Professor Stephen A. Cook is a pioneer of the theory of computational complexity. His work on NP-completeness and the P vs. NP problem remains a central focus of this field. Cook won the 1982 Turing Award for "his advancement of our understanding of the complexity of computation in a significant and profound way." This volume includes a selection of seminal papers embodying the work that led to this award, exemplifying Cook's synthesis of ideas and techniques from logic and the theory of computation including NP-completeness, proof complexity, bounded arithmetic, and parallel and space-bounded computation. These papers are accompanied by contributed articles by leading researchers in these areas, which convey to a general reader the importance of Cook's ideas and their enduring impact on the research community. The book also contains biographical material, Cook's Turing Award lecture, and an interview. Together these provide a portrait of Cook as a recognized leader and innovator in mathematics and Computer Science, as well as a gentle mentor and colleague.

This book explores the intersection of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber physical systems (CPS). It discusses how these technologies can be integrated to create secure and efficient CPS solutions. The book covers various topics, including the basics of blockchain and AI, their applications in CPS and the challenges of integrating these technologies. It also explores real-world examples of how blockchain and AI are used in CPS, such as smart cities, transportation systems and healthcare. The authors delve into the technical aspects of how blockchain and AI can be used together to enhance CPS security, data privacy and interoperability. They also discuss the potential benefits and limitations of these technologies and provide insights into the future of CPS. The goal of this project was to study time-series data and explore as many options as possible to accurately predict the stock price. Through my research I came to know about Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) which are used specifically for sequence and pattern learning. They are networks with loops in them, allowing information to persist and thus having the ability to memorize the data accurately.

Having a great idea or design is not enough to make your software project succeed. If you want stakeholders to buy into your design and teams to collaborate and contribute to the vision, you also need to communicate effectively. In this practical book, author Jacqui Read shows you how to successfully present your architecture and get stakeholders to jump on board. Misunderstanding and lack of buy-in leads to increasing costs, unmet requirements, and an architecture that is not what you intended. Through constructive examples and patterns, this book shows you how to create documentation and diagrams that actually get the message across to the different audiences you'll face. Software development and architecture have patterns and antipatterns that can be applied (or recognized) in writing code and architecting systems. A pattern is a reusable solution that has been shown to be effective when used to solve a problem. The biggest benefit is that someone else has done the hard work for you, and you just need to apply the solution to your particular situation and problem.

This book provides professionals and students with practical guidance for the development of safety-critical computer-based systems. It covers important aspects ranging from complying with standards and guidelines to the necessary software development process and tools, and also techniques pertaining to model-based application development platforms as well as qualified programmable controllers. Software, like any other engineering product, is developed today by adhering to a well-established development process involving a well-defined set of activities. Over decades, it has been established that building software of industrial quality, leave alone software for safety or mission-critical systems, is not just about talented programmer(s) writing code. Industries have developed their own processes with an aim to produce quality software. A process must facilitate assessing the quality of the software. In addition, it is also necessary to (i) make the development of software person independent and (ii) make the software, especially large software, easier to maintain and manage.

The organization of the material is presented as follows. This introductory chapter I represents a theoretical analysis of the computational algorithms for a numerical solution of the basic equations in continuum mechanics. In this chapter, the general requirements for computational grids, discretization, and iterative methods for black-box software are examined. Finally, a concept of a two-grid algorithm for (de-)coupled solving multidimensional non-linear (initial-)boundary value problems in continuum mechanics (multiphysics simulation) in complex domains is presented. Chapter II contains descriptions of the sequential Robust Multigrid Technique which is developed as a general-purpose solver in black-box codes. This chapter presents the main components of the Robust Multigrid Technique (RMT) used in the two-grid algorithm (Chapter I) to compute the auxiliary (structured) grid correction. This includes the generation of multigrid structures, computation of index mapping, and integral evaluation. Finite volume discretization on the multigrid structures will be explained by studying a 1D linear model problem. In addition, the algorithmic complexity of RMT and black-box optimization of the problem-dependent components of RMT are analysed. Chapter III provides a description of parallel RMT. This chapter introduces parallel RMT-based algorithms for solving the boundary value problems and initial-boundary value problems in unified manner.

What does humankind expect from Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What kind of relationship between man and intelligent machine are we aiming for? Does an AI need to be able to recognize human unconscious dynamics to act for the "best" of humans—that "best" that not even humans can clearly define? Humanizing AI analyses AI and its numerous applications from a psychoanalytical point of view to answer these questions. This important, interdisciplinary contribution to the social sciences, as applied to AI, shows that reflecting on AI means reflecting on the human psyche and personality; therefore conceiving AI as a process of deconstruction and reconstruction of human identity. AI gives rise to processes of identification and de-identification that are not simply extensions of human identities—as post-humanist or trans-humanist approaches believe—but completely new forms of identification. Humanizing AI will benefit a broad audience: undergraduates, postgraduates and teachers in sociology, social theory, science and technology studies, cultural studies, philosophy, social psychology, and international relations. It will also appeal to programmers, software designers, students, and professionals in the sciences.

Countless pieces of software are written in C. Every year, thousands of students learn the language. 50 years after first being created, it remains popular - especially for embedded applications.
That popularity means a great many books have been written on how to write C. So you might - quite reasonably - ask if the world really needs another one. The answer: "probably not."

Welcome to the fourth volume of Game Audio Programming: Principles and Practices – the first series of its kind dedicated to the art, science, and craft of game audio programming. This volume contains 17 chapters from some of the top game audio programmers in the industry and dives into subjects that apply to diverse game genres and from low-level topics such as thread-safe command buffers and pitch detection to high-level topics such as object management, music systems, and audio tools. With such a wide variety of topics, game audio programmers of all levels will find something for them in this book. The techniques presented in this book have all been used to ship games, including some large AAA titles, so they are all practical and many will find their way into your audio engines. There are chapters about timed ADSRs, data-driven music systems, background sounds, and more. This chapter shows a system that plays ambiences, handling the looped and one-shot sounds differently. Looped sounds are played at randomized intervals, fading in and out and to new volumes. One-shot sounds are triggered individually with randomized panning, but can optionally be placed into groups of repeated sounds. Implementations are presented both using built-in tools from the audio middleware and using C++.
