To write effective code and applications, software engineers and developers have to be able to frame user/customer needs effectively, capture program requirements and use cases, and then develop suitable software architecture and code to meet the need. Code Chronicles: The Art of Storytelling in Software helps readers write better software by teaching readers how to write stories in the context of software development. The book explains the roots of storytelling, clarifies that storytelling historically has been a very powerful tool used to pass along knowledge, presents where storytelling is already present implicitly in software development, discusses how to make it more effective, and finally present experiences in storytelling from software engineering and other scientific disciplines, to foster a full understanding of its power. The authors comprehensively present the pivotal role of storytelling in writing software, and they explain how to do it in a simple, hands-on approach, also taking advantage of clear case studies written by experts in the field.

Embedded Systems: ARM Programming and Optimization, Second Edition combines an exploration of the ARM architecture with an examination of the facilities offered by the Linux operating system to explain how various features of program design can influence processor performance. The book demonstrates methods by which a programmer can optimize program code in a way that does not impact its behavior but instead improves its performance. Several applications, including image transformations, fractal generation, image convolution, computer vision tasks, and now machine learning are used to describe and demonstrate these methods. From this, the reader will gain insight into computer architecture and application design, as well as practical knowledge in embedded software design for modern embedded systems. The second edition has been expanded to include more topics of interest to upper level undergraduate courses in embedded systems.

Topological UML Modeling: An Improved Approach for Domain Modeling and Software Development presents a specification for Topological UML® that combines the formalism of the Topological Functioning Model (TFM) mathematical topology with a specified software analysis and design method. The analysis of problem domain and design of desired solutions within software development processes has a major impact on the achieved result – developed software. While there are many tools and different techniques to create detailed specifications of the solution, the proper analysis of problem domain functioning is ignored or covered insufficiently. The design of object-oriented software has been led for many years by the Unified Modeling Language (UML®), an approved industry standard modeling notation for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system, and this comprehensive book shines new light on the many advances in the field.
