Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a manager overseeing direct support? Are you new to the field or presently a Direct Support Professional looking for answers? Then this is the book for you! DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT can help you answer the frequent how-to questions of direct support. Unlike other "working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities" and "introduction to disabilities" texts, DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT offers a different approach because it: ? Explains the how-to of direct support, providing you understanding of routines, of dealing with challenges arising from individual uniqueness, and of an easy-to-master art of engagement in a way that makes practical application possible. ? Demonstrates ways of developing and delivering individualized staff actions, and applying the Opportunity Approach to understand and empower the person served. ? Tackles the harder questions of the capacity-preference disparities, providing you with navigation techniques and the golden rule of deriving preferences. ? Makes it easier to appreciate working with any given direct support situation by providing you ways to initiate and maintain direct interaction through stimulations and opportunity leads. Most other books on "tools and approach" to the field of disabilities only provide general advice. on the other hand, subject specific references offer only policy-centric interpretation of the direct support process, but fail to explain the overall context of what transpires on the ground or provide a problem-solving process. DIRECT SUPPORT from A MANAGER'S VIEWPOINT does all three--it provides the context, the process, and the problem. Written by a manager who grew through the ranks of direct support, this book is an invaluable guide to what really works in direct support. "I had always wondered how my child was being supported by Direct Support Staff until I read this book, and indeed Amara captures the nuts and bolts of the direct support process in the most practical and realistic manner that I have ever encountered. the approaches in the book are structured in a way that affords a seamless understanding of what Direct Support entails. the book left me with a clear sense of knowledge of what Direct Supporters do. As a parent of a child that is a recipient of Direct Support and will be a recipient of it as she progresses in life, I found a sense of comfort in knowing that a manual of this nature may be available to those who choose this noble profession." ---Yuvania J. Espino, Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Harlem Hospital Center, New York, NY. "Direct Support from a Manager's Viewpoint is exactly the resource that I have been searching for all along. This book accomplished a lot in terms of the transferable knowledge that fills each page; the practical relevance of the tools and approaches cannot be understated. I have immediately incorporated some of the information into my staff trainings." --- Raye T. McCollum, Quality Improvement Director, Southeast Bronx Neighborhood Centers, Inc., Bronx, NY "The depth of knowledge and passion put into this book beams out of each page; the way the content is structured is one of its greatest strengths in terms of the manner in which it exemplifies the everyday direct support situations and challenges through scenarios and then provides a very solid tool set that can be used by the DSP to work through the issues. Additionally, the use of graphics to explain the approaches helps make the book more practical. In short, this book is the clearest and most detailed description of the work a DSP must do and the considerations that must be given to that work that I have ever read in 20 years in the field." ---Lore Barcelona, Day Habilitation Coordinator, Sinergia, Inc., New York, NY

This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data-intensive systems are software applications that process and generate Big Data. Data-intensive systems support the use of large amounts of data strategically and efficiently to provide intelligence. For example, examining industrial sensor data or business process data can enhance production, guide proactive improvements of development processes, or optimize supply chain systems. Designing data-intensive software systems is difficult because distribution of knowledge across stakeholders creates a symmetry of ignorance, because a shared vision of the future requires the development of new knowledge that extends and synthesizes existing knowledge. Knowledge Management in the Development of Data-Intensive Systems addresses new challenges arising from knowledge management in the development of data-intensive software systems. These challenges concern requirements, architectural design, detailed design, implementation and maintenance. The book covers the current state and future directions of knowledge management in development of data-intensive software systems. The book features both academic and industrial contributions which discuss the role software engineering can play for addressing challenges that confront developing, maintaining and evolving systems;data-intensive software systems of cloud and mobile services; and the scalability requirements they imply. The book features software engineering approaches that can efficiently deal with data-intensive systems as well as applications and use cases benefiting from data-intensive systems. Providing a comprehensive reference on the notion of data-intensive systems from a technical and non-technical perspective, the book focuses uniquely on software engineering and knowledge management in the design and maintenance of data-intensive systems. The book covers constructing, deploying, and maintaining high quality software products and software engineering in and for dynamic and flexible environments. This book provides a holistic guide for those who need to understand the impact of variability on all aspects of the software life cycle. It leverages practical experience and evidence to look ahead at the challenges faced by organizations in a fast-moving world with increasingly fast-changing customer requirements and expectations.

