Introduction to Recursive Programming
A Practical Introduction, Second Edition
Manuel Rubio Sanchez
Wing-Kin Sung, National University of Singapore
Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical and Computational Biology
Recursion is an important problem-solving skill that is considered to be one of the most
difficult topics to master by CS1/2 students. The main goal of the book is to help students
assimilate its fundamental concepts by analyzing a large number of problems of different
nature. The material is presented at a slower pace than traditional textbooks, which usually
devote only one chapter to the topic. In this regard, the book not only covers classical
problems found in the literature in greater depth, but it introduces richer related problems
as well. This will allow students to gain more insight by comparing the solutions, and by
tackling more problems.
This book is intended to be an introductory bioinformatics textbook for mathematicians
and computer scientists. It focuses on using algorithms and discrete mathematics to solve
biological problems. The book systematically describes biological applications, the
corresponding mathematical/computational problems, and various algorithmic solutions.
It also discusses the practical use of various algorithmic methods and describes what
algorithms should be used in different situations.

Scalable Algorithms
Edited by Vassil Alexandrov and Jack Dongarra, University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
USA
Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed to enable key science applications and to
exploit the computational power of largescale systems. This is especially true for the current
tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems
continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale
systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very
high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and no
synchronization points. Authored by two of the leading experts in this area, this book
focuses on the latest advances in scalable algorithms for large scale systems.

Biometrics in a Data Driven World
Data Stewardship for Discovery
Trends, Technologies, and Challenges
A Practical Guide for Data Experts
Edited by Sinjini Mitra, California State University, Fullerton,
California, USA and Mikhail Gofman, California State
University, Fullerton, USA
This book is a compilation of important topics in
biometrics-based authentication, with a focus on new trends
such as applications in mobile platforms, social media,
healthcare, etc. One of the main challenges that the book
addresses is the effect of quality on biometric samples, both in
traditional and mobile applications – what kinds of noise and
disturbances affect authentication performance, potential
solutions to mitigate them and what the ramifications are in
terms of security. For example, how do face recognition systems
perform with faces with artificial make-up/disguise? The book
also addresses challenges in computing related to biometric data.
Barend Mons, Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands
Data scientists and data experts in general will play a key role in the sciences in the decades
to come. Yet there is not a comprehensive and flexible study book for the ‘data steward’
of today and the future. This practical book aims to remedy that. This book is written initially
from a life-science perspective, but most approaches discussed and linked are of importance
for all disciplines. The basic structure follows the so-called data stewardship cycle, from
study design to interpretation and long term archiving and availability of data.

A Concise Introduction to Hypercomplex Fractals
Displays
Andrzej Katunin
Fundamentals & Applications, Second Edition
This book presents concisely the full story on complex and
hypercomplex fractals, starting from the very first steps in
complex dynamics and resulting complex fractal sets, through
the generalizations of Julia and Mandelbrot sets on a complex
plane and the Holy Grail of the fractal geometry – a 3D
Mandelbrot set, and ending with hypercomplex, multicomplex
and multihypercomplex fractal sets which are still under
consideration of scientists. I tried to write this book in a possibly
simple way in order to make it understandable to most people
whose math knowledge covers the fundamentals of complex
numbers only. Moreover, the book is full of illustrations of
generated fractals and stories concerned with great
mathematicians, number spaces and related fractals.

pairs in a very intuitive way. While focusing on 2D, it is easily expandable to 3D computations.
The book is divided into three parts: Part I is an easy to understand tutorial with many
figures; Part II presents the mathematical background; Part III is dedicated to applications.
This book is a complete treatise on Quick Response (QR) Code symbols—the square
barcodes that can be read by smart phones. Widely used in marketing, they also reveal a
creative solution to interesting challenges in computer graphics. The book describes the
theory behind QR Code symbols and details the processes of encoding and decoding
information in a QR Code symbol. The book explains sophisticated error correction
techniques that allow a symbol to be scanned even if it is partially obscured, and it delves
into the theoretical foundation of error correcting codes using basic mathematics.

