Algorithms in Bioinformatics

Introduction to Recursive Programming

A Practical Introduction, Second Edition

Manuel Rubio Sanchez

Wing-Kin Sung, National University of Singapore Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical and Computational Biology

Recursion is an important problem-solving skill that is considered to be one of the most difficult topics to master by CS1/2 students. The main goal of the book is to help students assimilate its fundamental concepts by analyzing a large number of problems of different nature. The material is presented at a slower pace than traditional textbooks, which usually devote only one chapter to the topic. In this regard, the book not only covers classical problems found in the literature in greater depth, but it introduces richer related problems as well. This will allow students to gain more insight by comparing the solutions, and by tackling more problems.

This book is intended to be an introductory bioinformatics textbook for mathematicians and computer scientists. It focuses on using algorithms and discrete mathematics to solve biological problems. The book systematically describes biological applications, the corresponding mathematical/computational problems, and various algorithmic solutions. It also discusses the practical use of various algorithmic methods and describes what algorithms should be used in different situations.

Introduction to CUDA and GPU Programming

Test Drive Blender

Tolga Soyata, University of Rochester, New York, USA Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science

A Starter Manual for New Users

This book provides a hands-on, class-tested introduction to CUDA and GPU programming. It begins by introducing CPU programming and the concepts of P-threads, thread programming, multi-tasking, and parallelism, and then interweaves those concepts into an introduction of GPU programming. Using Nvidia’s new platform, based on Amazon EC2 and Web GPU, the book uses a standardized architecture, while also exploring other architectures and their differences. The book also covers GPU multi-threading and Global Memory, CUDA atomics and the use of libraries on GPUs. Example applications in image processing, face detection, and tumor detection are also included.

This book will introduce you to the controls and steer you towards understanding what Blender can do. With this program you can create 3D models of objects and characters. The objects and characters can be placed in scenes. The scenes are captured by camera and rendered into digital images. The objects and characters can be animated and then, again, captured by camera and rendered to video files. Video files can then be compiled into movies. This book will show you how to make the Blender program go through some of its paces and give you an insight into this fantastic world. You will be shown the controls and given operation instructions allowing you to activate a variety of features.

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the practice of visualization for an educated, but non-technical, audience. The majority of visualization books are targeted towards future visualization designers and not potential users. Many core visualization techniques are available to users in over-the-counter software packages, however technical language, extensive graphical user interfaces, and non-intuitive workflows make these tools inaccessible to everyday users. Visualization is a powerful tool for understanding data and communicating ideas, and this book will empower those looking to begin utilizing those powerful data analysis and exploration techniques.

Design to Renourish

The Psychological Foundation of UX

Sustainable Graphic Design in Practice

A Practitioner Guide

Eric Benson and Yvette Perullo

Howard W Killam

Design to Renourish is a casebook for graphic design professionals and students who are looking to integrate sustainable ethos into their workflow. It addresses challenges of working with clients to create sustainable work by detailing various approaches to successfully completed, real-world client project case studies that utilized a sustainable systems methodology. Each case study features an interview with designers explaining how they collaborated with clients to achieve the most successful and sustainable product.

Textbooks used in classes focusing on User Experience or Human-Computer Interaction often fall into two categories: High theory or Practice. More than any other subject does this discipline require that textbooks cover both. This book addresses the psychological principles that are needed to properly understand and conduct the activities related to user experience research and design. It’s a theoretical approach with practical application to user experience design. It covers every process of the UX lifecycle—design, research, iteration, prototyping—and explains the why behind every step, providing a unifying theory of the UX process. Through this theory, readers learn to evaluate interface design in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and cost.

Acting and Character Animation

Bringing Animals to Life

The Art of Animated Films, Acting and Visualizing

A Personal Approach and Practical Strategies from a Disney Animator

Rolf Giesen, Visual Effects Society and Anna Khan, Peking University, Beijing, China

Russ Edmonds

Animation has a lot to do with acting. That is, character animation, not the standardized, mechanical process of animation. Acting and animation are highly creative processes. This book is divided into two parts: From film history we learn about the importance of actors and the variety of acting that goes into animation; then, we will turn to the actor's point of view to describe the various techniques involved. Through exhaustive research and interviews with people ranging from Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis to Jaffrey Katzenberg and Ed Hooks, this book will be the primary source for animators and animation actors.

