Enterprise Security Architecture - A Business-Driven Approach (Paperback): Nicholas Sherwood Enterprise Security Architecture - A Business-Driven Approach (Paperback)
Nicholas Sherwood
R1,745 Discovery Miles 17 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Security is too important to be left in the hands of just one department or employee-it's a concern of an entire enterprise. Enterprise Security Architecture shows that having a comprehensive plan requires more than the purchase of security software-it requires a framework for developing and maintaining a system that is proactive. The book is based around the SABSA layered framework. It provides a structured approach to the steps and processes involved in developing security architectures. It also considers how some of the major business issues likely to be encountered can be resolved.

Formal Languages and Computation - Models and Their Applications (Hardcover, New): Alexander Meduna Formal Languages and Computation - Models and Their Applications (Hardcover, New)
Alexander Meduna
R2,757 Discovery Miles 27 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Formal Languages and Computation: Models and Their Applications gives a clear, comprehensive introduction to formal language theory and its applications in computer science. It covers all rudimental topics concerning formal languages and their models, especially grammars and automata, and sketches the basic ideas underlying the theory of computation, including computability, decidability, and computational complexity. Emphasizing the relationship between theory and application, the book describes many real-world applications, including computer science engineering techniques for language processing and their implementation.

  • Covers the "theory of formal languages" and their models, including all essential concepts and properties
  • Explains how language models underlie "language processors"
  • Pays a special attention to "programming language analyzers," such as "scanners" and "parsers," based on four language models regular expressions, finite automata, context-free grammars, and pushdown automata
  • Discusses the mathematical notion of a "Turing machine" as a universally accepted formalization of the intuitive notion of a procedure
  • Reviews the general "theory of computation," particularly "computability" and "decidability"
  • Considers problem-deciding algorithms in terms of their "computational complexity" measured according to time and space requirements
  • Points out that some problems are decidable in principle, but they are, in fact, "intractable problems" for absurdly high computational requirements of the algorithms that decide them

In short, this book represents a theoretically oriented treatment of formal languages and their models with a focus on their applications. It introduces all formalisms concerning them with enough rigors to make all results quite clear and valid. Every complicated mathematical passage is preceded by its intuitive explanation so that even the most complex parts of the book are easy to grasp. After studying this book, both student and professional should be able to understand the fundamental theory of formal languages and computation, write language processors, and confidently follow most advanced books on the subject."

R2,640 Discovery Miles 26 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In programming courses, using the different syntax of multiple languages, such as C++, Java, PHP, and Python, for the same abstraction often confuses students new to computer science. Introduction to Programming Languages separates programming language concepts from the restraints of multiple language syntax by discussing the concepts at an abstract level. Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course, this classroom-tested book teaches the principles of programming language design and implementation. It presents: Common features of programming languages at an abstract level rather than a comparative level The implementation model and behavior of programming paradigms at abstract levels so that students understand the power and limitations of programming paradigms Language constructs at a paradigm level A holistic view of programming language design and behavior To make the book self-contained, the author introduces the necessary concepts of data structures and discrete structures from the perspective of programming language theory. The text covers classical topics, such as syntax and semantics, imperative programming, program structures, information exchange between subprograms, object-oriented programming, logic programming, and functional programming. It also explores newer topics, including dependency analysis, communicating sequential processes, concurrent programming constructs, web and multimedia programming, event-based programming, agent-based programming, synchronous languages, high-productivity programming on massive parallel computers, models for mobile computing, and much more. Along with problems and further reading in each chapter, the book includes in-depth examples and case studies using various languages that help students understand syntax in practical contexts.

Event structures are central in Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence research: people can easily refer to changes in the world, identify their participants, distinguish relevant information, and have expectations of what can happen next. Part of this process is based on mechanisms similar to narratives, which are at the heart of information sharing. But it remains difficult to automatically detect events or automatically construct stories from such event representations. This book explores how to handle today's massive news streams and provides multidimensional, multimodal, and distributed approaches, like automated deep learning, to capture events and narrative structures involved in a 'story'. This overview of the current state-of-the-art on event extraction, temporal and casual relations, and storyline extraction aims to establish a new multidisciplinary research community with a common terminology and research agenda. Graduate students and researchers in natural language processing, computational linguistics, and media studies will benefit from this book.

