John Wiley & Sons Inc Software Engineering: An Engineering Approach
Peters and Pedrycz have written the first comprehensive and complete text on a quantitative approach to Software Engineering. This book provides the reader with well-defined and carefully described software practices based on industry standards. It presents practical approaches to specifying, designing and testing software as well as the foundations of Software Engineering. Frameworks, methods and technologies in aid of the activities typically found in software projects, are thoroughly presented. This book includes a complete case study representing all of the major phases in software development.Emphasizing both the design and analysis of the technology, Peters and Pedrycz have created a highly balanced introduction to Software Engineering. This text provides students with a holistic look at software design by encouraging them to view the process as an interplay between hardware and software. The reader will also find the latest information in the field, frequent references to related web sites, a glossary of technical terms and acronyms, and supplementary material at the authors' web site.This text is suitable for a one semester, junior/senior undergraduate course in Software Engineering.

Taylor & Francis Inc Rough Fuzzy Image Analysis: Foundations and Methodologies
Fuzzy sets, near sets, and rough sets are useful and important stepping stones in a variety of approaches to image analysis. These three types of sets and their various hybridizations provide powerful frameworks for image analysis. Emphasizing the utility of fuzzy, near, and rough sets in image analysis, Rough Fuzzy Image Analysis: Foundations and Methodologies introduces the fundamentals and applications in the state of the art of rough fuzzy image analysis. In the first chapter, the distinguished editors explain how fuzzy, near, and rough sets provide the basis for the stages of pictorial pattern recognition: image transformation, feature extraction, and classification. The text then discusses hybrid approaches that combine fuzzy sets and rough sets in image analysis, illustrates how to perform image analysis using only rough sets, and describes tolerance spaces and a perceptual systems approach to image analysis. It also presents a free, downloadable implementation of near sets using the Near Set Evaluation and Recognition (NEAR) system, which visualizes concepts from near set theory. In addition, the book covers an array of applications, particularly in medical imaging involving breast cancer diagnosis, laryngeal pathology diagnosis, and brain MR segmentation.Edited by two leading researchers and with contributions from some of the best in the field, this volume fully reflects the diversity and richness of rough fuzzy image analysis. It deftly examines the underlying set theories as well as the diverse methods and applications.
