Granular Computing: An Introduction (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) Feature

The theoretical foundations of granular computing are exceptionally sound and involve set theory (interval mathematics), fuzzy sets, rough sets, and random sets linked together in a highly comprehensive treatment of this emerging paradigm. Granular Computing: An Introduction covers a full spectrum of granular computing from the basic methodology through algorithms and granular worlds, to a representative spectrum of applications. This book will appeal to all developing intelligent systems either working at the methodological level or interested in detailed system realizations. The reader is provided with the underlying material on granular computing, as well as exposed to the current developments where it finds the most visible applications. Furthermore, this book provides an extensive bibliography after each chapter - an indispensable source of information to anyone seriously pursuing research in this rapidly developing area.

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition (ESI International Project Management Series)

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition (ESI International Project Management Series) Feature

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition identifies the PMO as the essential business integrator of the people, processes, and tools that manage or influence project performance. This book details how the PMO applies professional project management practices and successfully integrates business interests with project goals— regardless of whether the scope of the PMO is limited to managing a handful of specific projects or expanded to oversee the total practice of project management within the organization.

The book first considers the five stages of PMO capability, each benchmarking a particular level of capability achieved if functions are fully implemented. Each stage is also indicative of the organization’s maturity in project management, with the PMO’s role and responsibilities advancing from project management oversight and control at the lower end of the competency continuum to strategic business alignment at the higher competency stages.

This revised edition then examines 20 function models that can be used to guide the organization through the deliberation and the development of PMO operational capability. These models suggest what project management capability can be realized through comprehensive implementation of each PMO function.

Providing project and business managers with a starting point that enables them to achieve desired results from project management, The Complete Project Management Office Handbook is an important resource for everyone involved in making project management work effectively within the organization.

Information Systems: The State of the Field (John Wiley Series in Information Systems) Feature

Discussion of the precise nature of the Information System discipline has raged for more than twenty years and continues fiercely today. The most interesting aspect of recent debate is not only the sharpness and depth of the arguments, but the diverse conclusions arrived at by participants. Whilst very different, these have all been reached with the genuine aim of strengthening IS scholarship, and they all add to our specific understanding of the discipline in the last two decades. Edited by two of the most prominent academics in the field, this book brings together such perspectives along with wider contextual discussion to provide a fertile ground for reflection, learning and further debate.

System-Level Synthesis (NATO Science Series E: Applied Sciences, Vol. 357)

System-Level Synthesis (NATO Science Series E: Applied Sciences, Vol. 357) Review

System-Level Synthesis (NATO Science Series E: Applied Sciences, Vol. 357) Feature

System-Level Synthesis deals with the concurrent design of electronic applications, including both hardware and software. The issue has become the bottleneck in the design of electronic systems, including both hardware and software, in several major industrial fields, including telecommunications, automotive and aerospace engineering. The major difficulty with the subject is that it demands contributions from several research fields, including system specification, system architecture, hardware design, and software design. Most existing book cover well only a few aspects of system-level synthesis. The present volume presents a comprehensive discussion of all the aspects of system-level synthesis. Each topic is covered by a contribution written by an international authority on the subject.

Introduction to C++ for Financial Engineers: An Object-Oriented Approach (The Wiley Finance Series) Feature

This book introduces the reader to the C++ programming language and how to use it to write applications in quantitative finance (QF) and related areas. No previous knowledge of C or C++ is required. - experience with VBA, Matlab or other programming language is sufficient. The book adopts an incremental approach; starting from basic principles then moving on to advanced complex techniques and then to real-life applications in financial engineering. There are five major parts in the book:

• C++ fundamentals and object-oriented thinking in QF
• Advanced object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism
• Template programming and the Standard Template Library (STL)
• An introduction to GOF design patterns and their applications in QF Applications

The kinds of applications include binomial and trinomial methods, Monte Carlo simulation, advanced trees, partial differential equations and finite difference methods.

This book contains a CD with all source code and many useful C++ classes that you can use in your own applications. Examples, test cases and applications are directly relevant to QF.

This book is the perfect companion to Daniel J. Duffy’s book Financial Instrument Pricing using C++ (Wiley 2004, 0470855096 / 9780470021620)

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