Book excerpt: Information system architecture (ISA) specification as a part of software engineering field has been an information systems research topic since the 60's of the 20th century. There have been manifold specification methodologies over the recent decades, developed newly or adapted in order to target the domains of software modelling, legacy systems, steel production, and automotive safety. Still, there exist considerable issues constituting the need for a flexible ISA development, e.g. incomplete methodology for requirements in model-driven architectures, lacking qualitative methods for thorough definition and usage of viewpoints. Currently existing methods for information system architecture specification usually de- vise the target architectures either addressing only a part of software life-cycles or neglect- ing less structured information. The method for flexible information system architectures (FISA) specification uses the viewpoint concept for mediating the domain expert and technical system levels. The FISA-method defines construction and application reference models based on the ANSI/IEEE Standard 1471-2000, viewpoints with model transfor- mations based on OMG-Standard Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), and four different approaches for ISA specification, thus providing for flexibility both in construction and refactoring procedures. The development of FISA-method has been based on a thorough analysis of the ISA specification method field and constructs a comprehensive procedure and reference engi- neering models for flexible ISA specification. The genericity of the conceived construction and application procedure models of FISA allows for its usage not only in research, but also in industry settings, as presented on illustrative scenarios in steel manufacturing and automotive safety.

Book excerpt: This proceedings contains some of the papers presented at the Business Object and Implementation Workshops held at OOPSLA'96, OOPSLA'97 and OOPSLA'98. The main theme of the workshops is to document the evolution of business objects, from ~any perspectives, including modelling, implementation, standards and applications. The 1996 workshop intended to clarify the specification, design, and implementation of interoperable, plug and play, distributed business object components and their suitability for delivery of enterprise applications; and to assess the impact of the WWW and, more specifically, the Intranet on the design and implementation of business object components. The main focus of the workshop was: What design patterns will allow implementation of business objects as plug and play components? How can these components be assembled into domain specific frameworks? What are the appropriate architectures/mechanisms as distributed object systems? What for implementing these frameworks organisational and development process issues need to be addressed to successfully deliver these systems? Is this approach an effective means for deploying enterprise application solutions? The third annual workshop (OOPSLA'97) was jointly sponsored by the Accredited Standards Committee X3H7 Object Information Management Technical Committee and the Object Management Group (OMG) Business Object Domain Task Force (BODTF) for the purpose of soliciting technical position papers relevant to the design and implementation of Business Object Systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, a trend towards formal undeIStanding and knowledge-based assistance for the development and maintenance of database-intensive information systems became apparent. The group of John Mylopoulos at the UniveISity of Toronto and their European collaboratoIS moved from semantic models of information systems design (Taxis project) towards earlier stages of the software lifecycle. Joachim Schmidt's group at the University of Hamburg completed their early work on the design and implementation of database programming languages (Pascal/R) and began to consider tools for the development of large database program packages. The Belgian company BIM developed a fast commercial Prolog which turned out to be useful as an implementation language for object oriented knowledge representation schemes and as a prototyping tool for formal design models. Case studies by Vasant Dhar and Matthias Jarke in New York pointed out the need for formally representing process knowledge, and a number of projects in the US and Europe began to consider computer assistance (CASE) as a viable approach to support software engineering. In 1985, the time appeared ripe for an attempt at integrating these experiences in a comprehensive CASE framework relating all phases of an information systems lifecycle. The Commission of the European Communities decided in early 1986 to fund this joint effort by six European software houses and research institutions in the Software Technology section of the ESPRIT I program. The project was given the number 892 and the title DAIDA - Development Assistance for Intelligent Database Applications.

This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intelligent transportation system (ITS) offers considerable opportunities for increasing the safety, efficiency, and predictability of traffic flow and reducing vehicle emissions. Sensors (or detectors) enable the effective gathering of arterial and controlled-access highway information in support of automatic incident detection, active transportation and demand management, traffic-adaptive signal control, and ramp and freeway metering and dispatching of emergency response providers. As traffic flow sensors are integrated with big data sources such as connected and cooperative vehicles, and cell phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, more accurate and timely traffic flow information can be obtained. The book examines the roles of traffic management centers that serve cities, counties, and other regions, and the collocation issues that ensue when multiple agencies share the same space. It describes sensor applications and data requirements for several ITS strategies; sensor technologies; sensor installation, initialization, and field-testing procedures; and alternate sources of traffic flow data. The book addresses concerns related to the introduction of automated and connected vehicles, and the benefits that systems engineering and national ITS architectures in the US, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere bring to ITS. Sensor and data fusion benefits to traffic management are described, while the Bayesian and Dempster–Shafer approaches to data fusion are discussed in more detail. ITS Sensors and Architectures for Traffic Management and Connected Vehicles suits the needs of personnel in transportation institutes and highway agencies, and students in undergraduate or graduate transportation engineering courses.
