Description

In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world.
Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have?Mindstorms?to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers.
Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers,?Mindstorms?is their bible.

Description

Providing a single-valued assessment of the performance of a process is often one of the greatest challenges for a quality professional. Process Capability Indices (PCIs) precisely do this job. For processes having a single measurable quality characteristic, there is an ample number of PCIs, de?ned in literature. The situation worsens for multivariate processes, i.e., where there is more than one correlated quality characteristic. Since in most situations quality professionals face multiple quality characteristics to be controlled through a process, Multivariate Process Capability Indices (MPCIs) become the order of the day. However, there is no book which addresses and explains di?erent MPCIs and their properties. The literature of Multivariate Process Capability Indices (MPCIs) is not well organized, in the sense that a thorough and systematic discussion on the various MPCIs is hardly available in the literature.
Handbook of Multivariate Process Capability Indices?provides an extensive study of the MPCIs de?ned for various types of speci?cation regions. This book is intended to help quality professionals to understand which MPCI should be used and in what situation. For researchers in this ?eld, the book provides a thorough discussion about each of the MPCIs developed to date, along with their statistical and analytical properties. Also, real life examples are provided for almost all the MPCIs discussed in the book. This helps both the researchers and the quality professionals alike to have a better understanding of the MPCIs, which otherwise become di?cult to understand, since there is more than one quality characteristic to be controlled at a time.
Features:

A complete guide for quality professionals on the usage of di?erent MPCIs.
A step by step discussion on multivariate process capability analysis, starting from a brief discussion on univariate indices.
A single source for all kinds of MPCIs developed so far.
Comprehensive analysis of the MPCIs, including analysis of real-life data.
References provided at the end of each chapter encompass the entire literature available on the respective topic.
Interpretation of the MPCIs and development of threshold values of many MPCIs are also included.

This reference book is aimed at the post graduate students in Industrial Statistics. It will also serve researchers working in the ?eld of Industrial Statistics, as well as practitioners requiring thorough guidance regarding selection of an appropriate MPCI suitable for the problem at hand.

ISBN-13:9780128241189

Description

The Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence presents the biological and logical structure typical of human language in its dynamic mediating process between reality and the human mind. The book explains linguistic functioning in the dynamic process of human cognition when forming meaning. After that, an approach to artificial intelligence (AI) is outlined, which works with a more restricted concept of natural language that leads to flaws and ambiguities. Subsequently, the characteristics of natural language and patterns of how it behaves in different branches of science are revealed to indicate ways to improve the development of AI in specific fields of science.
A brief description of the universal structure of language is also presented as an algorithmic model to be followed in the development of AI. Since AI aims to imitate the process of the human mind, the book shows how the cross-fertilization between natural language and AI should be done using the logical-axiomatic structure of natural language adjusted to the logical-mathematical processes of the machine.

Automated Unit Testing with ABAP: A Practical Approach

Description

Write automated unit tests for the ABAP language. This book teaches programmers using simple examples and metaphors and explains the underlying concepts of writing effective automated unit tests. Many, if not most, ABAP programmers learned their programming and testing skills before the ABAP development environment provided an automated unit testing facility.
Automated Unit Testing with ABAP: A Practical Approach?offers hope and salvation to ABAP programmers who continue to toil with antiquated manual unit testing processes, taking them by the hand and lifting them out of that dungeon of despair with a modern and proven alternative. It begins by explaining how the xUnit family of automated testing frameworks provides a quick and effective means of insuring high-quality software. It then focuses on the ABAP Unit Testing Facility, the xUnit framework applicable specifically to the ABAP language, showing how it can be used to bring ABAP applications under automated testing control, from old legacy applications to those newly written.
Whereas xUnit testing has been widely accepted with developers writing in many other programming languages, it is an unfortunate fact in the ABAP community that many programmers still are unfamiliar with xUnit concepts and do not know how to begin implementing automated unit testing into their development process. This book demonstrates how to refactor programs so they become designed for testability, showing how to use process encapsulation and test isolation to facilitate automated testing, including a thorough explanation of test-driven development and the use of test doubles. The book:

Shows how to write automated unit tests for ABAP
Instills ABAP programmers with the confidence to refactor poorly written code
Explains how an automated testing harness facilitates rapid software development
Teaches how to utilize test-driven development (TDD) with ABAP
Offers advice and tips on the best ways to write automated unit tests

What You Will Learn

Become familiar with the xUnit approach to testing
Know the ABAP statements that interfere with running automated unit tests and how to accommodate them
Understand what it means to isolate code for testing and how this is achieved
Gain the confidence to refactor poorly written code
Make ABAP programs designed for testability
Reap the benefits of spending less time manually unit testing ABAP programs
Use test-driven development (TDD) with ABAP programming
Use configurable test doubles in ABAP

Who This Book Is For
ABAP programmers who remain unfamiliar with the automated unit testing facility and those who already use it but want to improve their skill writing and using automated tests. The book addresses the reluctance and trepidation felt by procedural ABAP programmers who need to know some object-oriented concepts to use this facility, expands their horizons, and helps them step through the doorway leading to a different approach to program design.
