Component-Based Software Testing with UML
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 354020864X | edition 2004 | PDF | 328 pages | 14,6 mb
Since building testing into components has implications with component development, built-in contract testing is integrated with and made to complement a model-driven development method. The book describes a method for developing the testing of components in parallel with their functionality based on models. It means UML models are used to derive the testing architecture for an application, the testing interfaces and the component testers. The method also provides a process and guidelines for modeling and developing these artifacts.
The book will also discuss the implications of built-in contract testing with other component-based development technologies such as product-line engineering, middleware platforms, reuse principles etc.

Some Tapas of Computer Algebra
Publisher: Springer | pages: 352 | 1998 | ISBN: 3540634800 | PDF | 14,3 mb
This book arose from a series of courses on computer algebra which were given at Eindhoven Technical University. Its chapters present a variety of topics in computer algebra at an accessible (upper undergraduate/graduate) level with a view towards recent developments. For those wanting to acquaint themselves somewhat further with the material, the book also contains seven 'projects', which could serve as practical sessions related to one or more chapters. The contributions focus on topics like Gröbner bases, real algebraic geometry, Lie algebras, factorisation of polynomials, integer programming, permutation groups, differential equations, coding theory, automatic theorem proving, and polyhedral geometry. This book is a must-read for everybody interested in computer algebra.

Maya Character Creation: Modeling and Animation Controls
Publisher: New Riders Press | ISBN: 0735713448 | edition 2003 | CHM | 384 pages | 10,4 mb
A unique, in-depth approach to creating realistic characters in Maya. Maya Character Creation: Modeling and Animation Controls' author, Chris Maraffi, has expertise in the field and in the classroom that translates to the knowledge and solid teaching skills needed to make this book a "must-have"!
The current trend in computer graphics is greater organic realism. Many of thetop-grossing movies today, such as Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park 3 ,and Star Wars Episode 2, all feature realistic 3D characters. There is a majorneed in the 3D community for educational material that demonstrates detailedtechniques for achieving this organic reality. Maya is one of the main packagesused on such cutting-edge films, and has an established toolset for creatingbelievable 3D characters. Maya Character Creation: Modeling and Animation Controls is designed to take you through the process of designing, modeling, and setting up animation controls for complex 3D characters. The concepts, techniques, and Maya tools used foreach step in the process are presented in each chapter, followed by manyhands-on exercises. NURBS, polygon, and subdivision surface modelingtechniques are shown for creating the character's skin, and skeleton-basedanimation controls are covered in detail. You will learn how a character'sskin should deform when the skeletal joints and muscles move. AdvancedMEL scripted animation controls are also covered extensively.
