This book provides professionals and students with practical guidance for the development of safety-critical computer-based systems. It covers important aspects ranging from complying with standards and guidelines to the necessary software development process and tools, and also techniques pertaining to model-based application development platforms as well as qualified programmable controllers. Software, like any other engineering product, is developed today by adhering to a well-established development process involving a well-defined set of activities. Over decades, it has been established that building software of industrial quality, leave alone software for safety or mission-critical systems, is not just about talented programmer(s) writing code. Industries have developed their own processes with an aim to produce quality software. A process must facilitate assessing the quality of the software. In addition, it is also necessary to (i) make the development of software person independent and (ii) make the software, especially large software, easier to maintain and manage.

The organization of the material is presented as follows. This introductory chapter I represents a theoretical analysis of the computational algorithms for a numerical solution of the basic equations in continuum mechanics. In this chapter, the general requirements for computational grids, discretization, and iterative methods for black-box software are examined. Finally, a concept of a two-grid algorithm for (de-)coupled solving multidimensional non-linear (initial-)boundary value problems in continuum mechanics (multiphysics simulation) in complex domains is presented. Chapter II contains descriptions of the sequential Robust Multigrid Technique which is developed as a general-purpose solver in black-box codes. This chapter presents the main components of the Robust Multigrid Technique (RMT) used in the two-grid algorithm (Chapter I) to compute the auxiliary (structured) grid correction. This includes the generation of multigrid structures, computation of index mapping, and integral evaluation. Finite volume discretization on the multigrid structures will be explained by studying a 1D linear model problem. In addition, the algorithmic complexity of RMT and black-box optimization of the problem-dependent components of RMT are analysed. Chapter III provides a description of parallel RMT. This chapter introduces parallel RMT-based algorithms for solving the boundary value problems and initial-boundary value problems in unified manner.

What does humankind expect from Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What kind of relationship between man and intelligent machine are we aiming for? Does an AI need to be able to recognize human unconscious dynamics to act for the "best" of humans—that "best" that not even humans can clearly define? Humanizing AI analyses AI and its numerous applications from a psychoanalytical point of view to answer these questions. This important, interdisciplinary contribution to the social sciences, as applied to AI, shows that reflecting on AI means reflecting on the human psyche and personality; therefore conceiving AI as a process of deconstruction and reconstruction of human identity. AI gives rise to processes of identification and de-identification that are not simply extensions of human identities—as post-humanist or trans-humanist approaches believe—but completely new forms of identification. Humanizing AI will benefit a broad audience: undergraduates, postgraduates and teachers in sociology, social theory, science and technology studies, cultural studies, philosophy, social psychology, and international relations. It will also appeal to programmers, software designers, students, and professionals in the sciences.

Countless pieces of software are written in C. Every year, thousands of students learn the language. 50 years after first being created, it remains popular - especially for embedded applications.
That popularity means a great many books have been written on how to write C. So you might - quite reasonably - ask if the world really needs another one. The answer: "probably not."

Welcome to the fourth volume of Game Audio Programming: Principles and Practices – the first series of its kind dedicated to the art, science, and craft of game audio programming. This volume contains 17 chapters from some of the top game audio programmers in the industry and dives into subjects that apply to diverse game genres and from low-level topics such as thread-safe command buffers and pitch detection to high-level topics such as object management, music systems, and audio tools. With such a wide variety of topics, game audio programmers of all levels will find something for them in this book. The techniques presented in this book have all been used to ship games, including some large AAA titles, so they are all practical and many will find their way into your audio engines. There are chapters about timed ADSRs, data-driven music systems, background sounds, and more. This chapter shows a system that plays ambiences, handling the looped and one-shot sounds differently. Looped sounds are played at randomized intervals, fading in and out and to new volumes. One-shot sounds are triggered individually with randomized panning, but can optionally be placed into groups of repeated sounds. Implementations are presented both using built-in tools from the audio middleware and using C++.

The release of ChatGPT has kicked off an arms race in Machine Learning (ML), however ML has also been described as a black box and very hard to understand. Machine Learning, Animated eases you into basic ML concepts and summarizes the learning process in three words: initialize, adjust and repeat. This is illustrated step by step with animation to show how machines learn: from initial parameter values to adjusting each step, to the final converged parameters and predictions. This book teaches readers to create their own neural networks with dense and convolutional layers, and use them to make binary and multi-category classifications. Readers will learn how to build Deep Learning game strategies and combine this with reinforcement learning, witnessing AI achieve super-human performance in Atari games such as Breakout, Space Invaders, Seaquest and Beam Rider. The book provides an intuitive explanation of concepts such as Deep Learning, Q-learning, or the policy-gradient algorithm. You’ll learn how to implement these algorithms by following the examples and how to apply them to your own field, be that business, biology, medicine, or something else entirely. While most models are built by using the TensorFlow Keras API, you also learn to create ML models from scratch on your own, without resorting to any API. This book is divided into six parts. Part I discusses how to install Python and how to create animations with Python libraries.