It begins by introducing CPU programming and the concepts of P-threads, thread
programming, multi-tasking, and parallelism, and then interweaves those concepts into
an introduction of GPU programming. Using Nvidia’s new platform, based on Amazon EC2
and Web GPU, the book uses a standardized architecture, while also exploring other
architectures and their differences. The book also covers GPU multi-threading and Global
Memory, CUDA atomics and the use of libraries on GPUs. Example applications in image
processing, face detection, and tumor detection are also included.
This book will introduce you to the controls and steer you
towards understanding what Blender can do. With this program
you can create 3D models of objects and characters. The objects
and characters can be placed in scenes. The scenes are captured
by camera and rendered into digital images. The objects and
characters can be animated and then, again, captured by camera
and rendered to video files. Video files can then be compiled
into movies. This book will show you how to make the Blender
program go through some of its paces and give you an insight
into this fantastic world. You will be shown the controls and

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the practice of visualization for
an educated, but non-technical, audience. The majority of visualization books are targeted
towards future visualization designers and not potential users. Many core visualization
techniques are available to users in over-the-counter software packages, however technical
language, extensive graphical user interfaces, and non-intuitive workflows make these
tools inaccessible to everyday users. Visualization is a powerful tool for understanding data
and communicating ideas, and this book will empower those looking to begin utilizing
those powerful data analysis and exploration techniques.

Design to Renourish
The Psychological Foundation of UX
Sustainable Graphic Design in Practice
A Practitioner Guide
Eric Benson and Yvette Perullo
Howard W Killam
Design to Renourish is a casebook for graphic design professionals
and students who are looking to integrate sustainable ethos
into their workflow. It addresses challenges of working with
clients to create sustainable work by detailing various approaches
to successfully completed, real-world client project case studies
that utilized a sustainable systems methodology. Each case study
features an interview with designers explaining how they
collaborated with clients to achieve the most successful and
sustainable product.
Textbooks used in classes focusing on User Experience or Human-Computer Interaction
often fall into two categories: High theory or Practice. More than any other subject does
this discipline require that textbooks cover both. This book addresses the psychological
principles that are needed to properly understand and conduct the activities related to
user experience research and design. It’s a theoretical approach with practical application
to user experience design. It covers every process of the UX lifecycle—design, research,
iteration, prototyping—and explains the why behind every step, providing a unifying theory
of the UX process. Through this theory, readers learn to evaluate interface design in terms
of effectiveness, efficiency and cost.

Acting and Character Animation
Bringing Animals to Life
The Art of Animated Films, Acting and Visualizing
A Personal Approach and Practical Strategies from a Disney Animator
Rolf Giesen, Visual Effects Society and Anna Khan, Peking University, Beijing, China
Russ Edmonds
Animation has a lot to do with acting. That is, character animation, not the standardized,
mechanical process of animation. Acting and animation are highly creative processes. This
book is divided into two parts: From film history we learn about the importance of actors
and the variety of acting that goes into animation; then, we will turn to the actor's point
of view to describe the various techniques involved. Through exhaustive research and
interviews with people ranging from Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis to Jaffrey Katzenberg
and Ed Hooks, this book will be the primary source for animators and animation actors.
Animals are just as much a part of animation as they ever were, but many of today’s artists,
stuck inside wrestling with software, miss out on the real-world interaction necessary to
properly design and animate these four-legged friends. In Bringing Animals to Life veteran
Disney animator Russ Edmonds simplifies the process, from first observation to finished
scene, combining years of invaluable study and practice into a single book. You’ll be able
to get beyond the basics and add believability through proper physics and motion and
create essential acting performances by giving your characters unique personalities.

Gesture Drawing
Making Deep Games
A Story-Based Approach
Designing Games with Meaning and Purpose
April Connors
Doris C. Rusch
This instructional drawing book is intended to guide the reader through a story-telling
based approach to gesture drawing, utilizing different techniques and exercises that
encourage and develop creative problem solving as it relates to observational studies. This
book clearly outlines a work flow and process with a simple exercise program that
encourages the artist to ask questions and create work that engages not only their audience
but themselves. Rich illustrations are included throughout that depict this workflow and
also different drawing and mark-making techniques, and how to apply the exercises
throughout the course of the book. Included are video drawing tutorials and examples.
Games can be used as a tool to evoke social change. Making
Deep Games combines theoretical discussions about the
expressive nature of games, case studies of existing games, and
hands-on design exercises. Grounded in cognitive linguistics
and psychological theories, this book explores a systematic
approach for how to tackle complex concepts, inner processes,
emotions, and the human condition in game design. This book
offers insight into how to make games that are about more than
blowing stuff up: games that teach us something about the
human condition and promote personal and social change.

Raw Game Design
The Handbook of Game Audio Using Wwise
Tadhg Kelly
Gordon Durity and Aleksandar Zecevic
This is a practical book that teaches a format (not a formula) for designing games. Its focus
is on making the designer understand who her audience is, what the requirements of the
team that she works with are, and why clarity saves so much time and money in the long
run. It teaches a variety of tools that designers can use to validate a design on paper (such
as resource tables, mechanical loops and the game design canvas) and imparts a way of
writing that moves design away from encyclopedic bibles and into production-driven
specs.
This book is for game audio professionals at all levels: indie game development, mid-sized
studios, or AAA studios. This book is both theoretical and practical and includes conceptual
work, case studies of popular games and hands-on development examples that cannot
be found in any manual. Real-world examples and solutions in Wwise, up to an expert level,
and detailed concepts in planning and executing projects in game audio that are seldom
discussed, are discussed here. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of various
approaches to problems faced doing game audio as well as a better understanding of the
technology underlying the Wwise engine and how to best use this tool.

