Engineering Generative AI-Based Software

Engineering Generative AI-Based Software

Miroslaw Staron

ELSEVIER SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
2026
nidottu
Software Engineering professionals now face challenges in incorporating GAI into the products and programs they are developing. At this point, the knowledge about developing AI-based software is mostly based on classical AI, i.e., non-generative ML systems. Developers know how to use machine learning and, to some extent, how to include it in production systems. Engineering Generative-AI Based Software takes software development to the next level by using generative AI instead. Readers learn how to use text, image and audio models as part of larger software systems. The book discusses both the process of developing such software and the architectures for this kind of software, combining theory with practice. Generative AI software is gaining popularity thanks to such models as GPT-4 or Llama. More and more products use them as part of their feature portfolio, but this software is often limited to web applications or recommendation systems. Author Miroslav Staron shows readers how to tackle the challenges of professionally engineering generative AI-based systems. The book starts by reviewing the most relevant models and technologies in this area, both theoretically and practically. Once readers know the technologies, the book goes into details of software engineering practices for such systems, e.g., eliciting functional and non-functional requirements specific to generative AI, various architectural styles and tactics for such systems, and different programming platforms. The book also shows how to create robust licensing models and the technology to support them. Finally, readers learn how to manage data, both during the training and also when generating new data, as well as how to use the generated data and user feedback to constantly evolve generative AI-based software.

Jake White's house is a dump. It's completely jam-packed with everything imaginable, all covered in dirt and grime and home to dozens of cats. Everyone calls it the Garbage House. The mess only seems to be getting bigger as his mother continues to bring more into their already filled home. Jake's future looks just as bleak as the house's. A twenty-year-old stoner drop-out who's been in and out of trouble, he's treading water in the basement of his mother's hoard, and it doesn't look like he'll ever get out. The only thing he's got going for him is a girl named Jezera, a fifteen-year-old who's desperate to escape her home life and is immediately drawn to the chaos and freedom Jake and his house seem to offer. He quickly make's her the focus of his ambition, his reason to think about the future and get his life together.When Jake backslides into the back of a squad car, he's surprised to find help and support from a pro-life group headed by his friend's mother. There he is vividly confronted with the politics and controversy surrounding abortion, a subject he'd been mostly neutral about. That is until his girlfriend becomes pregnant with his child. Jezera wants an abortion, and he's more than heartbroken. . . He wants to stop Jezera from terminating the pregnancy and the future life of his baby. . . at any cost.

The Gift of Love

The Gift of Love

Andrew Staron

Fortress Press,U.S.
2017
sidottu
The Gift of Love builds upon recent scholarship and reads Augustines De Trinitate as a rational study of the limits of theological language and the possibility of knowing the Trinity because of those limits. Marions description of the gift of love offers to Augustines theology a phenomenological texture by which the trinitarian love given might be made incarnate in ones life. The Gift of Love presents a reason for hope that the signification of the Trinity that God is, while impossible for human beings is not impossible for God.

Panzerkrieg

Panzerkrieg

Mike Syron

Robinson Publishing
2003
nidottu
For many people the very image of Blitzkrieg is of massed columns of tanks sweeping through Europe, smashing all resistance and leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. Indeed, it was the Panzers' achievements in battle that were largely responsible for Germany's early run of success in the Second World War and, once the tide of war began to turn against the Reich, the Panzers subsequently became the backbone of its defence. The dramatic story of Hitler's tank divisions is brought to life in this authoritative narrative. Panzerkrieg vividly describes the evolution, exploits and eventual destruction of this superlative fighting force in immensely readable fashion. Particularly accessible to the general reader who wants to know more about Germany's Second World War tank forces, the authors dispense with technical jargon and pedantic detail to give a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the subject, both human and technical. The book gives particular emphasis to the men who fought in and led the Panzer divisions: great generals like Guderian, Rommel and Manstein, tank masters like Wittmann and Bake, and inspired commanders like Balck and Bayerlein.The whole vast canvas of the war emerges from this narrative, as it follows the titanic struggles which ranged between the bocage country of France, the desert wastes of North Africa, and the limitless steppes of Russia. The evolution of German fighting vehicles and tactics is fully charted, and the many myths, fallacies and misconceptions that have grown up around the Panzerwaffe are exploded. Extensive research, reference to the memoirs of the leading participants, and original new conclusions all contribute to a comprehensive account that critically examines the achievements, failures, and ultimate legacy of the Panzer divisions.Features INCLUDE: The secret pre-war birth and development of the PanzerwaffeThe lightning campaigns in Poland and FranceThe four bloody years of the Russian campaign, the greatest clash of arms the world has ever seenThe exploits of Rommel and his Africa CorpsHitler's increasingly disastrous influence on the PanzerwaffeDisputes between the Panzer officers and their High CommandPortraits of the Panzerwaffe's leadersDetailed analysis of the great tank battles such as Kursk and the Battle of the Bulge, with clear mapsComparative rank and organizational chartsInformation on the technical evolution of Germany's armoured fighting vehicles, including the development of the mighty Tigers and PanthersUnique sections on uniforms, crew functions and how German tanks were builtRare coverage of how the Panzer leaders fared after the war The legacy of the Panzers

