Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.Predicting the time needed to complete a project, task or daily activity can be difficult and people frequently underestimate how long an activity will take. This book sheds light on why and when this happens, what we should do to avoid it and how to give more realistic time predictions. It describes methods for predicting time usage in situations with high uncertainty, explains why two plus two is usually more than four in time prediction contexts, reports on research on time prediction biases, and summarizes the evidence in support of different time prediction methods and principles. Based on a comprehensive review of the research, it is the first book summarizing what we know about judgment-based time predictions. Large parts of the book are directed toward people wishing to achieve better time predictions in their professional life, such as project managers, graphic designers, architects, engineers, film producers, consultants, software developers, or anyone else in need of realistic time usage predictions. It is also of benefit to those with a general interest in judgment and decision-making or those who want to improve their ability to predict and plan ahead in daily life.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book answers two central questions: firstly, is it at all possible to verify electronic equipment procured from untrusted vendors Secondly, can I build trust into my products in such a way that I support verification by untrusting customers In separate chapters the book takes readersthrough the state of the art in fields of computer science that can shed light on these questions.In a concluding chapter it discusses realistic ways forward.In discussions on cyber security, there is a tacit assumption that the manufacturer of equipment will collaborate with the user of the equipment to stop third-party wrongdoers.The Snowden files and recent deliberations on the use of Chinese equipment in the critical infrastructures of western countries have changed this.The discourse in both cases revolves around what malevolent manufacturers can do to harm their own customers, and the importance of the matter is on par with questions of national security.This book is of great interest toICT and security professionals who need a clear understanding of the two questions posed in the subtitle, and to decision-makers in industry, national bodies and nation states.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.This easy-to-read book introduces the basics of solving partial differential equations by means of finite difference methods. Unlike many of the traditional academic works on the topic, this book was written for practitioners. Accordingly, it especially addresses: the construction of finite difference schemes, formulation and implementation of algorithms, verification of implementations, analyses of physical behavior as implied by the numerical solutions, and how to apply the methods and software to solve problems in the fields of physics and biology.