Narrative Tactics for Mobile and Social Games
Pocket-Sized Storytelling
Toiya Kristen Finley, IGDA Game Writing Special Interest Group
Practical advice is given for improving narrative design and writing in mobile/social games.
While storytelling in mobile/social games has improved in the last 5 years, it’s still maturing.
This book addresses areas where the narrative in mobile/social games tends to be weak
or does not take into account the differences between games on these platforms and more
traditional videogames. The first half of the book covers general storytelling (worldbuilding,
character, dialogue, missions/quests) while the second half includes contributions from
well-known designers and writers covering game types/genres of mobile/social games
(educational games, IP, specific demographics, transmedia).

Digital Love
Procedural Generation in Game Design
Romance in Single-Player Roleplaying Games
Edited by Tanya Short and Tarn Adams
Heidi McDonald
This book is an edited collection of chapters, each covering an aspect of video game
development called procedural generation. This approach to development means that
the games themselves create their play areas, objects and stories based on a set of rules,
rather than relying on the developer to handcraft each element individually. The reader
will learn to create randomized maps, weave accidental plotlines, and manage complex
systems that are prone to unpredictable behavior. Examines content and system creation.
Designers from a variety of studios provide concrete examples from their games to illustrate
the many facets of this emerging sub-discipline.
Digital Love: Romance in Single-Player, Role-Playing Games focuses on the history and
nature of romance in role-playing games, the mechanics generally used to deliver romance,
and ways in which it is typically integrated. The book presents research on the difference
between romance behaviors in real life vs. role-playing games. It breaks out romance
research data by gender and also touches on alternate sexuality romance in games. The
book discusses how to write better romance games based on gaming scholarship,
psychology, and other considerations. The romance systems of various games are also
discussed in detail.

Game Balance
Situational Game Design
Brenda Romero and Ian Schreiber
Brian Upton
Within the field of game design, game balance can best be described as a black art. It is
the process by which game designers make a game simultaneously fair for players while
providing them just the right amount of difficulty to be both exciting and challenging
without making the game entirely predictable. This involves a combination of mathematics,
psychology, and occasionally other fields such as economics and game theory. Throughout
the book, relevant topics on the use of spreadsheet programs will be included in each
chapter. The book therefore doubles as a useful reference on Microsoft Excel, Google
Spreadsheets, and other spreadsheet programs and their uses for game designers.
Situational Design lays out a new methodology for designing and critiquing videogames.
While most game design books focus on games as formal systems, Situational Design
concentrates squarely on player experience. It looks at how playfulness is not a property
of a game considered in isolation, but rather the result of the intersection of a game with
an appropriate player. Starting from simple concepts, the book advances step-by-step to
build up a set of practical tools for designing player-centric playful situations. While these
tools provide a fresh perspective on familiar design challenges as well as those overlooked
by more transactional design paradigms.

The Gamer's Brain
How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design
Celia Hodent, Epic Games, Cary, North Carolina, USA
User experience in the gaming industry is a hot topic, as is psychology and neuroscience.
Most believe that the brain is rational and makes decisions based on logic and analysis.
However, numerous studies show that the brain is instead emotional, and that our decisions
are heavily influenced by many biases. As a developer, this raises difficulties that must be
taken into account for players to have great experiences. In this book readers will learn
how to use neuroscience (the study of how the brain perceives, processes information,
and retains it) and user experience guidelines to constantly be aware of these biases so
they can make the best design decisions and ship higher-quality games more quickly.

Big Data Security
Oracle Middleware
Reducing the Risk of Integrating Hadoop
Strategies, Development, and Management
Paul M. Wright
Tricia Ballad, Technology Writer, Bloomington, Illinois, USA
Big data security enables products like Hadoop to provide new knowledge in a secure
fashion. Big data brings together many previously separate units of data that were partially
secured by their host’s technical inability to share that data seamlessly. The potential for
data breach in a big data solution is huge. New processes and technology solutions are
needed to enable sensitive data to be brought together safely allowing differential privacy,
while simultaneously providing new knowledge from the aggregated results. This practical
book shows how to protect Hadoop data from unauthorized access, and limit the ability
of an attacker to corrupt or modify data in the event of a security breach.
This book provides the hands-on information and understanding required to effectively
manage Oracle middleware. Emphasizing problem solving, the text allows readers to quickly
and easily apply information to meet their immediate needs. It simplifies implementation,
demonstrates how to tackle critical problems, and presents technical information with a
focus on efficiency, security, and cost-effective solutions. Using illustrative diagrams and
screenshots to aid in understanding, the authors lead readers step-by-step through the
most crucial installation and middleware management tasks.

