This book presents TDF (Tactics Development Framework), a practical methodology for eliciting and engineering models of expert decision-making in dynamic domains. The authors apply the BDI (Beliefs, Desires, Intentions) paradigm to the elicitation and modelling of dynamic decision making expertise, including team behaviour, and map it to a diagrammatic representation that is intuitive to domain experts. This book is concerned with how to model the dynamic decision-making capabilities of individuals as well as teams, with a view to engineering competent, autonomous decision-making systems for applications such as UASs (Unmanned Aerial Systems) as well as simulations that implement virtual human characters.

This book is focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) services and smart environments that can be of assistance to the elderly and individuals living with dementia or some sensory impairment. The book outlines the requirements of the systems that aim to furnish some digital sensory or cognitive assistance to the individuals and their caregivers. Internet of Things and Smart Environments: Assistive Technologies for Disability, Dementia, and Aging covers the important evolutions of the IoT, the sensors, actuators, wireless communication and pervasive computing systems, and other enabling technologies that power up this megatrend infrastructure. The use of the IoT-based systems in improving the conventional assistive technologies and provisions of ambient assisted living are also covered.

This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques.

Hi, my name is Alexander Shvets. After two years of work, I'm happy to present to you my course on refactoring, which will make you a better programmer.
The book is divided into two large sections: Code Smells and Refactoring Techniques. The first part describes various signs and symptoms of dirty code. The second part shows different methods to treat dirty code and make it clean. The course teaches you about 21 smells of bad code and 66 refactoring techniques to fix them. Each chapter includes examples in Java, C# and PHP.

This book is about quantum computing and quantum algorithms. The book starts with a chapter introducing the basic rules of quantum mechanics and how they can be used to build quantum circuits and perform computations. Further, Grover's algorithm is presented for unstructured search discussing its consequences and applications. Next, important techniques are discussed such as Quantum Fourier Transform and quantum phase estimation. Finally, Shor's algorithm for integer factorization is explained. At last, quantum walks are explained in detail covering both the discrete and continuous time models,and applications of this techniques are described for the design and analyses of quantum algorithms.

Artificial Intelligence lives among us. They are in smartphones; they help people find information; they also learn the behaviors of their owners and produce relevant contents to enhance their user's experience and encourage them to continue using the device. Some people are actually right to be concerned when AI is deeply entrenched like this. In this book, we will discuss AI in detail, including its history, how it works, and how it influences the society.

Machine learning (ML) is the new age electricity. When electricity was discovered, nobody had anticipated the far-reaching effect it would eventually have. Machine learning has the same potential. Many people also consider machine learning (or artificial intelligence) as Industrial Revolution 4.0. There is often an apprehension that ML will cause massive loss of jobs. Our belief is that ML will not cause loss of jobs. Just like advances in electricity and computerization brought in more jobs due to increased productivity, ML has potential to create different kinds of jobs. What is needed is to be future-ready for the shift in nature of jobs. Many people believe ML only applies to complex activities requiring human level intelligence such as automated driving and playing video/board games better than humans; however, ML has many other much simpler applications.
