「將流程自動化視為成熟的軟體開發方法和架構之延伸，為該領域注入了一股非常受歡迎的清新氣息。」 ―Gregor Hohpe 《Enterprise Integration Patterns》和《The Software Architect Elevator》作者 「Bernd以其豐富經驗展示如何應用流程自動化模型、方法及工具來馴服微服務和雲端原生架構的複雜性。」 ―Richard Tarling 高盛集團(Goldman Sachs)數位化暨工作流工程聯合主管 「每位架構師的書架上都應該有這本書。」 ―Randy Shoup eBay公司工程副總裁暨首席架構師 在當今的IT架構中，微服務和無伺服器函式在流程自動化中發揮著越來越重要的作用。但是，當各個元件在設計上就是分離且獨立的之時，你要如何創造有意義、全面且彼此連接的業務解決方案呢？又如何處理由於系統是分散式的、非同步的且反應式的而產生的長時間互動呢？ 本書提出了一個框架，幫助開發人員和架構師設計並自動化複雜的流程。透過範例、實務建議和使用案例，作者Bernd Ruecker示範了如何運用工作流程引擎等流程自動化技術來協調軟體、人類、決策或機器人。 ‧了解現代的流程自動化與業務流程管理、服務導向架構、批次處理、事件串流和資料管線解決方案的比較 ‧了解如何使用工作流程引擎和BPMN可執行的流程模型 ‧探索在雲端原生場景中大規模使用流程自動化的方法 ‧探索有利於流程自動化的架構設計選項 ‧了解協調和編排之間的區別，以及如何平衡兩者

How do we make sense of complex evidence? What are the cognitive principles that allow detectives to solve crimes, and lay people to puzzle out everyday problems? To address these questions, David Lagnado presents a novel perspective on human reasoning. At heart, we are causal thinkers driven to explain the myriad ways in which people behave and interact. We build mental models of the world, enabling us to infer patterns of cause and effect, linking words to deeds, actions to effects, and crimes to evidence. But building models is not enough; we need to evaluate these models against evidence, and we often struggle with this task. We have a knack for explaining, but less skill at evaluating. Fortunately, we can improve our reasoning by reflecting on inferential practices and using formal tools. This book presents a system of rational inference that helps us evaluate our models and make sounder judgments.

Ethnic riots are a costly and all too common occurrence during political transitions in multi-ethnic settings. Why do ethnic riots occur in certain parts of a country and not others? How does violence eventually decline? Drawing on rich case studies and quantitative evidence from Indonesia between 1990 and 2012, this book argues that patterns of ethnic rioting are not inevitably driven by inter-group animosity, weakness of state capacity, or local demographic composition. Rather, local ethnic elites strategically use violence to leverage their demands for political inclusion during political transition and that violence eventually declines as these demands are accommodated. Toha breaks new ground in showing that particular political reforms―increased political competition, direct local elections, and local administrative units partitioning―in ethnically diverse contexts can ameliorate political exclusion and reduce overall levels of violence between groups.

This introductory overview explores the methods, models and interdisciplinary links of artificial economics, a new way of doing economics in which the interactions of artificial economic agents are computationally simulated to study their individual and group behavior patterns. Conceptually and intuitively, and with simple examples, Mercado addresses the differences between the basic assumptions and methods of artificial economics and those of mainstream economics. He goes on to explore various disciplines from which the concepts and methods of artificial economics originate; for example cognitive science, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, evolutionary science and complexity science. Introductory discussions on several controversial issues are offered, such as the application of the concepts of evolution and complexity in economics and the relationship between artificial intelligence and the philosophies of mind. This is one of the first books to fully address artificial economics

Today, more than ever, building software is hard. Not only we have to chase ever-changing technological trends, but we also have to grasp business domains that we are building the software for. The latter is often overseen, and it explains why so many projects are doomed to fail. After all, how can you build a solution if you don't understand the problem?Through this book, you will learn the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) methodology which provides a set of core patterns, principles, and practices for analyzing business domains, understanding business strategy, and, most importantly, aligning software design with its business needs. These include Ubiquitous Language, Bounded Contexts, Event Storming, and others. You will see how these practices not only lead to robust implementation of business logic, but also to future-proof software design and architecture. You will also learn the relationship between DDD and other methodologies to ensure that you are able to make architectural decisions
