FinTech The Technology Driving Disruption in the Financial Services Industry

FinTech The Technology Driving Disruption in the Financial Services Industry

Everything that we know about the world of finance is changing before us. Innovation is happening constantly despite the protests of the traditional financial industry. With all the new technology that we have today it is almost mind-blowing to think about the kind of technology that we will have in another ten years or so. The change is going to keep coming the only thing we can do is get on board with it. This book introduces the basics of FinTech and equips readers with the knowledge to get on the cutting edge of age we live in today. | FinTech The Technology Driving Disruption in the Financial Services Industry

This bookAnalyzes current research and development in the domains of IoT and big data analyticsGives an overview of latest trends and transitions happening in the IoT data analytics spaceIllustrates the various platforms processes patterns and practices for simplifying and streamlining IoT data analytics The Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics: Integrated Platforms and Industry Use Cases examines and accentuates how the multiple challenges at the cusp of IoT and big data can be fully met. The device ecosystem is growing steadily. It is forecast that there will be billions of connected devices in the years to come. When these IoT devices resource-constrained as well as resource-intensive interact with one another locally and remotely the amount of multi-structured data generated collected and stored is bound to grow exponentially. Another prominent trend is the integration of IoT devices with cloud-based applications services infrastructures middleware solutions and databases. This book examines the pioneering technologies and tools emerging and evolving in order to collect pre-process store process and analyze data heaps in order to disentangle actionable insights. | The Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics Integrated Platforms and Industry Use Cases

Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems

Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems

Solid requirements engineering has increasingly been recognized as the key to improved on-time and on-budget delivery of software and systems projects. New software tools are emerging that are empowering practicing engineers to improve their requirements engineering habits. However these tools are not usually easy to use without significant training. Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems Fourth Edition is intended to provide a comprehensive treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of discovering analyzing modeling validating testing and writing requirements for systems of all kinds with an intentional focus on software-intensive systems. It brings into play a variety of formal methods social models and modern requirements writing techniques to be useful to practicing engineers. The book is intended for professional software engineers systems engineers and senior and graduate students of software or systems engineering. Since the first edition there have been made many changes and improvements to this textbook. Feedback from instructors students and corporate users was used to correct expand and improve the materials. The fourth edition features two newly added chapters: On Non-Functional Requirements and Requirements Engineering: Road Map to the Future. The latter provides a discussion on the relationship between requirements engineering and such emerging and disruptive technologies as Internet of Things Cloud Computing Blockchain Artificial Intelligence and Affective Computing. All chapters of the book were significantly expanded with new materials that keep the book relevant to current industrial practices. Readers will find expanded discussions on new elicitation techniques agile approaches (e. g. Kanpan SAFe and DEVOps) requirements tools requirements representation risk management approaches and functional size measurement methods. The fourth edition also has significant additions of vignettes exercises and references. Another new feature is scannable QR codes linked to sites containing updates tools videos and discussion forums to keep readers current with the dynamic field of requirements engineering.

Leading Megaprojects A Tailored Approach

Leading Megaprojects A Tailored Approach

The performance of megaprojects is questionable and a large percentage of them fail in one dimension or another. The challenges that contribute to these failures are known. Then why do these projects still fail at a high rate? Leading Megaprojects: A Tailored Approach examines the challenges facing megaprojects and more importantly successes in delivering megaprojects. To close the performance gaps in megaproject deliveries the book presents a customizable model that professionals and organizations can use to increase the chance of successful project delivery. To illustrate the model it uses examples and case studies primarily from capital projects with engineering and construction components. The book also explains how the approach can be applied to all projects regardless of industry or domain. The book emphasizes the role of leadership because it takes the point of view that megaprojects cannot be successful without great leadership due to their massive size complexity number of parties and stakeholders involved and cost among other vital factors. Leaders can define the path for a megaproject to guide seasoned managers and project managers to successful closure. The tailored approach is based on a stage-gate project life cycle model which covers projects from concept to success. However it is not limited to a purist form of traditional project management. It is a tailored methodological approach with an emphasis on leading the work end-to-end at the project level along with the management of every stage of the project. Also it presents the integration of the business product delivery and operations management into a cohesive approach. The book concludes with an in-depth simulation showing how the model is can be tailored to deliver a megaproject successfully. | Leading Megaprojects A Tailored Approach

Extremal Optimization Fundamentals Algorithms and Applications

Extremal Optimization Fundamentals Algorithms and Applications

Extremal Optimization: Fundamentals Algorithms and Applications introduces state-of-the-art extremal optimization (EO) and modified EO (MEO) solutions from fundamentals methodologies and algorithms to applications based on numerous classic publications and the authors’ recent original research results. It promotes the movement of EO from academic study to practical applications. The book covers four aspects beginning with a general review of real-world optimization problems and popular solutions with a focus on computational complexity such as NP-hard and the phase transitions occurring on the search landscape. Next it introduces computational extremal dynamics and its applications in EO from principles mechanisms and algorithms to the experiments on some benchmark problems such as TSP spin glass Max-SAT (maximum satisfiability) and graph partition. It then presents studies on the fundamental features of search dynamics and mechanisms in EO with a focus on self-organized optimization evolutionary probability distribution and structure features (e. g. backbones) which are based on the authors’ recent research results. Finally it discusses applications of EO and MEO in multiobjective optimization systems modeling intelligent control and production scheduling. The authors present the advanced features of EO in solving NP-hard problems through problem formulation algorithms and simulation studies on popular benchmarks and industrial applications. They also focus on the development of MEO and its applications. This book can be used as a reference for graduate students research developers and practical engineers who work on developing optimization solutions for those complex systems with hardness that cannot be solved with mathematical optimization or other computational intelligence such as evolutionary computations. | Extremal Optimization Fundamentals Algorithms and Applications