Animals are just as much a part of animation as they ever were, but many of today’s artists, stuck inside wrestling with software, miss out on the real-world interaction necessary to properly design and animate these four-legged friends. In Bringing Animals to Life veteran Disney animator Russ Edmonds simplifies the process, from first observation to finished scene, combining years of invaluable study and practice into a single book. You’ll be able to get beyond the basics and add believability through proper physics and motion and create essential acting performances by giving your characters unique personalities.

Gesture Drawing

Making Deep Games

A Story-Based Approach

Designing Games with Meaning and Purpose

April Connors

Doris C. Rusch

This instructional drawing book is intended to guide the reader through a story-telling based approach to gesture drawing, utilizing different techniques and exercises that encourage and develop creative problem solving as it relates to observational studies. This book clearly outlines a work flow and process with a simple exercise program that encourages the artist to ask questions and create work that engages not only their audience but themselves. Rich illustrations are included throughout that depict this workflow and also different drawing and mark-making techniques, and how to apply the exercises throughout the course of the book. Included are video drawing tutorials and examples.

Games can be used as a tool to evoke social change. Making Deep Games combines theoretical discussions about the expressive nature of games, case studies of existing games, and hands-on design exercises. Grounded in cognitive linguistics and psychological theories, this book explores a systematic approach for how to tackle complex concepts, inner processes, emotions, and the human condition in game design. This book offers insight into how to make games that are about more than blowing stuff up: games that teach us something about the human condition and promote personal and social change.

Raw Game Design

The Handbook of Game Audio Using Wwise

Tadhg Kelly

Gordon Durity and Aleksandar Zecevic

This is a practical book that teaches a format (not a formula) for designing games. Its focus is on making the designer understand who her audience is, what the requirements of the team that she works with are, and why clarity saves so much time and money in the long run. It teaches a variety of tools that designers can use to validate a design on paper (such as resource tables, mechanical loops and the game design canvas) and imparts a way of writing that moves design away from encyclopedic bibles and into production-driven specs.

This book is for game audio professionals at all levels: indie game development, mid-sized studios, or AAA studios. This book is both theoretical and practical and includes conceptual work, case studies of popular games and hands-on development examples that cannot be found in any manual. Real-world examples and solutions in Wwise, up to an expert level, and detailed concepts in planning and executing projects in game audio that are seldom discussed, are discussed here. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of various approaches to problems faced doing game audio as well as a better understanding of the technology underlying the Wwise engine and how to best use this tool.

Digital Love

Procedural Generation in Game Design

Romance in Single-Player Roleplaying Games

Edited by Tanya Short and Tarn Adams

Heidi McDonald

This book is an edited collection of chapters, each covering an aspect of video game development called procedural generation. This approach to development means that the games themselves create their play areas, objects and stories based on a set of rules, rather than relying on the developer to handcraft each element individually. The reader will learn to create randomized maps, weave accidental plotlines, and manage complex systems that are prone to unpredictable behavior. Examines content and system creation. Designers from a variety of studios provide concrete examples from their games to illustrate the many facets of this emerging sub-discipline.

Digital Love: Romance in Single-Player, Role-Playing Games focuses on the history and nature of romance in role-playing games, the mechanics generally used to deliver romance, and ways in which it is typically integrated. The book presents research on the difference between romance behaviors in real life vs. role-playing games. It breaks out romance research data by gender and also touches on alternate sexuality romance in games. The book discusses how to write better romance games based on gaming scholarship, psychology, and other considerations. The romance systems of various games are also discussed in detail.