Software Development Measurement Programs

Software Development Measurement Programs

Miroslaw Staron; Wilhelm Meding

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019

This book seeks to promote the structured, standardized and accurate use of software measurement at all levels of modern software development companies. To do so, it focuses on seven main aspects: sound scientific foundations, cost-efficiency, standardization, value-maximization, flexibility, combining organizational and technical aspects, and seamless technology integration. Further, it supports companies in their journey from manual reporting to automated decision support by combining academic research and industrial practice.When scientists and engineers measure something, they tend to focus on two different things. Scientists focus on the ability of the measurement to quantify whatever is being measured; engineers, however, focus on finding the right qualities of measurement given the designed system (e.g. correctness), the system’s quality of use (e.g. ease of use), and the efficiency of the measurement process. In this book, the authors arguethat both focuses are necessary, and that the two are complementary. Thus, the book is organized as a gradual progression from theories of measurement (yes, you need theories to be successful!) to practical, organizational aspects of maintaining measurement systems (yes, you need the practical side to understand how to be successful).The authors of this book come from academia and industry, where they worked together for the past twelve years. They have worked with both small and large software development organizations, as researchers and as measurement engineers, measurement program leaders and even teachers. They wrote this book to help readers define, implement, deploy and maintain company-wide measurement programs, which consist of a set of measures, indicators and roles that are built around the concept of measurement systems. Based on their experiences introducing over 40,000 measurement systems at over a dozen companies, they share essential tips and tricks on how to do it right and how to avoid common pitfalls.

This book addresses action research (AR), one of the main research methodologies used for academia-industry research collaborations. It elaborates on how to find the right research activities and how to distinguish them from non-significant ones. Further, it details how to glean lessons from the research results, no matter whether they are positive or negative. Lastly, it shows how companies can evolve and build talents while expanding their product portfolio.The book’s structure is based on that of AR projects; it sequentially covers and discusses each phase of the project. Each chapter shares new insights into AR and provides the reader with a better understanding of how to apply it. In addition, each chapter includes a number of practical use cases or examples. Taken together, the chapters cover the entire software lifecycle: from problem diagnosis to project (or action) planning and execution, to documenting and disseminating results, including validity assessments for AR studies.The goal of this book is to help everyone interested in industry-academia collaborations to conduct joint research. It is for students of software engineering who need to learn about how to set up an evaluation, how to run a project, and how to document the results. It is for all academics who aren’t afraid to step out of their comfort zone and enter industry. It is for industrial researchers who know that they want to do more than just develop software blindly. And finally, it is for stakeholders who want to learn how to manage industrial research projects and how to set up guidelines for their own role and expectations.

Automotive Software Architectures

Automotive Software Architectures

Miroslaw Staron

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This book introduces the concept of software architecture as one of the cornerstones of software in modern cars. Following a historical overview of the evolution of software in modern cars and a discussion of the main challenges driving that evolution, Chapter 2 describes the main architectural styles of automotive software and their use in cars’ software. Chapter 3 details this further by presenting two modern architectural styles, i.e. centralized and federated software architectures. In Chapter 4, readers will find a description of the software development processes used to develop software on the car manufacturers’ side. Chapter 5 then introduces AUTOSAR – an important standard in automotive software. Chapter 6 goes beyond simple architecture and describes the detailed design process for automotive software using Simulink, helping readers to understand how detailed design links to high-level design. The new chapter 7 reports on how machine learning is exploited in automotive software e.g. for image recognition and how both on-board and off-board learning are applied. Next, Chapter 8 presents a method for assessing the quality of the architecture – ATAM (Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method) – and provides a sample assessment, while Chapter 9 presents an alternative way of assessing the architecture, namely by using quantitative measures and indicators. Subsequently Chapter 10 dives deeper into one of the specific properties discussed in Chapter 8 – safety – and details an important standard in that area, the ISO/IEC 26262 norm. Lastly, Chapter 11 presents a set of future trends that are currently emerging and have the potential to shape automotive software engineering in the coming years. This book explores the concept of software architecture for modern cars and is intended for both beginning and advanced software designers. It mainly aims at two different groups of audience – professionals working with automotive software who need to understandconcepts related to automotive architectures, and students of software engineering or related fields who need to understand the specifics of automotive software to be able to construct cars or their components. Accordingly, the book also contains a wealth of real-world examples illustrating the concepts discussed and requires no prior background in the automotive domain. Compared to the first edition, besides the two new chapters 3 and 7 there are considerable updates in chapters 5 and 8 especially.

Rehearsal Practices of Indigenous Women Theatre Makers

Rehearsal Practices of Indigenous Women Theatre Makers

Liza-Mare Syron

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This transnational and transcultural study intimately investigates the theatre making practices of Indigenous women playwrights from Australia, Aotearoa, and Turtle Island. It offers a new perspective in Performance Studies employing an Indigenous standpoint, specifically an Indigenous woman’s standpoint to privilege the practices and knowledges of Maori, First Nations, and Aboriginal women playwrights. Written in the style of ethnographic narrative the author affords the reader a ringside seat in providing personal insights on the process of negotiating access to rehearsals in each specific cultural context, detailed descriptions of each rehearsal location, and describing the visceral experiences of observing Indigenous theatre makers from inside the rehearsal room. The Indigenous scholar and theatre maker draws on Rehearsal Studies as an approach to documenting the day-to-day working practices of Indigenous theatre makers and considers an Indigenous Standpoint as a valid framework for investigating contemporary Indigenous theatre practices in a colonised context.
