Computer Science & Software Engineering: New eBooks 2021-22

Describes influential AI narratives, relevant philosophical discussions, and the technology of AI. Coeckelbergh argues for ethical practices that embed values in design, translate democratic values into practices and include a vision of the good life and the good society.

Provides basic, practical, and field-independent techniques of parallel computing and related methods of numerical analysis for researchers who conduct numerical calculation and simulation.

Offers a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

Discover how to build, scale, and debug native iOS and Android applications from a single codebase using the Dart programming language and leveraging Firebase Machine Learning capabilities.

Explores a range of situations where robotics, biotechnological enhancement, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithmic culture collide with intersectional social justice issues such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and citizenship.

Learn how to make mobile native app development easier. If your team works with both iOS and Android or transitions between them, this hands-on guide shows you how to perform the most common development tasks in each platform.

Hoepman, an expert on computer privacy and security, debunks eight persistent myths surrounding computer privacy andnd shows how we can build privacy into the design of systems from the start.

Provides techniques to discover and weigh the trade-offs and effectively document decisions as you confront the issues facing software architects

Today, software engineers need to know how to develop proper engineering practices to make their codebase sustainable and healthy. This book explores how time and scale affect software sustainability and viability.

An essential guide to planning, designing, and preserving secure wireless infrastructures for organizations of all sizes. Includes planning templates, guides and case studies and covers WPA3 security, Wi-fi 6E and zero-trust frameworks.

A digital anthropologist examines the online lives of millions of people in China, India, Brazil, and across the Middle East-home to most of the world's internet users-and discovers that they go online to do much more than study, find jobs, and obtain health information.

The authors describe techniques they have found effective--over their combined 100-plus years of programming experience--that will help programmers build large systems that can be easily adapted for new situations with only minor programming modifications.

Structured to align closely with the official C++ Core Guidelines website, this book includes expert sample code and proven ways to write robust programs that are statically type-safe, leak resistant, and easier to evolve.

This book examines contractual, object-oriented designs for immediate and sustained use as well as code reuse. The intent of identifying design variants is to recognize and manage conflicting goals such as: short versus long-term utility, stability versus flexibility, storage versus computation.

Tells the story of how the Simulmatics Corporation mined data, targeted voters, manipulated consumers, and destabilized politics decades before Facebook, Google, and Cambridge Analytica.

Rapid progress in artificial intelligence has led to smartphones that recognize faces, cars that detect pedestrians, and algorithms that suggest diagnoses from clinical images, among many other applications. This book introduces the neuroscientific study of neuronal computations in visual cortex alongside of the psychological understanding of visual cognition and the burgeoning field of biologically-inspired artificial intelligence.