Game Balance

Situational Game Design

Brenda Romero and Ian Schreiber

Brian Upton

Within the field of game design, game balance can best be described as a black art. It is the process by which game designers make a game simultaneously fair for players while providing them just the right amount of difficulty to be both exciting and challenging without making the game entirely predictable. This involves a combination of mathematics, psychology, and occasionally other fields such as economics and game theory. Throughout the book, relevant topics on the use of spreadsheet programs will be included in each chapter. The book therefore doubles as a useful reference on Microsoft Excel, Google Spreadsheets, and other spreadsheet programs and their uses for game designers.

Situational Design lays out a new methodology for designing and critiquing videogames. While most game design books focus on games as formal systems, Situational Design concentrates squarely on player experience. It looks at how playfulness is not a property of a game considered in isolation, but rather the result of the intersection of a game with an appropriate player. Starting from simple concepts, the book advances step-by-step to build up a set of practical tools for designing player-centric playful situations. While these tools provide a fresh perspective on familiar design challenges as well as those overlooked by more transactional design paradigms.

The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design Celia Hodent, Epic Games, Cary, North Carolina, USA User experience in the gaming industry is a hot topic, as is psychology and neuroscience. Most believe that the brain is rational and makes decisions based on logic and analysis. However, numerous studies show that the brain is instead emotional, and that our decisions are heavily influenced by many biases. As a developer, this raises difficulties that must be taken into account for players to have great experiences. In this book readers will learn how to use neuroscience (the study of how the brain perceives, processes information, and retains it) and user experience guidelines to constantly be aware of these biases so they can make the best design decisions and ship higher-quality games more quickly.

Big Data Security

Oracle Middleware

Reducing the Risk of Integrating Hadoop

Strategies, Development, and Management

Paul M. Wright

Tricia Ballad, Technology Writer, Bloomington, Illinois, USA

Big data security enables products like Hadoop to provide new knowledge in a secure fashion. Big data brings together many previously separate units of data that were partially secured by their host’s technical inability to share that data seamlessly. The potential for data breach in a big data solution is huge. New processes and technology solutions are needed to enable sensitive data to be brought together safely allowing differential privacy, while simultaneously providing new knowledge from the aggregated results. This practical book shows how to protect Hadoop data from unauthorized access, and limit the ability of an attacker to corrupt or modify data in the event of a security breach.

This book provides the hands-on information and understanding required to effectively manage Oracle middleware. Emphasizing problem solving, the text allows readers to quickly and easily apply information to meet their immediate needs. It simplifies implementation, demonstrates how to tackle critical problems, and presents technical information with a focus on efficiency, security, and cost-effective solutions. Using illustrative diagrams and screenshots to aid in understanding, the authors lead readers step-by-step through the most crucial installation and middleware management tasks.

Processing An Introduction to Programming Jeffrey L. Nyhoff, Trinity Christian College, Palos Heights, Illinois, USA and Larry R. Nyhoff Originally designed to make it simpler for digital artists to learn to program, Processing is a wonderful first language for anyone to learn. Given its origins, programming graphics, animations, and interactivity is much simpler in Processing, thus providing a much-needed visual approach to programming instruction in computer science as well as the arts and humanities. However, current books on Processing are either artistically oriented or proceed at a pace that is not really accessible for novices. This gentle introduction to computer programming using Processing includes the standard programming constructs, as well as examples that use animation and interactive graphics.

Ruben Rios, University of Malaga, Computer Science Department, NCIS Lab, Spain, Javier Lopez, University of Malaga, Spain and Jorge Cuellar, Siemens AG, Munich, Germany Series: Series in Security, Privacy and Trust Today all kinds of ubiquitous systems, led by wireless sensor networks, can be seen as an unprecedented privacy risk given their ability to collect information on quantities and situations so far unsuspected. There is therefore an urgent need to develop mechanisms to ensure privacy in sensor networks. Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks focuses on location privacy, by which an attacker might determine the source and destination of communications with simple techniques. This poses a serious threat as the attacker might use this information to reach the assets or individuals being monitored or even to destroy or compromise the whole network. This book will aid in the protection against this serious privacy threat.

