      Full-Stack Development from the Ground Up: Principles, Practices, and Technologies addresses the growing need for a comprehensive upper-division computer science textbook that provides in-depth treatment of full-stack web development using the modern web development technologies that students are likely to encounter in industry. Professional full-stack web developers who are capable of developing both the front-end user interfaces and back-end databases and services for dynamic websites are in high demand. The book begins by laying a foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript—the building blocks of client-side web development.It then explores one particular web development stack in detail: MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express.js, React.js and Node.js. Together, these four technologies provide powerful support for full-stack web development in a single programming language—JavaScript. The crucial final step in the web development process is deploying apps to a server, so users can interact with them. This book simplifies deployment by focusing on just one web deployment environment: Amazon Web Services (AWS), and only those AWS tools that are absolutely necessary to deploy MERN applications.

      Antivirus Engines: From Methods to Innovations, Design, and Applications offers an in-depth exploration of the core techniques employed in modern antivirus software. It provides a thorough technical analysis of detection methods, algorithms, and integration strategies essential for the development and enhancement of antivirus solutions. The examples provided are written in Python, showcasing foundational, native implementations of key concepts, allowing readers to gain practical experience with the underlying mechanisms of antivirus technology.The text covers a wide array of scanning techniques, including heuristic and smart scanners, hexadecimal inspection, and cryptographic hash functions such as MD5 and SHA for file integrity verification. These implementations highlight the crucial role of various scanning engines, from signature-based detection to more advanced models like behavioral analysis and heuristic algorithms. Each chapter provides clear technical examples, demonstrating the integration of modules and methods required for a comprehensive antivirus system, addressing both common and evolving threats.Beyond simple virus detection, the content illustrates how polymorphic malware, ransomware, and state-sponsored attacks are tackled using multi-layered approaches. Through these examples, students, researchers, and security professionals gain practical insight into the operation of antivirus engines, enhancing their ability to design or improve security solutions in a rapidly changing threat environment.

      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.

      For more than a decade, researchers and engineers have been addressing the problem of the application of formal description techniques to protocol specification, implementation, testing and verification. This book identifies the many successes that have been achieved within the industrial framework and the difficulties encountered in applying theoretical methods to practical situations.Issues discussed include: testing and certification; verification; validation; environments and automated tools; formal specifications; protocol conversion; implementation; specification languages and models.Consideration is also given to the concerns surrounding education available to students and the need to upgrade and develop this through sponsorship of a study of an appropriate curriculum at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It is hoped this publication will stimulate such support and inspire further research in this important arena.
