This textbook is an introduction to the design and writing of computer programs. It leads the reader through all the stages of program construction from the original specifications through to the final program. The formal verification of intermediate versions of the program is studied in considerable detail. The authors show how, given the formal specification of a program, data structure and program structure diagrams are drawn and then converted into a procedural program in a program design language (PDL). They demonstrate the conversion of PDL into a variety of real programming languages including Pascal, FORTRAN, COBOL, and Assembler. The book also includes chapters on abstract data types, analysing existing programs, and a small case study. First-year undergraduates in computer science and graduates taking courses in computing will find this a comprehensive introduction to program construction.

This is the second volume in the Create, Protect, and Deliver Digital Business Value series. It provides practitioners with detailed guidance on creating a NIST Cybersecurity Framework risk management program using NIST Special Publication 800-53, the DVMS Institute's CPD Model, and existing digital business systems. The outcome is a cyber risk management program and culture fit for use, auditable for purpose, and aligned with global cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and regulations. The key takeaway from this book is that securing digital business value is something every employee is responsible for doing every day. Cybersecurity is an intrinsic aspect of securing that value and must be factored into an organization's digital strategy and culture. A culture of cybersecurity starts at the top of an organization and is translated into strategic policies and training programs which are designed to embed that culture across the whole enterprise and its supply chain. The material in thi

What happens to intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) after their creation has remained in mystery over the years. Although the current globalized outlook has sparked new and growing interests on the role that IGOs play in the global landscape, the scholarship has largely focused on the political aspects of cooperation, primarily on how and why different IGO member states interact with each other and the outcomes associated with such cooperation. Research is yet to untangle how these organizations work and operate. This Element addresses this niche in the literature by delving into two important aspects: the management and governance of IGOs. We build on a four-year research program where we have collected three types of different data and produced several papers. Ultimately, the Element seeks to provide scholars with a description of the inner workings of IGOs, while providing guidance to policymakers on how to manage and govern them.
