Categories for software engineering
This book provides a gentle, software engineering oriented introduction to category theory. Assuming only a minimum of mathematical preparation, this book explores the use of categorical constructions from the point of view of the methods and techniques that have been proposed for the engineering of complex software systems: object-oriented development, software architectures, logical and algebraic specification techniques, models of concurrency, inter alia. After two parts in which basic and more advanced categorical concepts and techniques are introduced, the book illustrates their application to the semantics of CommUnity – a language for the architectural design of interactive systems. "For computer scientists, this unique book presents Category Theory in a manner tailored to their interests and with examples to which they can relate." Ira Forman, IBM "This book applies little-known yet quite powerful formal tools from category theory to software structures: designs, architectures, patterns, and styles. Rather than focus on issues at the level of computational models and semantics, it instead applies these tools to some of the problems facing the sophisticated software architect.
Advancing Computational Intelligence Techniques for Security Systems Design
Security systems have become an integral part of the building and large complex setups, and intervention of the computational intelligence (CI) paradigm plays an important role in security system architecture. This book covers both theoretical contributions and practical applications in security system design by applying the Internet of Things (IoT) and CI. It further explains the application of IoT in the design of modern security systems and how IoT blended with computational intel- ligence can make any security system improved and realizable. Focuses on the computational intelligence techniques of security system design / Covers applications and algorithms of discussed computational intelligence techniques / Includes convergence-based and enterprise integrated security systems with their applications / Explains emerging laws, policies, and tools affecting the landscape of cyber security / Discusses application of sensors toward the design of security systems
