Vom Ding an sich zum Internet der Dinge
Seit Beginn dessen, was man Philosophie nennt – also dem Zeitalter der Vorsokratiker – haben große Geister sich bemüht, den Dualismus Geist-Materie zu überwinden und Erkenntnis auf eine einzige, eindeutige Quelle zurück zu führen – dem Ding-an-sich. Diese Entwicklung wird in diesem Buch nachverfolgt – bis hin zu den modernen Instrumenten der Datenhaltung und der künstlichen Intelligenz. Im Internet of Things schließlich werden Informationen und Objekte wieder zu einer einzigen Entität verschmolzen. Liegt da vielleicht die Lösung nach der Suche des Ding-an-sich?WOLFGANG OSTERHAGE ist Diplom-Ingenieur mit Promotionen in Physik und Informationstechnologie und war lange Jahre als Berater in internationalen Organisationen, der freien Wirtschaft und als Dozent an verschiedenen Institutionen tätig.

How to get Instant Overview
Often, Excel is used to evaluate given data. Which values are critical? Can I see at a glance what the development was like? Can I highlight a whole row if one column has important content? Or ask for the content of two cells, simultaneously? How do I get overview in a thick workbook? How do I get a clear and telling chart? Is there anything as clear, but not as large as a diagram? Can I ask Excel in natural language without any formula? All these questions are answered here.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office.

Business Capabilities
Geschäftsfähigkeiten als effektives Werkzeug für die Gestaltung von Unternehmens- und IT-ArchitekturenDas Konzept der Business Capabilities zur Beschreibung von Geschäftsfähigkeiten wird seit Langem erfolgreich im Enterprise Architecture Management verwendet. Sie gelten als Bindeglied zwischen Geschäftsprozessmanagement, IT-Architektur und Geschäftsstrategie. Die Möglichkeiten, Capabilities nutzbringend einzusetzen, sind jedoch weitaus größer und bieten sich für viele Aufgaben im Rahmen der Unternehmensentwicklung an.Dieses Buch gibt eine systematische Einführung in die Grundlagen, die Anwendung und die Vorbereitung für den Einsatz von Business Capabilities in der Praxis. Es beschreibt, wofür und wie Capability-Modelle verwendet werden können, und zeigt auf, wie Capabilities modelliert und ihr praktischer Einsatz als Werkzeug im Unternehmen vorbereitet wird. Dabei steht eine leichtgewichtige und zugleich flexible Variante von Capabilities im Fokus, die in Unternehmen als ein zentraler, fachlich orientierter Ordnungsrahmen in verschiedenen Arten von Projekten und regelmäßigen Linienaktivitäten eingesetzt werden kann. Neben der konzeptionellen Definition liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der Einbettung von Capabilities in den Unternehmenskontext, was anhand mehrerer Fallbeispiele verdeutlicht wird. Der Anhang des Buches enthält u. a. eine Übersicht über Objekt- und Beziehungstypen sowie eine Einordnung ausgewählter Rahmenwerke.Das Buch bietet einen flexiblen Werkzeugkasten mit vielen Beispielen für den Einsatz von Capabilities in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsfällen der Unternehmensentwicklung, aus dem sich Gestaltungs- und Führungsrollen bedienen können, um Verbesserungen zu konzipieren und umzusetzen.Über den Autor:Dr. Wolf Pfannenstiel arbeitete nach Studium und Promotion in Informatik an der TU Berlin zunächst mehrere Jahre als Business-Analyst und Softwareproduktmanager, bevor er sich auf Enterprise Architecture Management spezialisierte. Business Capabilities nutzt er als konzeptionelles Werkzeug seit mehr als 15 Jahren erfolgreich in Projekten verschiedener Art und Branchen. Seit 2015 arbeitet er bei der Innovationeers GmbH als Lösungs- und Enterprise-Architekt und begleitet sowohl die Vorbereitung als auch die Umsetzung von Innovations- und Transformationsvorhaben bei Konzernen und großen Mittelständlern.Zielgruppe:Enterprise-Architekt*innenBusiness AnalystsRequirement EngineersProjektverantwortlicheFührungskräfte/Management

Introduction to SparxSystems Enterprise Architect
SparxSystems Enterprise Architect (EA) is a logical choice for many companies and organizations: it combines a broad feature set with an affordable price. However, the robust range of features makes starting to use this fantastic tool a bit intimidating.Enter Michael, a fictional consultant and experienced enterprise architect featured throughout the book to show you how to populate a model with elements and connectors, and how to create diagrams that speak to the audience: management, project managers, internal audit, business stakeholders and IT representatives. As the book progresses Michael's duties continue with more advanced topics including the use of workflow tools such as Kanban boards. You'll even see how to present directly from Enterprise Architect so that latest information can be shown straight from the source!The last days of Michael’s mission are devoted to fine-tuning the enterprise architecture model with the help of tagged values. And to leave the model in the hands of the customer by creating a custom toolbox.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Setup EA and populate a model with elements, connectors and diagrams* Review the Big Five of enterprise architect: Model, Packages, Diagrams, Elements, Connectors* Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goalsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORNon-technical users who use EA mainly to document entire landscapes.Peter Doomen has been working as an architect, analyst, consultant, and teacher. He has been using Enterprise Architect since version 4. He has written two other books about the same subject. In daily life, he is fond of champagne and likes to teach about that subject as well.

Handbook of Software Fault Localization
Handbook of Software Fault LocalizationA COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF FAULT LOCALIZATION TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES In Handbook of Software Fault Localization: Foundations and Advances, distinguished computer scientists Prof. W. Eric Wong and Prof. T.H. Tse deliver a robust treatment of up-to-date techniques, tools, and essential issues in software fault localization. The authors offer collective discussions of fault localization strategies with an emphasis on the most important features of each approach. The book also explores critical aspects of software fault localization, like multiple bugs, successful and failed test cases, coincidental correctness, faults introduced by missing code, the combination of several fault localization techniques, ties within fault localization rankings, concurrency bugs, spreadsheet fault localization, and theoretical studies on fault localization. Readers will benefit from the authors’ straightforward discussions of how to apply cost-effective techniques to a variety of specific environments common in the real world. They will also enjoy the in-depth explorations of recent research directions on this topic. Handbook of Software Fault Localization also includes:* A thorough introduction to the concepts of software testing and debugging, their importance, typical challenges, and the consequences of poor efforts * Comprehensive explorations of traditional fault localization techniques, including program logging, assertions, and breakpoints * Practical discussions of slicing-based, program spectrum-based, and statistics-based techniques * In-depth examinations of machine learning-, data mining-, and model-based techniques for software fault localization Perfect for researchers, professors, and students studying and working in the field, Handbook of Software Fault Localization: Foundations and Advances is also an indispensable resource for software engineers, managers, and software project decision makers responsible for schedule and budget control.
