Agility and innovation are necessary to achieve global excellence and customer value in twenty-first century business; yet most approaches to business process engineering sacrifice these in favor of operational efficiency and economics. Moreover, the IT systems used to automate and encapsulate business processes are unresponsive to the dynamic business environment. Mitra and Gupta provide insight to close this gap - showing how innovation can be systematized with normalized patterns of information, how business processes and information systems may be tightly aligned, and how these processes and systems can be designed to automatically adapt to change by reconfiguring shared patterns of knowledge. A modular approach to building business systems that parallels that of object oriented software is presented. Practical templates required for accelerating integration, analysis and design are provided. This book will appeal to consultants, analysts, and managers in IT as well as researchers

As control systems become increasingly complex, there is a growing need for software tools for use in their design and implementation. Introducing proven, free-to-use software from the NIST's real-tim

[名家名著] 37 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版：掌握軟體開發中的錯誤、取捨與關鍵決策 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions ❝Teddy長期研究Pattern Language，有一個很深的體會：每一個設計決策，都只是「局部的回應」。真正困難的，是把這些局部組織成一個和諧的整體。 AI可以提供大量「局部解法」，但整合這些解法需要的，是對「這個團隊、這個市場、這個時間點」的情境理解。這種情境沒辦法完全寫成規格書，因為它牽涉到人的能力邊界、組織的演進節奏、技術債的承受極限。這些東西每個專案都不一樣，而且會隨時間改變。這不是AI的context window再怎麼變大就能解決的問題。 要看見整體，不能只盯著零件。AI幫你把門檻拉低之後，真正稀缺的能力，是在眾多可能性之中，做出有脈絡、能長期承擔的選擇。不是盲目的節制，而是清楚知道代價之後，有意識地決定扛下哪些、放掉哪些。 如果鄉民們希望自己在AI時代，不只是會下提示詞的PM，而是能為系統負責的架構師，那麼這本書值得細細品味。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝在軟體工程的實務現場，幾乎沒有哪一個決策是「免費」的。每一次選擇某種架構、某種設計模式、某種API風格，或某種錯誤處理策略，實際上都意味著放棄其他可能性。這些放棄，往往不會在當下立即顯現代價，而是潛伏在未來的維護成本、效能瓶頸、擴充困難、組織協作摩擦與技術債之中。 《Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版》所關注的，正是這些在實際上線系統（production systems）中反覆出現的取捨問題。本書並不試圖建立一套抽象理論，而是從具體情境出發：在特定背景、限制與壓力之下，團隊如何做出選擇？有哪些替代方案？當時忽略了什麼？哪些後果在事後才浮現？哪些判斷其實是合理的，只是代價延後到未來？ 這樣的視角，使本書成為一本極具實務厚度的工程決策紀錄。❞ ────博碩文化資深編輯與翻譯　盧國鳳 ❝真希望我能在職涯更早期就讀到這本書。書中濃縮了許多從實務中得來的寶貴經驗。❞ ────Dave Corun，Avanade ❝清楚而精準地總結了多年軟體工程實務的精華，新手與老手都值

Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can't replicate in AI systems. How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can't effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-yea

A novel dialogue between Buddhism and Western psychology, grounded in original Pali texts. As mindfulness and meditation become mainstream therapeutic tools, their deep Buddhist roots are often stripped away and limit their effectiveness for clients from Buddhist cultural backgrounds. Early Buddhist Teachings: A Theoretical Foundation for Counseling restores these practices to their original context, offering a culturally congruent counseling model grounded in Pali scriptures and core Buddhist principles. This informative volume explores key Buddhist concepts including dependent co-arising, non-self, and impermanence, and places them in conversation with Western psychological theories. Supplemented with practical assessment tools and intervention techniques, this work provides mental health professionals with a new framework for integrating Buddhist teachings into counseling. For therapists, students, and counselors seeking to expand their approach, Early Buddhist Teachings offers a vi

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR.

National Book Award finalist Elizabeth Partridge reveals the life and work of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, the United States Capitol building's landscape, and more. Nobody could get Frederick Law Olmsted to sit still. He was filled with energy, adventure, and dreams of changing the world. As a boy, he found refuge in the peace and calm of nature, and later as an adult, he dreamed of designing and creating access to parks for a growing and changing America. When New York City held a contest for the best park design for what would become Central Park, Olmsted won and became the father of landscape architecture. He went on to design parks across America, including Yosemite National Park and even the grounds for the United States Capitol. This scenic biography is lavishly illustrated by Becca Stadtlander, and National Book Award finalist Elizabeth Partridge brings her renowned lyricism and meticulous research to the visionary who brought parks to the people.

Modern power and energy systems are characterized by the wide integration of distributed generation, storage and electric vehicles, adoption of ICT solutions, and interconnection of different energy carriers and consumer engagement, posing new challenges and creating new opportunities. Advanced testing and validation methods are needed to efficiently validate power equipment and controls in the contemporary complex environment and support the transition to a cleaner and sustainable energy system. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation has proven to be an effective method for validating and de-risking power system equipment in highly realistic, flexible, and repeatable conditions. Controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) and power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) are the two main HIL simulation methods used in industry and academia that contribute to system-level testing enhancement by exploiting the flexibility of digital simulations in testing actual controllers and power equipment.
