Book Synopsissed & awk describes two text processing programs that are mainstays of the UNIX programmer's toolbox. sed is a "stream editor" for editing streams of text that might be too large to edit as a single file, or that might be generated on the fly as part of a larger data processing step. The most common operation done with sed is substitution, replacing one block of text with another. awk is a complete programming language. Unlike many conventional languages, awk is "data driven" -- you specify what kind of data you are interested in and the operations to be performed when that data is found. awk does many things for you, including automatically opening and closing data files, reading records, breaking the records up into fields, and counting the records. While awk provides the features of most conventional programming languages, it also includes some unconventional features, such as extended regular expression matching and associative arrays. sed & awk describes both programs in detail and includes a chapter of example sed and awk scripts. This edition covers features of sed and awk that are mandated by the POSIX standard. This most notably affects awk, where POSIX standardized a new variable, CONVFMT, and new functions, toupper() and tolower(). The CONVFMT variable specifies the conversion format to use when converting numbers to strings (awk used to use OFMT for this purpose). The toupper() and tolower() functions each take a (presumably mixed case) string argument and return a new version of the string with all letters translated to the corresponding case. In addition, this edition covers GNU sed, newly available since the first edition. It also updates the first edition coverage of Bell Labs nawk and GNU awk (gawk), covers mawk, an additional freely available implementation of awk, and briefly discusses three commercial versions of awk, MKS awk, Thompson Automation awk (tawk), and Videosoft (VSAwk).Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisCSP notation has been used extensively for teaching and applying concurrency theory, ever since the publication of the text Communicating Sequential Processes by C.A.R. Hoare in 1985. Both a programming language and a specification language, the theory of CSP helps users to understand concurrent systems, and to decide whether a program meets its specification. As a member of the family of process algebras, the concepts of communication and interaction are presented in an algebraic style. An invaluable reference on the state of the art in CSP, Understanding Concurrent Systems also serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field, in addition to providing material for a number of more advanced courses. A first point of reference for anyone wanting to use CSP or learn about its theory, the book also introduces other views of concurrency, using CSP to model and explain these. The text is fully integrated with CSP-based tools such as FDR, and describes how to create new tools based on FDR. Most of the book relies on no theoretical background other than a basic knowledge of sets and sequences. Sophisticated mathematical arguments are avoided whenever possible. Topics and features: presents a comprehensive introduction to CSP; discusses the latest advances in CSP, covering topics of operational semantics, denotational models, finite observation models and infinite-behaviour models, and algebraic semantics; explores the practical application of CSP, including timed modelling, discrete modelling, parameterised verifications and the state explosion problem, and advanced topics in the use of FDR; examines the ability of CSP to describe and enable reasoning about parallel systems modelled in other paradigms; covers a broad variety of concurrent systems, including combinatorial, timed, priority-based, mobile, shared variable, statecharts, buffered and asynchronous systems; contains exercises and case studies to support the text; supplies further tools and information at the associated website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ucs/. From undergraduate students of computer science in need of an introduction to the area, to researchers and practitioners desiring a more in-depth understanding of theory and practice of concurrent systems, this broad-ranging text/reference is essential reading for anyone interested in Hoare’s CSP.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book is divided into four parts … . Part I is designed for an audience of both undergraduate and graduate computer science students. … Part II is designed for people who are familiar with Part I and have fairly theoretical interests. … Part III is intended for people who … want to be able to use them in a better way, or who are specifically interested in timed systems. Part IV is designed for people who already understand CSP.” (Günther Bauer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1211, 2011)Table of ContentsPart I: A Foundation Course in CSP Building a Simple Sequential Process Understanding CSP Parallel Operators CSP Case Studies Hiding and Renaming Beyond Traces Further Operators Using FDR Part II: Theory Operational Semantics Denotational Semantics and Behavioural Models Finite Observation Models Infinite-behaviour Models The Algebra of CSP Part III: Using CSP Timed Systems 1: tock-CSP Timed Systems 2: Discrete Timed CSP More About FDR State Explosion and Parameterised Verification Part IV: Exploring Concurrency Shared-variable Programs Understanding Shared-variable Concurrency Priority and Mobility

