The TOGAF standard is a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools - for developing an Enterprise Architecture, developed by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum.

The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 is an update providing additional guidance, correcting errors, introducing structural changes to support the TOGAF Library (an extensive collection of reference material), and removing obsolete content. It may be used freely by any organization wishing to develop an Enterprise Architecture for use within that organization (subject to the Conditions of Use).

This book is divided into six parts:

Part I- Introduction
This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of Enterprise Architecture and in particular the TOGAF approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout the standard.

Part II- Architecture Development Method
This is the core of the TOGAF framework. It describes the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.

Part III- ADM Guidelines and Techniques
This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying the TOGAF framework and the TOGAF ADM. Additional guidelines and techniques are also in the TOGAF Library (available online from The Open Group).

Part IV- Architecture Content Framework
This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical architecture deliverables.

Part V- Enterprise Continuum and Tools
This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorize and store the outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.

Part VI- Architecture Capability Framework
This part discusses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture practice within an enterprise.

This work introduces computer graphics from a mathematical perspective, offering a balance of theory, applications, and code. The book begins with a discussion of basic graphics tools such as vectors, matrices, and quaternions, then builds up to more advanced topics such as the intersection of three-dimensional objects. Both classical and new topics are covered. Some topics discussed include basic transforms, curves, surfaces, and subdivision surfaces. New techniques such as wavelets, fractals, parameterization, and fluid simulation are also covered. Throughout a large portion of the book, a new curve and surface algorithm is developed to illustrate the use of mathematics to develop compute graphics algorithms. The book contains all of the classes in C# necessary for computer graphics, providing a full explanation of the C# code and C# implementations for many of the algorithms are provided. The authors are affiliated with the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Software project management is a crucial element in successful software and IT development, and requires students to develop an understanding of technical methodology and an appreciation of the many human factors that can play a part in software projects.

It provides both undergraduate and postgraduate students with a comprehensive introduction to software project management and has enjoyed a loyal following of users since the first edition published.

The book describes the use of smoothing techniques in statistics, including both density estimation and nonparametric regression. Considerable advances in research in this area have been made in recent years. The aim of this text is to describe a variety of ways in which these methods can be applied to practical problems in statistics. The role of smoothing techniques in exploring data graphically is emphasized, but the use of nonparametric curves in drawing conclusions from data, as an extension of more standard parametric models, is also a major focus of the book. Examples are drawn from a wide range of applications. The book is intended for those who seek an introduction to the area, with an emphasis on applications rather than on detailed theory. It is therefore expected that the book will benefit those attending courses at an advanced undergraduate, or postgraduate, level, as well as researchers, both from statistics and from other disciplines, who wish to learn about and apply these techniques in practical data analysis. The text makes extensive reference to S-Plus, as a computing environment in which examples can be explored. S-Plus functions and example scripts are provided to implement many of the techniques described. These parts are, however, clearly separate from the main body of text, and can therefore easily be skipped by readers not interested in S-Plus.