Programming permeates almost all aspects of our lives. This includes being active on social media, shopping online, and participating in virtual courses. It also includes driving a car and using many devices. This book will teach you the basics of programming using the Processing programming language and provide practice with logical, algorithmic thinking. It can provide insight into what is involved in producing the technical infrastructure of our world. While reading this book, you can build programs based on your own ideas, using images you create or acquire and making connections to activities you enjoy. The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects. The text contains an Appendix with an introduction to p5.js, a way to produce JavaScript programs with Processing functionality for drawing, images, and interactions to publish on the Web. The term for program in Processing is sketch. The Processing language has been constructed by visual artists using the Java programming language as a base. However, the sketches featured in this book and typical in Processing are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others. Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It does require attention to details and can be frustrating. Still, there is very little that compares to the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen.

Hands down, this is the best reference material on using asyncio anywhere." - Kent R. Spillner Learn how to speed up slow Python code with concurrent programming and the cutting-edge asyncio library. Python is flexible, versatile, and easy to learn. It can also be very slow compared to lower-level languages. Python Concurrency with asyncio teaches you how to boost Python's performance by applying a variety of concurrency techniques. You'll learn how the complex-but-powerful asyncio library can achieve concurrency with just a single thread and use asyncio's APIs to run multiple web requests and database queries simultaneously. The book covers using asyncio with the entire Python concurrency landscape, including multiprocessing and multithreading. about the technology The time demands of running code synchronously quickly overload standard Python and slow your programs to a crawl. Python's Asynchronous I/O library asyncio was built to solve these performance problems by making it easy to divide and schedule computational tasks so they can be run independently. asyncio concurrently handles multiple operations without a drop in throughput or responsiveness, making your apps lightning fast and easier to scale. about the book Python Concurrency with asyncio teaches you to write concurrent Python code that will boost the speed of your apps and APIs. The book demystifies asynchio's unique single-threaded concurrency model, giving you a behind-the-scenes understanding of the library and its new async/await syntax. Hard-to-grok concurrency topics are broken down into simple flowcharts so you can easily see how your coroutines and tasks are running. You'll learn to apply asyncio to solve common performance problems, such as batch database jobs, slow web servers, and scaling microservices. All examples you'll build are designed to be usable in the real world, including a clever command line SQL client that can run multiple slow queries at the same time. By the time you're done, you'll even be able to combine asyncio with traditional multiprocessing and multithreading techniques for huge improvements to performance. what's inside Use coroutines and tasks alongside async/await syntax to run code concurrently Build web APIs and make concurrency web requests with aiohttp Run thousands of SQL queries concurrently Create a map-reduce job that can process gigabytes of data concurrently Use threading with asyncio to mix blocking code with asyncio code about the reader For intermediate Python programmers. No previous experience of concurrency required. about the author Matthew Fowler has over 15 years of software engineering experience in roles from architect to engineering director.

The Rust programming language is consistent and does its best to avoid surprising the programmer. Like all languages, though, Rust still has its quirks. But these quirks present a teaching opportunity. In this book, you'll work through a series of brain teasers that will challenge your understanding of Rust. By understanding the gaps in your knowledge, you can become better at what you do and avoid mistakes. Many of the teasers in this book come from the author's own experience creating software. Others derive from commonly asked questions in the Rust community. Regardless of their origin, these brain teasers are fun, and let's face it: who doesn't love a good puzzle, right? What better way to exercise your brain and increase your Rust programming knowledge than with a collection of dynamic brain teasers? As you read through each of these puzzles and try to work out the answers, you'll not only learn about Rust's unique quirks and peculiarities, you'll also have loads of fun along the way. Dive right in and get started with example code and sample problems that cover numbers and text, shadowing and memory, and everything in between. Try to figure out why a particular program won't compile, why it produces unexpected output, or why it panics and terminates with an error message. Once you've run the code and read the answer, it's time to get to the heart of the matter with a detailed explanation. Learn why a program produced the result it did, and discover how similar issues might affect the code you write in your own programs, even in production. Sourced from engaging discussions within the Rust community, real-world problems, and even reader feedback, these challenges will certainly surprise, enlighten, and entertain you. Are you ready to experience Rust like never before? Then sharpen your brain and get ready for a challenge! What You Need: This book assumes you have some knowledge of the Rust programming language. To work through the brain teasers in this book, you'll need a working Rust environment on any platform. You can install Rust by visiting https: //rustup.rs/. You'll also need a text editor or Rust-friendly IDE.
