Data Mesh is a new approach in sourcing, managing, and accessing data for analytical use cases at scale. Let’s call this class of data, analytical data. Analytical data is used for predictive or diagnostic use cases. It is the foundation for visualizations and reports that provide insights into the business. It is used to train Machine Learning (ML) models that augment the business with data-driven intelligence. It is the essential ingredient for organizations to move from intuition and gut-driven decision-making to taking actions based on observations and data-driven predictions. Analytical data is what powers the software and technology of the future. It enables a technology shift from human-designed rule-based algorithms to data-driven machine-learned models. Analytical data is becoming an increasingly critical component of the technology landscape.

The book Foundations of Data Science for Engineering Problem Solving is envisioned to present the detailed and comprehensive overview of Data Science foundations including Data Science evolution, data collection, preparation, analysis of data using Machine Learning (ML) algorithm, data visualization and how Data Science can make better insights into various use cases in science and engineering. Data collection and preparation is the main part of any data science application which includes data exploration, various types of datasets, their classification based on the sources and types, data preprocessing phases and different tasks involved; web scrapping tools like Beautiful Soap, Scrapy and URLLIB are presented and discussed in the first part of the book. Visualization tools like Tableau, Matplotlib, Looker, Seaborn, PowerBI, IBM Cognos Analytics and their functioning are also discussed in detail in the second part of the book.

Apply the industrial engineering science of invention and assembly to how software is described, planned, and built, thus allowing you to be free to flex your practices according to your needs, putting principle over habit and rules. Reading about Agile practices is like reading diet advice. Everything sounds unique and good; everything starts with good intentions. Then reality sets in. Organizations adapt their practices, but lose sight of grounding principles. A bias toward ceremonies, metrics, and recipes comes at the expense of efficiently getting the real work done. Managers and developers are incentivized to game the system. Organizational metrics become detached from the reality of what is being delivered and how.

Mobile devices are ubiquitous; therefore, mobile device forensics is absolutely critical. Whether for civil or criminal investigations, being able to extract evidence from a mobile device is essential. This book covers the technical details of mobile devices and transmissions, as well as forensic methods for extracting evidence. There are books on specific issues like Android forensics or iOS forensics, but there is not currently a book that covers all the topics covered in this book. Furthermore, it is such a critical skill that mobile device forensics is the most common topic the Author is asked to teach to law enforcement. This is a niche that is not being adequately filled with current titles.

This textbook presents the essential tools and core concepts of data science to public officials, policy analysts, and economists among others in order to further their application in the public sector. An expansion of the quantitative economics frameworks presented in policy and business schools, this book emphasizes the process of asking relevant questions to inform public policy. Its techniques and approaches emphasize data-driven practices, beginning with the basic programming paradigms that occupy the majority of an analyst’s time and advancing to the practical applications of statistical learning and Machine Learning. The text considers two divergent, competing perspectives to support its applications, incorporating techniques from both causal inference and prediction. Additionally, the book includes open-sourced data as well as live code, written in R and presented in notebook form, which readers can use and modify to practice working with data.

Fuzzy Intelligent Systems: Methodologies, Techniques and Applications comprises state-of-the-art chapters detailing how expert systems are built and the fuzzy logic resembling human reasoning powering them. Hybrid and neuro-fuzzy intelligent systems are discussed along with Evolutionary and, in particular, Genetic Algorithms. This approach has been extended by using Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms, which can consider multiple conflicting objectives instead of a single one. The book also discusses the hybridization between Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms and Fuzzy Systems which is known as Multiobjective Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems.

Security is usually an afterthought when organizations design microservices for cloud systems. Most companies today are exposed to potential security threats, but their responses are often more reactive than proactive. This leads to unnecessarily complicated systems that are hard to implement and even harder to manage and scale. Author Gaurav Raje shows you how to build highly secure systems on AWS without increasing overhead. Through this book, I hope to spread the knowledge of how security professionals and developers can work together to increase the value of enterprise applications. This book tries its best to come up with innovative solutions to security problems where security can be implemented through efficient design and simple solutions, and by leveraging the tools that AWS provides us.