Book SynopsisAs human activities moved to the digital domain, so did all the well-known malicious behaviors including fraud, theft, and other trickery. There is no silver bullet, and each security threat calls for a specific answer. One specific threat is that applications accept malformed inputs, and in many cases it is possible to craft inputs that let an intruder take full control over the target computer system.The nature of systems programming languages lies at the heart of the problem. Rather than rewriting decades of well-tested functionality, this book examines ways to live with the (programming) sins of the past while shoring up security in the most efficient manner possible. We explore a range of different options, each making significant progress towards securing legacy programs from malicious inputs.The solutions explored include enforcement-type defenses, which excludes certain program executions because they never arise during normal operation. Another strand explores the idea of presenting adversaries with a moving target that unpredictably changes its attack surface thanks to randomization. We also cover tandem execution ideas where the compromise of one executing clone causes it to diverge from another thus revealing adversarial activities. The main purpose of this book is to provide readers with some of the most influential works on run-time exploits and defenses. We hope that the material in this book will inspire readers and generate new ideas and paradigms.Table of Contents Preface 1. How Memory Safety Violations Enable Exploitation of Programs 2.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces the concept of software architecture as one of the cornerstones of software in modern cars. Following a historical overview of the evolution of software in modern cars and a discussion of the main challenges driving that evolution, Chapter 2 describes the main architectural styles of automotive software and their use in cars’ software. Chapter 3 details this further by presenting two modern architectural styles, i.e. centralized and federated software architectures. In Chapter 4, readers will find a description of the software development processes used to develop software on the car manufacturers’ side. Chapter 5 then introduces AUTOSAR – an important standard in automotive software. Chapter 6 goes beyond simple architecture and describes the detailed design process for automotive software using Simulink, helping readers to understand how detailed design links to high-level design. The new chapter 7 reports on how machine learning is exploited in automotive software e.g. for image recognition and how both on-board and off-board learning are applied. Next, Chapter 8 presents a method for assessing the quality of the architecture – ATAM (Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method) – and provides a sample assessment, while Chapter 9 presents an alternative way of assessing the architecture, namely by using quantitative measures and indicators. Subsequently Chapter 10 dives deeper into one of the specific properties discussed in Chapter 8 – safety – and details an important standard in that area, the ISO/IEC 26262 norm. Lastly, Chapter 11 presents a set of future trends that are currently emerging and have the potential to shape automotive software engineering in the coming years. This book explores the concept of software architecture for modern cars and is intended for both beginning and advanced software designers. It mainly aims at two different groups of audience – professionals working with automotive software who need to understand concepts related to automotive architectures, and students of software engineering or related fields who need to understand the specifics of automotive software to be able to construct cars or their components. Accordingly, the book also contains a wealth of real-world examples illustrating the concepts discussed and requires no prior background in the automotive domain. Compared to the first edition, besides the two new chapters 3 and 7 there are considerable updates in chapters 5 and 8 especially.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2.

Book SynopsisThe 1980's saw the advent of widespread (and potentially damaging) computer virus infection of both personal computer and mainframe systems. The computer security field has been comparatively slow to react to this emerging situation. It is only over the last two years that a significant body of knowledge on the operation, likely evolution and prevention of computer viruses has developed. A Pathology of Computer Viruses gives a detailed overview of the history of the computer virus and an in-depth technical review of the principles of computer virus and worm operation under DOS, Mac, UNIX and DEC operating systems. David Ferbrache considers the possible extension of the threat to the mainframe systems environment and suggests how the threat can be effectively combatted using an antiviral management plan. The author addresses the latest developments in "stealth" virus operations, specifically the trend for virus authors to adopt extensive camouflage and concealment techniques, which allow viruses to evade both existing anti-viral software and to avoid detection by direct observation of machine behaviour. A Pathology of Computer Viruses addresses a distinct need - that of the computer specialist and professional who needs a source reference work detailing all aspects of the computer virus threat.Table

