Operating Systems and Middleware
The scenario describes a user sitting down at a computer to check email. One of the messages includes an attached document to be edited. The user clicks the attachment, and it opens in another window. After starting to edit the document, the user realizes they need to leave for a trip. They save the document in its partially edited state and shut d
Architecting for Scale, 2nd Edition
Every day, companies struggle to scale critical applications. As traffic volume and data demands increase, these applications become more complicated and brittle, exposing risks and compromising availability. With the popularity of software as a service, scaling has never been more important. Updated with an expanded focus on modern architecture pa

It is divided into four parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including
Evidence-based Software Engineering
This book discusses what is currently known about software engineering based on an analysis of all publicly available software engineering data. This aim is not as ambitious as it sounds because there is not a lot of data publicly available. The analysis is like a join-the-dots puzzle, except that the 600+ dots are not numbered, some of them are ac
An Introduction to Machine Learning Interpretability
Innovation and competition are driving analysts and data scientists toward increasingly complex predictive modeling and machine learning algorithms. This complexity makes these models accurate but also makes their predictions difficult to understand. When accuracy outpaces interpretability, human trust suffers, affecting business adoption, regulato
