This book offers a systematic, ten-step approach, from the decision to validate to the assessment of the validation outcome, for validating configurable off-the-shelf (COTS) computer software that generates data or controls information about products and processes subject to binding regulations. COTS software validation often is a time-consuming process in which a great deal of effort is spent determining the necessary validation tasks and the content and format of the validation documents.This book provides the templates and explains how to get from start to "go live" in the most time-efficient way. It is a tool to help industry professionals effectively validate the systems they need to move their businesses forward. This book comes with CD that provides with templates.

Visual, interactive, and engaging projects are the hallmark of this innovative book that marks a rapid departure from traditional computer science texts. Programming in Visual C++: Concepts and Projects uses a graphical user interface (GUI) approach instead of the traditional console (plan text) mode, to provide a thorough introduction to computer science and C++ concepts that is highly visual and enjoyable for the reader. Because Visual C++ no longer requires advanced skills to produce GUIs, even beginning readers are able to produce attractive and functional GUIs within the first few chapters. Coverage includes a comprehensive introduction to programming basics, including control and data structures, as well as object-oriented programming. Straightforward and easy to understand, this is a valuable resource for anyone interested in a computer science book that is as fun as it is informative

Building upon the fundamental principles of decision theory, Decision-Based Design: Integrating Consumer Preferences into Engineering Design presents an analytical approach to enterprise-driven Decision-Based Design (DBD) as a rigorous framework for decision making in engineering design. Once the related fundamentals of decision theory, economic analysis, and econometrics modelling are established, the remaining chapters describe the entire process, the associated analytical techniques, and the design case studies for integrating consumer preference modeling into the enterprise-driven DBD framework.Methods for identifying key attributes, optimal design of human appraisal experiments, data collection, data analysis, and demand model estimation are presented and illustrated using engineering design case studies. The scope of the chapters also provides:A rigorous framework of integrating the interests from both producer and consumers in engineering design,Analytical techniques of consumer choice modelling to forecast the impact of engineering decisions,Methods for synthesizing business and engineering models in multidisciplinary design environments, andExamples of effective application of Decision-Based Design supported by case studies.No matter whether you are an engineer facing decisions in consumer related product design, an instructor or student of engineering design, or a researcher exploring the role of decision making and consumer choice modelling in design, Decision-Based Design: Integrating Consumer Preferences into Engineering Design provides a reliable reference over a range of key topics.

S is a high-level language for manipulating, analysing and displaying data. It forms the basis of two highly acclaimed and widely used data analysis software systems, the commercial S-PLUS and the OpenSource R. This book provides an in-depth guide to writing software in the S language under either or both of those systems. It is intended for readers who have some acquaintance with the S language and want to know how to use it more effectively, for example to build re-usable tools for streamlining routine data analysis or to implement new statistical methods.One of the outstanding strengths of the S language is the ease with which it can be extended by users. S is a functional language, and functions written by users are first-class objects treated in the same way as functions provided by the system. S code is eminently readable and so a good way to document precisely what algorithms were used, and as much of the implementations are themselves written in S, they can be studied as models and to understand their subtleties.The current implementations also provide easy ways for S functions to call compiled code written in C, Fortran and similar languages; this is documented here in depth.Increasingly S is being used for statistical or graphical analysis within larger software systems or for whole vertical-market applications.The interface facilities are most developed on windows and these are covered with worked examples. The authors have written the widely used "Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS", now in its third edition, and several software libraries that enhance S-PLUS and R; these and the examples used in both books are available on the Internet.Dr. W.N. Venables is a senior Statistician with the CSIRO/CMIS Environmetrics Project in Australia, having been at the Department of statistics, University of Adelaide for many years previously. Professor B.D. Ripley holds the Chair of Applied Statistics at the university of Oxford, and is the author of four other books on spatial statistics, simulation, pattern recognition and neural networks.Both authors are known and respected throughout the international S and R communities, for their books, workshops, short courses, freely available software and through their extensive contributions to the S-news and R mailing lists.
