As Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) gains a wider global
acceptance, the need for understanding its life cycle becomes
inevitable, not only for developers, but also for users. Service
Life Cycle Tools and Technologies: Methods, Trends and Advances
compiles the latest research on SOC life cycles, detailing
methodologies and applications in this emerging field. The
development of service-oriented applications not only depends on
constructing service providers, but also composition and delivery.
Service requesters, service providers, and developers, alike, will
benefit from the views and models in a service life cycle. This
volume offers research that has been conducted in both industry and
academia to address issues in the SOC domain, including service
discovery, service composition, and service management. It serves
as a vital reference for those on either side of the service field.
This edited book invites the reader to explore how the latest technologies developed in computational intelligence can be extended and applied to software engineering. Leading experts demonstrate how this recent confluence of software engineering and computational intelligence provides a powerful tool to address the increasing demand for complex applications in diversified areas, the ever-increasing complexity and size of software systems, and the inherently imperfect nature of the information. The presented treatments to software modeling and formal analysis permit the extension of computational intelligence to various phases in software life cycles, such as managing fuzziness resident in the requirements, coping with fuzzy objects and imprecise knowledge, and handling uncertainty encountered in quality prediction.
'A great novel of New York' - Garth Greenwell, author of What
Belongs To You The new novel from the New York Times-bestselling
author of High Dive The 'Father of Greater New York' is dead. Shot
outside his Park Avenue mansion in the year of our Lord, 1903. In
the hour of his death, will the truth of his life finally break
free? Born to a struggling farming family in 1820, Andrew Haswell
Green was a self-made man who reshaped Manhattan, built Central
Park and turned New York into a modern metropolis. Now, at
eighty-three, when he thought the world could hold no more
surprises, he is murdered. As the detective assigned to the case
traces his ghost across the city, other spectres appear: a wealthy
courtesan; a broken-hearted man in a bowler hat; and an ambitious
politician, Samuel, whose lifelong friendship was a source of joy
and frustration. In a life of industry and restraint, where is the
space for love? As restlessly inventive and absorbing as its
protagonist, The Great Mistake is the story of a city, and a
singular man, transformed by longing. 'Jonathan Lee has taken the
bare facts of a nearly forgotten life and turned them into a rich
and unforgettable story' - Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13 'A
meditation on the meaning of success, and a magical escape from the
twenty-first century that sent me back feeling wiser and more
hopeful' - Sandra Newman, author of The Heavens 'A wonder and a
delight' - Tea Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife
This book summarizes a range of new analytic tools for
multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data. Providing an expository yet
accessible approach to cutting-edge developments for MTMM analysis,
a selection of quantitative researchers reveal their recent
contributions to the field including non-technical summaries and
empirical examples. The contributions inform quantitative social
scientists of some of the most cutting-edge developments for MTMM
analysis. A range of developments have emerged over the past decade
for MTMM analyses, and this book presents these novel additions to
the quantitative community as a cohesive narrative. This book makes
these recent MTMM contributions accessible to applied researchers
(most MTMM innovations are presented in less approachable journals
for applied researchers) by providing non-technical summaries and
empirical examples. This book will serve as a stepping stone for
applied researchers seeking to adopt MTMM analysis into their
program of research, and will be relevant to researchers, both
within a professional and academic context, across the social and
behavioral sciences.
LEARN AND REVISE BIOPSYCHOLOGY - THROUGH COLOURING! Getting to
grips with the basics of Biological Psychology has never been so
easy. Each chapter guides you through the most important aspects of
this topic using diagrams to help you better understand your
course. From the nervous and sensory systems and how they
communicate using neurotransmitters, synapses and pathways, to how
the brain and body work together and how that impacts our
behaviour, this book covers everything you need to know. Actively
learn by: Colouring in each image to solidify your understanding
Completing labelling exercises to revise key details Colouring is
proven to help your brain make deep learning connections. Perfect
for revision, this book will help you take a break from your screen
whilst still building your knowledge and understanding to help you
succeed. You'll learn without even noticing and be able to recall
the knowledge in class and exams with ease!

It is not an exaggeration to view Professor Lee's book," Software
Engineer ing with Computational Intelligence," or SECI for short,
as a pioneering contribution to software engineering. Breaking with
the tradition of treat ing uncertainty, imprecision, fuzziness and
vagueness as issues of peripheral importance, SECI moves them much
closer to the center of the stage. It is ob vious, though still not
widely accepted, that this is where these issues should be, since
the real world is much too complex and much too ill-defined to lend
itself to categorical analysis in the Cartesian spirit. As its
title suggests, SECI employs the machineries of computational intel
ligence (CI) and, more or less equivalently, soft computing (SC),
to deal with the foundations and principal issues in software
engineering. Basically, CI and SC are consortia of methodologies
which collectively provide a body of con cepts and techniques for
conception, design, construction and utilization of intelligent
systems. The principal constituents of CI and SC are fuzzy logic,
neurocomputing, evolutionary computing, probabilistic computing,
chaotic computing and machine learning. The leitmotif of CI and SC
is that, in general, better performance can be achieved by
employing the constituent methodologies of CI and SC in combination
rat her than in a stand-alone mode. In what follows, I will take
the liberty of focusing my attention on fuzzy logic and fuzzy set
theory, and on their roles in software engineering. But first, a
couple of points of semantics which are in need of clarification."

Asia has emerged as a vital region for migration, as it produces
the most international and cross-border migrants and brings pivotal
new insights to migration studies. These two volumes on "The Age of
Asian Migration" revisit different forms and histories of migration
in Asia and the varied diasporas formed by Asian migrants. They
provide both updated data on Asian migration and suggest new ways
of looking at global migration overall.