Edited by Florian Skopik Threat intelligence is a surprisingly complex topic that goes far beyond the obvious technical challenges of collecting, modelling and sharing technical indicators. Most books in this area focus mainly on technical measures to harden a system based on threat intel data and limit their scope to single organizations only. This book provides a unique angle on the topic of national cyber threat intelligence and security information sharing. It provides a clear view on ongoing works in research laboratories world-wide in order to address current security concerns at national level. It allows practitioners to learn about upcoming trends, researchers to share current results, and decision makers to prepare for future developments.

A Guide to Selecting Software Measures and Metrics

Empirical Research for Software Security

Capers Jones, Software Productivity Research, Inc., Massachusetts, USA

Foundations and Experience

Many organizations are poor in collecting data for either software project baselines or benchmarks. One study revealed that organizations collect only about 37% of actual effort and 63% is invisible and unmeasured. This book shows how to measure 100% of a software project instead of just a small fraction. It discusses serious metric and measurement problems that either produce incomplete data or which are so inaccurate as to actually distort reality and conceal true productivity and true quality of software development.

Making CRM Successful Strategy, Implementation and Management

Security and Safety Requirements for Software-Intensive Systems

Seth Kinnett

Donald G. Firesmith, SEI, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

CRM (customer relationship management) is an information industry term for methodologies, software, and usually Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage customer relationships in an organized way. This book delivers a winning approach to CRM strategy, implementation, and management, by combining a survey of existing CRM literature with real-life experiences drawn from the author’s extensive experience. In three detailed sections—strategy, implementation, and management—the text explores psychology, software design, maintenance of CRM systems, methodology, potential pitfalls, and solid recommendations.

Safety and security are major concerns with most non-trivial software-intensive systems, as hazards and threats raise the risk of accidents and attacks. Because requirements engineers, safety engineers, and security engineers do not know how to collaborate to produce proper safety and security requirements, systems are built with significant vulnerabilities that are difficult and expensive to fix. This book addresses this issue by integrating these areas and providing enough basic information to allow for effective collaboration. With examples, it provides a practical process for identifying, reusing, and managing requirements.

Model-Driven Development

Software Engineering for Science

A Practical Approach Jon Whittle, Lancaster University, UK, John Hutchinson, Lancaster University, UK and Mark Rouncefield, Lancaster University, UK Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Innovations in Software Engineering and Software Development Series Model-driven development (MDD) has been promoted as a natural progression in the development of software systems, but the hype has significantly outweighed the evidence of its successful use in practice. Based on interviews with thirty successful MDD adopters and hundreds of responses to an in-depth survey, this book finally reveals the truth about MDD, explaining how it works in practice. Helping readers avoid the trap of starting a costly adoption process without first knowing the truth, the authors provide hard facts based on industry evidence that shows where, how, and why MDD works.

Software Methodologies

Speed, Data, and Ecosystems

A Quantitative Guide

Excelling in a Software-Driven World

Capers Jones, Software Productivity Research, Inc., Massachusetts, USA This book uses a formal and standard evaluation technique to show the strengths and weakness of 65 software development methodologies such as agile, DevOps, RUP, Waterfall, TSP, XP and many more. Each methodology is applied to an application of 1000 function points using the Java language. Each methodology produces a characteristic set of results for development schedules, productivity, costs, and quality. The intent of the book is to show readers the optimum kinds of methodologies for the projects they are concerned with and to warn them about counter indications and possible harm from unsuitable methodologies.

Jan Bosch, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Innovations in Software Engineering and Software Development Series As software R&D investment increases, the benefits from short feedback cycles using technologies such as continuous deployment, experimentation-based development, and multidisciplinary teams require a fundamentally different strategy and process. This book will cover the three overall challenges that companies are grappling with: speed, data and ecosystems. Speed deals with shortening the cycle time in R&D. Data deals with increasing the use of and benefit from the massive amounts of data that companies collect. Ecosystems address the transition of companies from being internally focused to being ecosystem oriented by analyzing what the company is uniquely good at and where it adds value.
