Codecharts

Codecharts

Book Description

NEW LANGUAGE VISUALIZES PROGRAM ABSTRACTIONS CLEARLY AND PRECISELY

Popular software modelling notations visualize implementation minutiae but fail to scale, to capture design abstractions, and to deliver effective tool support. Tailored to overcome these limitations, Codecharts can elegantly model roadmaps and blueprints for , ++, and # programs of any size clearly, precisely, and at any level of abstraction. More practically, significant productivity gains for programmers using tools supporting Codecharts have been demonstrated in controlled experiments.

Hundreds of figures and examples in this book illustrate how Codecharts are used to:

  • Visualize the building-blocks of design
  • Create bird’s-eye roadmaps of large programs with minimal symbols and no clutter
  • Model blueprints of patterns, frameworks, and other design decisions
  • Be exactly sure what diagrams claim about programs and reason rigorously about them

Tools supporting Codecharts are also shown here to:

  • Recover design from plain and visualize the program’s roadmap
  • Verify conformance to design decision with a click of a button

This classroom-tested book includes two main parts:

Practice (Part I) offers experienced programmers, software designers and software engineering students practical tools for representing and communicating design. It demonstrates model programs, patterns, libraries, and frameworks using examples from JDK, Java , JUnit, JDOM, Enterprise , and the Composite, Iterator, Factory Method, Abstract Factory, and Proxy design patterns.

Theory (Part II) offers a mathematical foundation for Codecharts to graduate students and researchers studying software design, modelling, specification, and verification. It defines a formal semantics and a satisfies relation for design verification, and uses them to reason about the relations between patterns and programs (e.g., “java.awt implements Composite” and “Factory Method is an abstraction of Iterator”).

Building Software for Simulation

Book Description

A unique guide to the design and implementation of simulation software

This book offers a concise introduction to the art of building simulation software, collecting the most important concepts and algorithms in one place. Written for both individuals new to the field of modeling and simulation as well as experienced practitioners, this guide explains the design and implementation of simulation software used in the engineering of large systems while presenting the relevant mathematical elements, concept discussions, and code .

The book approaches the topic from the perspective of Zeigler’s theory of modeling and simulation, introducing the theory’s fundamental concepts and showing apply them to engineering problems. Readers will learn five necessary skills for building simulations of complicated systems:

  • Working with fundamental abstractions for simulating dynamic systems
  • Developing basic simulation algorithms for continuous and discrete event models
  • Combining continuous and discrete event simulations into a coherent whole
  • Applying strategies for a simulation
  • Understanding the theoretical foundations of the modeling constructs and simulation algorithms

The central chapters of the book introduce, explain, and demonstrate the elements of the theory that are most important for building simulation tools. They are bracketed by applications to robotics, control and communications, and electric power systems; these comprehensive examples clearly illustrate how the concepts and algorithms are put to use. Readers will explore the design of simulation programs, simulation using processors, and the integration of simulators into larger software systems.

The focus on software makes this book particularly useful for computer science and computer engineering courses in simulation that focus on building simulators. It is indispensable reading for undergraduate and graduate students studying modeling and simulation, as well as for practicing scientists and engineers involved in the of simulation tools.

Beyond Redundancy

Beyond Redundancy

Book Description

How Geographic Redundancy Can Improve Service Availability and Reliability of Computer-Based Systems

Enterprises make significant investments in geographically redundant systems to mitigate the very unlikely risk of a natural or man-made disaster rendering their primary site inaccessible or destroying it completely. While geographic redundancy has obvious benefits for disaster , it is far less obvious what benefit georedundancy offers for more common hardware, software, and human failures. Beyond Redundancy provides both a theoretical and practical treatment of the feasible and likely benefits from geographic redundancy for both service availability and service reliability.

The book is organized into three sections:

  • Basics provides the necessary background on georedundancy and service availability
  • Modeling and of Redundancy gives the technical and mathematical details of service availability modeling of georedundant configurations
  • Recommendations offers specific recommendations on , requirements, design, , and of georedundant configurations

A complete georedundant case study is included to illustrate the recommendations. The book considers both georedundant systems and georedundant solutions. The text also provides a general discussion about the capital expense/operating expense tradeoff that frames system redundancy and georedundancy. These added features make Beyond Redundancy an invaluable resource for network/system planners, IS/IT personnel, system architects, system engineers, developers, testers, and disaster / continuity consultants and planners.
