This is an authoritative yet highly accessible guide to the design and operation of the FlexRay bus, the latest protocol for automotive network communications. A translation of the French edition, originally published in January 2011, this work is the result of numerous training courses that Dominique Paret has given in companies, and it provides detailed explanations of the design and operation of the FlexRay bus. Comprised of five parts, the book covers: the FlexRay concept and its communication protocol; the FlexRay physical layer; synchronization and global time; architecture of a node; and, components and development aid tools for hardware and software. This title provides comprehensive treatment of the FlexRay network, including its implementat...

Data Science and Machine Learning are in high demand, as customers are increasingly looking for ways to glean insights from all their data. More customers now realize that Business Intelligence is not enough as the volume, speed and complexity of data now defy traditional analytics tools. While Business Intelligence addresses descriptive and diagnostic analysis, Data Science unlocks new opportunities through predictive and prescriptive analysis. The purpose of this book is to provide a gentle and instructionally organized introduction to the field of data science and machine learning, with a focus on building and deploying predictive models. The book also provides a thorough overview of the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning service using task oriented...

In the contract development process, as in any development process, clients, customers, and managers have a vested interest in meeting time, budget, and performance requirements. In Agile Contracts , the authors tackle these concerns head on, presenting an agile contract that they have developed, which reduces the risk for the both supplier and the customer. This highly useful book compares and contrasts the new, agile contract with existing fixed-price or time-and-material contracts and clearly demonstrates how Agile/Scrum can be applied to the contract negotiation process....

This book presents a new FPGA architecture known as tree-based FPGA architecture, due to its hierarchical nature. This type of architecture has been relatively unexplored despite their better performance and predictable routing behavior, as compared to mesh-based FPGA architectures. In this book, we explore and optimize the tree-based architecture and we evaluate it by comparing it to equivalent mesh-based FPGA architectures....
