Mathematics And Applications Of Computer Graphics

by Jun Mitani, Kenshi Takayama, Makoto Fujisawa, Tomohiko Mukai e Yoshinori Dobashi

~~72,86€~~ 65,57€ 10% OFF

 This book equips readers with the fundamentals of 3DCG that support the advanced technologies. The content of this book is divided into four categories: modeling, rendering, character animation, and physical simulation, and each is explained in a separate chapter. In simpler terms, these four technologies can be described as creating shapes, creating images, creating motion, and reproducing the behavior of the natural world. The "Modeling" chapter describes the theory behind describing the shape of an object using surface meshes and then editing and manipulating them. The chapter "Rendering" focuses on the calculation of the luminance of an object''s surface, and describes methods for calculating global illumination and generating fast images using precomputation to produce realistic images. Physical phenomena such as light scattering, which is necessary to improve realism, are also explained. The "Character Animation" chapter introduces the skeleton method, a standard technique in animation production, and describes various animation editing techniques for humanoid character models. Finally, the chapter on "Physical Simulation" describes methods to compute the behavior of complex natural phenomena, including not only hard objects but also flowing objects such as water and air. The four topics listed here are the fundamental elements that support 3DCG. The chapters were written by researchers who are active at the forefront of their respective fields. Each of the authors has a remarkable track record and can be said to have led the development of 3DCG technology in Japan with their wealth of experience and knowledge.To understand the mathematical content of this book, basic knowledge of analysis and linear algebra is required. This book is suitable for upper undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and other fields in science, and is also useful for practitioners in game production and those who are interested in 3DCG.

~~92,74€~~ 83,47€ 10% OFF

 This book serves as both a textbook and handbook on the benchmarking of systems and components used as building blocks of modern information and communication technology applications. It provides theoretical and practical foundations as well as an in-depth exploration of modern benchmarks and benchmark development.The book is divided into two parts: foundations and applications. The first part introduces the foundations of benchmarking as a discipline, covering the three fundamental elements of each benchmarking approach: metrics, workloads, and measurement methodology. The second part focuses on different application areas, presenting contributions in specific fields of benchmark development. These contributions address the unique challenges that arise in the conception and development of benchmarks for specific systems or subsystems, and they demonstrate how the foundations and concepts in the first part of the book are being used in existing benchmarks. Further, the book presents a number of concrete applications and case studies based on input from leading benchmark developers from consortia such as the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) and the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). Besides a number of updates in almost all chapters, for this new edition three chapters are added in Part II of the book: (1) "Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence" to cater the growing need to evaluate and benchmark ML and AI systems, (2) "Scalability of Networks and Systems" focusing on novel metrics and techniques to evaluate scalability, and (3) "PC, Workstation, Graphics, and Network Benchmarks" covering popular benchmarks like SYSmark, PCMark, Phoronix Test Suite, 3DMark, the Blender benchmark, and end-to-end network performance tools.Providing both practical and theoretical foundations, as well as a detailed discussion of modern benchmarks and their development, the book is intended as a handbook for professionals and researchers working in areas related to benchmarking. It offers an up-to-date point of reference for existing work as well as latest results, research challenges, and future research directions. It also can be used as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate students studying any of the many subjects related to benchmarking. While readers are assumed to be familiar with the principles and practices of computer science, as well as software and systems engineering, no specific expertise in any subfield of these disciplines is required.

Managing Software Supply Chains - Theory And Practice

by Hai Yu, Shing-Chi Cheung, Ying Wang e Zhiliang Zhu

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% OFF

 Open-source software supply chains wield significant influence in the software industry, drawing substantial interest from enterprises, researchers, and policymakers. Leveraging third-party libraries to build software applications is a common practice aimed at cost savings and software quality enhancement. However, heavy reliance on external libraries often leads to a state of "dependency hell", marked by issues like incompatibilities, conflicting versions, bloated dependencies, and the inclusion of vulnerable library versions. Despite extensive research on software dependency management and the evolution of software supply chains, questions linger regarding the variances in dependency challenges across programming language ecosystems and how best to address the dependency hell phenomenon from an ecosystem-wide perspective.The aim of this book is to offer: (1) a comprehensive literature review on software supply chains, (2) discussions on modeling software supply chains and analyzing their evolutionary behaviors, (3) ecosystem-level strategies for diagnosing various dependency issues and automating problem resolution with cost-benefit analysis, and (4) provision of a toolkit and datasets to support future research and assist practitioners in addressing the challenges of dependency management. The methodologies outlined in this book have been previously presented in top-tier conferences and journals, with some techniques officially integrated into products by Microsoft Corporation and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. This book is designed to provide readers with a solid understanding of software supply chain fundamentals and practical guidance on implementing theory and techniques in real-world industrial settings.The book is chiefly intended for software engineering researchers and students with an academic background who are interested in learning about dependency management for third-party libraries, quality assurance for software supply chains, and the evolution of open-source software ecosystems. It will also be of interest to practitioners, including software engineers, quality assurance professionals, and software managers, as well as general readers. All will benefit from our systematic studies on the dependency hell phenomenon in various programming language communities and valuable associated artifacts.

Application Of Generative Ai In Healthcare Systems

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% OFF

 Generative AI has immensely influenced various fields, such as education, marketing, art and music, and especially healthcare. Generative AI can benefit the patient through various approaches. For instance, it can enhance the image qualities negatively affected by radiation reduction, preventing patients from needing to repeat the image-taking process. Also, the generation of one type of image from another more expensive one can help patients save funds. Generative AI facilitates the administrative process, letting the doctor focus more on the treatment process. It even goes further by helping medical professionals with diagnosis and decision- making, suggesting possible treatment plans according to the patient symptoms.This book introduces several practical GenAI healthcare applications, especially in medical imaging, pandemic prediction, synthetic data generation, clinical administration support, professional education, patient engagement, and clinical decision support, providing a review of efficient GenAI tools and frameworks in this area. GenAI empowers the treatment process through several methods; however, some ethical, privacy, and security challenges require attention. Despite the challenges presented, GenAI technological and inherited characteristics smooth the path of improvement for it in the future.
