Leverage leadership knowledge to make better software architecture decisions. Think deeply but implement slowly. The overarching goal of software systems (hence, for software architecture) is to build systems that meet quality standards and that provide the highest return on investment (ROI) in the long run or within a defined period of time. A great product requires a combination of technology, leadership, and product management (including UX). Leadership is primarily about managing uncertainty and making the right judgment. To build great products, technical leaders need to combine technology, leadership, and product management knowledge, and make the right decisions. Many technical mistakes come from the gap between knowledge about these three items and judgment. In Software Architecture and Decision-Making, Srinath Perera explains principles and concepts that software architects must understand deeply and how to employ those principles to manage uncertainty. The questions and principles discussed in this book help manage uncertainty while building software architecture and provide a framework for making decisions.

AI isn’t magic. How AI Works demystifies the explosion of Artificial Intelligence by explaining—without a single mathematical equation—what happened, when it happened, why it happened, how it happened, and what AI is actually doing "under the hood." Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—from self-driving cars, to image generation from text, to the unexpected power of language systems like ChatGPT—yet few people seem to know how it all really works. How AI Works unravels the mysteries of Artificial Intelligence, without the complex math and unnecessary jargon. Many books teach you how to do Artificial Intelligence (AI). Similarly, many popular books tell you about AI. However, what seems to be missing is a book that teaches you how AI works at a conceptual level. AI isn’t magic; you can understand what it’s doing without burying yourself in complex mathematics. This book fills that void with a math-free explanation of how AI works. While some books are down in the weeds and others offer a bird’s-eye view, this book is at treetop level. It aims to provide you with enough detail to understand the approach without getting bogged down in nitty-gritty mathematics.

If you're a DevOps engineer, SRE, or security engineer struggling under a deluge of telemetry data, this report is for you. High-quality metrics, traces, and logs are all essential for observing and working with modern systems, but when they're applied to a complex cloud-based system the result can be a confusing mess. Telemetry pipelines give you the tools to navigate this mess, providing the ways and means to extract so much more from your data. In this report, you’ll learn what the promise of telemetry pipelines is and how it feels to be able to use telemetry pipeline tools to master your flood of telemetry data. From there, we dive into the key concepts you’ll need when you build your own telemetry pipelines and look at some real-world examples. By the end of this report, you’ll understand how investing in your own telemetry pipelines can help you go even further, implementing valuable business cases, such as compliance and cost management.

With the development of Artificial Intelligence, developing expert systems to simulate human thinking has become a hot research topic nowadays. Expert system is an intellectual programming system that uses the knowledge captured from experts to solve specific problems reaching the level of experts. The crucial issues in developing an expert system are the representation of the obtained expert knowledge, the acquisition of experts’ professional knowledge, and the reasoning process of knowledge rules. So far, many knowledge representation methods have been introduced in the literature. Among them, the fuzzy Petri nets (FPNs) are a promising modelling tool for expert systems and have a couple of attractive advantages. Combining fuzzy sets and Petri nets, the FPNs are a graphical and mathematical model tool for representing imprecise information and supporting fuzzy reasoning in expert systems. An FPN is a marked graphical system containing places and transitions, where graphically circles represent places, bars depict transitions, and directed arcs denote the relationships between places and transitions. The main features of an FPN are that it supports visualized representation of information and provides a unified form to deal with imprecise and uncertain knowledge information. Due to these characteristics, the FPN method has been applied to many industrial fields for knowledge representation and reasoning in expert systems.

Building games with Unity is hard enough without having to stand up and go and make a coffee each time you want to just build your project or find out days/weeks down the line that some change you made while building your dream has incurred a debt that means your project cannot be built for one of your target platforms without a lot of rework. Through automation, many of these hardships can be detected early and free up time and stress by monitoring your project as it is being created, identify risks and issues as you write the code, and free up your machine while lengthy build processes are running. The change might be hard, but once setup, it will give you peace of mind that everything you create will run, updates will be automatically managed, and your players are less likely to be drafting one-star reviews on your next publication. Automation, often seen as a dark art or long-lost treasure that is hard to seek and even harder to find, can save you countless hours of repetitive tasks and look ahead to help avoid troubles on the road before you plummet off the cliff of despair, such as when Apple suddenly does not accept builds with feature X, because Unity… For developers having experience with Unity and interested in learning about (with no foreknowledge in) automation will greatly benefit from this book.

Symbolic Math Toolbox provides functions for solving, graphing, and manipulating symbolic math equations. You can create, run, and share symbolic math codes, and get suggestions for next steps for working with symbols in the MATLAB Live Editor. The toolbox contains functions for common math areas such as calculus, linear algebra, algebraic equations, differential equations, equation simplification, and equation manipulation. The Symbolic Math Toolbox allows you to analytically perform differentiation, integration, simplification, transformations, and equation solving. Dimensional calculations and unit conversions are also possible. Calculations can be performed analytically or using arithmetic operations with variable precision, and the results are displayed in a math set. Symbolic calculations can be shared with other MATLAB users as "live" scripts or converted to HTML, Word, LaTex, or PDF documents. MATLAB functions, Simulink function blocks, and Simscape equations can be generated directly from symbolic expressions. You can generate C or Fortran code fragments from a symbolic expression, or generate files containing code fragments, using the ccode and fortran functions.
