The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gone through multiple waves of advancement over the decades. Today, AI can broadly be thought of as computerized systems that work and react in ways commonly thought to require intelligence, such as the ability to learn, solve problems, and achieve goals under uncertain and varying conditions. The field encompasses a range of methodologies and application areas, including Machine Learning (ML), natural language processing, and robotics. AI holds potential benefits and opportunities, but also challenges and pitfalls. For example, AI technologies can accelerate and provide insights into data processing; augment human decision-making; optimize performance for complex tasks and systems; and improve safety for people in dangerous occupations. On the other hand, AI systems may perpetuate or amplify bias, may not yet be fully able to explain their decision-making, and often depend on vast datasets that are not widely accessible to facilitate research and development (R&D). Further, stakeholders have questioned the adequacy of human capital in both the public and private sectors to develop and work with AI, as well as the adequacy of current laws and regulations for dealing with societal and ethical issues that may arise. Together, such challenges can lead to an inability to fully assess and understand the operations and outputs of AI systems.

Exploring Operations Research with R shows how the R programming language can be a valuable tool – and way of thinking – which can be successfully applied to the field of operations research (OR). This approach is centred on the idea of the future OR professional as someone who can combine knowledge of key OR techniques (e.g., simulation, linear programming, data science, and network science) with an understanding of R, including tools for data representation, manipulation, and analysis. The core aim of the book is to provide a self-contained introduction to R (both Base R and the tidyverse) and show how this knowledge can be applied to a range of OR challenges in the domains of public health, infectious disease, and energy generation, and thus provide a platform to develop actionable insights to support decision making. The central idea behind this book is that R is a valuable computational tool that can be applied to the field of operations research. R provides excellent features such as data representation, data manipulation, and data analysis. You will learn how to program and manipulate data in R, how to harness the power of R’s tidyverse, and observe how R can be used to support problem solving within the field of operations research. The book is primarily aimed at post-graduate students in operations research. With its coverage of R, the tidyverse, and applications in agent-based simulation and system dynamics, the book also supports continuing professional development for operations research practitioners. As R is presented from scratch, there are no prerequisites, although prior experience of a programming language would provide useful contextual knowledge.

Write object-oriented code that’s manageable, maintainable, and future-proof. Simple Object Oriented Design: A guide to creating clean, maintainable code is a comprehensive handbook of design practices, principles, and patterns that help simplify object-oriented software. The book is aimed at the working developer. There’s no perfection-chasing classroom theory that fails in practice—you’ll master “good enough” techniques that are effective in real-world environments. As your software grows and expands, every new feature and functionality potentially adds complexity to your codebase. The result? Bugs, crashes, and too much time spent detangling incomprehensible legacy code. Properly-applied design principles help you ensure your applications are easy-to-manage for the long term. For readers who know an object-oriented language. This book’s Java examples are easy to understand for any developer.