The Business Value of Software
Michael Harris
Software provides most organizations with key competitive advantages; however, IT is
often considered a major cost center rather than a valued investment for an organization.
Agile and lean techniques have helped to revolutionize software development, but they
don’t assess the value of these initiatives. This book argues that software development
must be organized, managed and measured to maximize the flow of business value,
end-to-end. It offers valuable advice and examples for identifying value and making it
visible to all stakeholders (business and IT) in order to drive the decisions that will increase
the flow of software value and drive greater business and economic benefits.

Mobile sensor systems such as smart phones and vehicular
systems represent a new type of infrastructure as an alternative
to energy constrained sensors of static sensor networks. Smart
phones and vehicular systems can support more complex
computations, have significant memory and storage, and offer
direct access to the Internet. Therefore, mobile people-centric
sensing can be a scalable and cost-effective alternative to
deploying static wireless sensor networks for dense sensing
coverage across large areas. This book explores mobile crowd sensing systems and their
protocols, current uses of mobile sensing, advantages of collective sensing, and examples
of crowdsourcing applications.

Processing
An Introduction to Programming
Jeffrey L. Nyhoff, Trinity Christian College, Palos Heights, Illinois, USA and Larry R.
Nyhoff
Originally designed to make it simpler for digital artists to learn to program, Processing is
a wonderful first language for anyone to learn. Given its origins, programming graphics,
animations, and interactivity is much simpler in Processing, thus providing a much-needed
visual approach to programming instruction in computer science as well as the arts and
humanities. However, current books on Processing are either artistically oriented or proceed
at a pace that is not really accessible for novices. This gentle introduction to computer
programming using Processing includes the standard programming constructs, as well as
examples that use animation and interactive graphics.

Today's malware mutates randomly to avoid detection, but reactively adaptive malware
is more intelligent, learning and adapting to new computer defenses on the fly. Using the
same algorithms that antivirus software uses to detect viruses, reactively adaptive malware
deploys those algorithms to outwit antivirus defenses and to go undetected. This book
provides details of the tools, the types of malware the tools will detect, implementation of
the tools in a cloud computing framework and the applications for insider threat detection.

Data Analytics for Internal Auditors
HIPAA and HITECH Cyber Security Tools and
Techniques
Richard E. Cascarino, Richard Cascarino & Associates,
Bryanston, South Africa
Series: Internal Audit and IT Audit
There are many webinars and training courses on Data Analytics
for Internal Auditors, but no handbook written from the
practitioner’s viewpoint covering not only the need and the
theory, but a practical hands-on approach to conducting Data
Analytics. The spread of IT systems makes it necessary that
auditors as well as management have the ability to examine
high volumes of data and transactions to determine patterns
and trends. The increasing need to continuously monitor and
audit IT systems has created an imperative for the effective use
of appropriate data mining tools. This book takes an auditor
from a zero base to an ability to professionally analyze corporate data seeking anomalies.

Using Security Data Analytics to Achieve and Document Compliance
Mary E. Brown, Capella University, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Series: Internal Audit and IT Audit
This book covers important and new concepts on which there is very little information
currently available. Healthcare organizations are waking up to many layers of risk related
to information security and privacy. They are being asked to engage in large amounts of
health information exchange which presents a wide array of challenges. Washington is
more aggressive in its HIPAA oversight, integrating aspects of compliance into JCAHO and
engaging in investigations of complaints and information breaches. The cost of
non-compliance with regulations is forcing healthcare organizations to spend more to
become compliant. This book provides timely and useful information that supports those
efforts.

Today all kinds of ubiquitous systems, led by wireless sensor
networks, can be seen as an unprecedented privacy risk given
their ability to collect information on quantities and situations
so far unsuspected. There is therefore an urgent need to develop
mechanisms to ensure privacy in sensor networks.
Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks focuses on location
privacy, by which an attacker might determine the source and
destination of communications with simple techniques. This
poses a serious threat as the attacker might use this information to reach the assets or
individuals being monitored or even to destroy or compromise the whole network. This
book will aid in the protection against this serious privacy threat.

