Game Development and Design
New!
Unreal Game Development Ashish Amresh and Alex Okita Using Unreal Engine 3, the authors of this classroom-tested textbook teach aspiring game makers the fundamentals of designing a computer game. The only prerequisite is a basic working knowledge of computers and a desire to build an original game. To get the most out of the material, the authors recommend that students work through the book together as a team and with time limits, mimicking the key elements of realworld commercial game development. The book mirrors the curriculum used at CampGame, a six week summer program organized for high school students at New York University and Arizona State University that has been running successfully for over five years. Students enter with no prior knowledge of game making; through the course of six intensive weeks, they finish as teams of budding game developers who have already completed fully functional games with their own designs, code, and art.
Features • Teaches the fundamentals of designing a computer game • Requires only a basic understanding of computers • Presents significant aspects of real-world gaming development • Shows students how to create designs, code, and graphics

Game Development and Design
Level Design Concept, Theory, & Practice Rudolf Kremers “This is not just another book that deals with the discipline of level design. … This book covers relevant concepts and theories behind designing levels. Instruction in building levels is replaced by fascinating examinations behind the reasons why.” —A. Chen, CHOICE, June 2010
“A book on level design comprehensive and relevant enough that I can recommend it to professional colleagues and students alike. … Kremers leaves no stone unturned, touching upon the relationship between level design and the game’s lighting, audio, story, artificial intelligence, mechanics, puzzles … It’s a truly grand task to take in the domain of ‘level design’ and try to wrap it up into a book of manageable length. Kremers has succeeded in doing so, unafraid to mix in the relevant considerations of game design, art, and psychology where applicable.” —Chris DeLeon, February 2010
Not tied to any particular technology or genre, this book is the first to use a conceptual and theoretical foundation to build a set of practical tools and techniques for level design. It covers many concepts universal to level design, including interactivity, world building, immersion, sensory perception, and pace. The author shows how to apply these concepts in practical ways using many examples from real games.

Access Control, Security, and Trust A Logical Approach Shiu-Kai Chin and Susan Beth Older Syracuse University, New York, USA
Developed from the authors’ courses at Syracuse University and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, this book equips students with an access control logic they can use to specify and verify their security designs. Throughout the text, the authors use a single access control logic based on a simple propositional modal logic. The first part of the book presents the syntax and semantics of access control logic, basic access control concepts, and an introduction to confidentiality and integrity policies. The second section covers access control in networks, delegation, protocols, and the use of cryptography. In the third section, the authors focus on hardware and virtual machines. The final part discusses confidentiality, integrity, and role-based access control.
Features • Employs propositional modal logic to explain access control principles • Shows students how to perform derivations and calculations with mathematical precision and accuracy • Focuses on reference monitors in security • Presents numerous examples ranging from the control of physical memory in hardware to multilevel security policies • Includes exercises that deal with application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation • Offers HOL-4 implementation and slides for each chapter available for download online Solutions manual available for qualifying instructors

Discrete Systems and Cryptography
New from Alexander Stanoyevitch California State University–Dominguez Hills, Carson, USA
Introduction to Cryptography with Mathematical Foundations and Computer Implementations
Discrete Structures with Contemporary Applications
“… It is apparent that Prof. Stanoyevitch put a lot of pedagogical and intellectual effort into making a textbook — a book aimed at students that makes life easier for the instructor. In addition, the book’s companion site features short MATLAB m-files and applets for quick demos. … a very well done, thoughtful introduction to cryptography.”
Reflecting many of the recent advances and trends in this area, this classroom-tested text covers the core topics in discrete structures as outlined by the ACM and explores an assortment of novel applications. Although the book highly encourages the use of computing platforms, it can be used without computers. A supporting website provides an extensive set of sample programs.
—Daniel Bilar, University of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
This self-contained introduction delineates cryptographic concepts in chronological order, developing the mathematics as needed. The text includes numerous examples and exercises, along with computer implementation sections that guide students through the process of writing their own programs. Detailed solutions to many of the exercises can be found in the appendices while a solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors. A supporting website provides an extensive set of sample programs as well as downloadable platform-independent applet pages for some core programs and algorithms.

Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition
Machine Learning An Algorithmic Perspective Stephen Marsland Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
“… liberally illustrated with many programming examples, using Python. It includes a basic primer on Python and has an accompanying website. It has excellent breadth, and is comprehensive in terms of the topics it covers, both in terms of methods and in terms of concepts and theory. … the book provides an accessible introduction to machine learning. It would be excellent as a first exposure to the subject …” —David J. Hand, International Statistical Review (2010), 78
“… it would make a good course text for an introduction and overview of AI.” —I-Programmer, November 2009
Written in an easily accessible style, this book not only demonstrates how to use the algorithms that make up machine learning methods, but also provides the background needed to understand how and why these algorithms work. It covers neural networks, graphical models, reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms, dimensionality reduction methods, and the important area of optimization. The author presents adequate academic rigor without overwhelming students with equations and mathematical concepts. He includes examples based on widely available data sets as well as practical and theoretical problems to test understanding and application of the material. Algorithms are also described with code examples. A supporting website provides Python code and data sets.