Book SynopsisThis volume contains the papers selected after a very careful refereeing process for presentation during the Workshop on Job Scheduling Stategies for Parallel Processing, held in Santa Barbara, California, as a prelude to the IPPS '95 conference in April 1995.The 19 full papers presented demonstrate that parallel job scheduling takes on a crucial role as multi-user parallel supercomputers become more widespread. All aspects of job scheduling for parallel systems are covered, from the perspectives of academic research, industrial design of parallel systems, as well as user needs. Of particular interest, also for nonexpert readers, is the introductory paper "Parallel Job Scheduling: Issues and Approaches" by the volume editors.Table of ContentsParallel job scheduling: Issues and approaches.- Scheduling on the Tera MTA.- A scalable multi-discipline, multiple-processor scheduling framework for IRIX.- Scheduling to reduce memory coherence overhead on coarse-grain multiprocessors.- Time Space Sharing Scheduling and architectural support.- Demand-based coscheduling of parallel jobs on multiprogrammed multiprocessors.- Multiprocessor scheduling for high-variability service time distributions.- The interaction between memory allocation and adaptive partitioning in message-passing multicomputers.- Analysis of non-work-conserving processor partitioning policies.- Loop-Level Process Control: An effective processor allocation policy for multiprogrammed shared-memory multiprocessors.- A microeconomic scheduler for parallel computers.- On the benefits and limitations of dynamic partitioning in parallel computer systems.- Intelligent fuzzy control to augment scheduling capabilities of network queuing systems.- Parallel processing on dynamic resources with CARMI.- Job scheduling under the Portable Batch System.- The ANL/IBM SP scheduling system.- Requirements of the Cornell Theory Center for resource management and process scheduling.- Job management requirements for nas parallel systems and clusters.- Job characteristics of a production parallel scientific workload on the NASA Ames iPSC/860.

Book SynopsisIn modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes. The fundamental challenge when developing reliable and secure distributed programs is to support the cooperation of processes required to execute a common task, even when some of these processes fail. Failures may range from crashes to adversarial attacks by malicious processes.Cachin, Guerraoui, and Rodrigues present an introductory description of fundamental distributed programming abstractions together with algorithms to implement them in distributed systems, where processes are subject to crashes and malicious attacks. The authors follow an incremental approach by first introducing basic abstractions in simple distributed environments, before moving to more sophisticated abstractions and more challenging environments. Each core chapter is devoted to one topic, covering reliable broadcast, shared memory, consensus, and extensions of consensus. For every topic, many exercises and their solutions enhance the understanding This book represents the second edition of "Introduction to Reliable Distributed Programming". Its scope has been extended to include security against malicious actions by non-cooperating processes. This important domain has become widely known under the name "Byzantine fault-tolerance".

Book SynopsisAufbau und Funktion des Raspberry Pi werden sachlich und praxisorientiert vorgestellt. Zunächst wird das System in Betrieb gesetzt, um damit eine Grundlage zu schaffen, auf die auch in Problemsituationen zurückgegriffen werden kann. Die Konfigurierung, Optimierung und Programmierung ist von besonderer Bedeutung, weil die gegenüber anderen Architekturen limitierten Ressourcen stets mit zu berücksichtigen sind. Die Schaltungstechnik der verschiedenen Raspberry Pi Boards (A, B, A+, B+, Compute Module) wird ausführlich behandelt. Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt auf der Hardware mit den Schnittstellen (LAN, WLAN, GPIO, seriell SPI, I2C, I2S, One-Wire), die für die Kommunikation und den Datenaustausch mit Sensoren und anderen Einheiten prädestiniert sind. Damit sind optimale und zudem kostengünstige Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Dies beinhaltet den Low Power-Betrieb, wie er insbesondere für akkubetriebene und somit für mobile Anwendungen essenziell ist.Die 3. Auflage wurde überarbeitet, erweitert und auf Raspberry Pi 4 aktualisiert.Table of ContentsEinführung: Entwicklung, Open Source, Modelle im Überblick - Schnellstart: Vorbereitung, anschließen und starten - Hardware: ARM-Architektur, Speicher, Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth - Konfigurierung und Optimierung: Setup, Netzwerke, Mobilfunk, Audio, Video - Software und Programmiergrundlagen: Firmware, Linux, Windows 10 IoTCore, Programmiersprachen - Hardware-Programmierung: GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, One-Wire - Professioneller Einsatz: Low Power-Betrieb, USV, PoE, Compute Module