Threat intelligence is a surprisingly complex topic that goes far beyond the obvious technical
challenges of collecting, modelling and sharing technical indicators. Most books in this
area focus mainly on technical measures to harden a system based on threat intel data
and limit their scope to single organizations only. This book provides a unique angle on
the topic of national cyber threat intelligence and security information sharing. It provides
a clear view on ongoing works in research laboratories world-wide in order to address
current security concerns at national level. It allows practitioners to learn about upcoming
trends, researchers to share current results, and decision makers to prepare for future

Series: Internal Audit and IT Audit
Internal auditors are expected to perform risk-based audits, but
do so partially because they focus on financial and compliance
risks at the expense of operational, strategic and technological
ones. This limits their ability to evaluate critical risks and
processes. This book merges traditional internal audit concepts
and practices with contemporary quality control methodologies,
tips, tools and techniques. It helps internal auditors perform
value-added operational audits that result in meaningful findings
and useful recommendations to help organizations meet
objectives and improve the perception of internal auditors as
high-value contributors, appropriate change agents and trusted advisors.

Walling Out the Insiders
Controlling Access to Improve Organizational Security
Michael Erbschloe
Insider threats are everywhere. To address them in a reasonable
manner that does not disrupt the entire organization or create
an atmosphere of paranoia requires dedication and attention
over a long-term. Organizations can become more secure, but
to stay that way it is necessary to develop an organizational
culture where security concerns are inherent in all aspects of
organizational development and management. While there is
not a single one-size-fits-all security program that will suddenly
make your organization more secure, this book provides security
professionals and non-security managers with an approach to
protecting their organizations from insider threats.

A Guide to Selecting Software Measures and Metrics
Empirical Research for Software Security
Capers Jones, Software Productivity Research, Inc., Massachusetts, USA
Foundations and Experience
Many organizations are poor in collecting data for either software project baselines or
benchmarks. One study revealed that organizations collect only about 37% of actual effort
and 63% is invisible and unmeasured. This book shows how to measure 100% of a software
project instead of just a small fraction. It discusses serious metric and measurement problems
that either produce incomplete data or which are so inaccurate as to actually distort reality
and conceal true productivity and true quality of software development.

Developing secure software requires the integration of numerous methods and tools into
the development process, and software design is based on shared expert knowledge,
claims, and opinions. Empirical methods, including data analytics, allow extracting
knowledge and insights from the data that organizations collect from their processes and
tools, and from the opinions of the experts who practice these processes and methods.
This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of empirical research methods, and
demonstrates how these methods can be used to hone a secure software development
lifecycle based on empirical data and published best practices.

Making CRM Successful
Strategy, Implementation and Management
Security and Safety Requirements for
Software-Intensive Systems
Seth Kinnett
Donald G. Firesmith, SEI, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
CRM (customer relationship management) is an information industry term for
methodologies, software, and usually Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage
customer relationships in an organized way. This book delivers a winning approach to CRM
strategy, implementation, and management, by combining a survey of existing CRM
literature with real-life experiences drawn from the author’s extensive experience. In three
detailed sections—strategy, implementation, and management—the text explores
psychology, software design, maintenance of CRM systems, methodology, potential pitfalls,
and solid recommendations.
Safety and security are major concerns with most non-trivial software-intensive systems,
as hazards and threats raise the risk of accidents and attacks. Because requirements
engineers, safety engineers, and security engineers do not know how to collaborate to
produce proper safety and security requirements, systems are built with significant
vulnerabilities that are difficult and expensive to fix. This book addresses this issue by
integrating these areas and providing enough basic information to allow for effective
collaboration. With examples, it provides a practical process for identifying, reusing, and
managing requirements.

As software R&D investment increases, the benefits from short
feedback cycles using technologies such as continuous
deployment, experimentation-based development, and
multidisciplinary teams require a fundamentally different strategy
and process. This book will cover the three overall challenges
that companies are grappling with: speed, data and ecosystems.
Speed deals with shortening the cycle time in R&D. Data deals
with increasing the use of and benefit from the massive amounts
of data that companies collect. Ecosystems address the transition of companies from being
internally focused to being ecosystem oriented by analyzing what the company is uniquely
good at and where it adds value.

Advanced Design and Implementation of Virtual
Machines
Xiao-Feng Li, Intel Company, Beijing, China
Virtual machines have been critical software systems for decades
and now platforms such as Apple iOS, Google Android, and
Microsoft Windows Phone all need them as primary application
execution engines. This book provides a systematic description
that combines high-level design and low-level implementations
and integrates advanced academic topics and commercial
solutions for industry. It presents two drastically different practical
virtual machine designs and implementations: one as an
introductory courseware and the other as a high-performance
software product with source code.
