, which then lead to alternate representations and encapsulation, and finally to resource measurement. A clear object oriented approach, making use of Booch components, will provide readers with a useful library of data structure components and experience in software reuse. Students using this book are expected to have a reasonable understanding of the basic logical structures such as stacks and queues. Throughout, Ada 95 is used and the author takes full advantage of Ada''s encapsulation features and the ability to present specifications without implementational details. Ada code is supported by two suites available over the World Wide Web.

Programming And Meta-Programming In Scheme

by Jon Pearce

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 By now, Scheme is a well-established programming language and is finding increasing popularity in programming courses for undergraduates. Its expressive capabilities are matched by a simplicity of language and ease-of-use which have made its adherents disciples! This textbook provides a comprehensive first course in Scheme and covers all of its major features: abstraction, functional programming, data types, recursion, and semantic programming. Although the primary goal of this text is to teach students to program in Scheme, it will be suitable for any student studying a general programming principles course. Each chapter is divided into three sections: core, appendix , and problems. Most essential topics are covered in the core section, but it is assumed that most students will read the appendices and solve most of the problems. (Nearly all of the problems require students to write short Scheme procedures.) As well as providing a thorough grounding in Scheme, the author discusses in depth different programming paradigms. An important theme throughout is that of "meta-programming": the perspective that programs themselves can be treated as data, and hence can be analyzed and modified as objects. This provides insight into topics such as type-checking and overloading which might otherwise be missed.
