Book Description
Why another book on software project management? For some time, the fields of project management, computer science, and software development have been growing rapidly and concurrently. Effective support for the enterprise demands the merging of these efforts into a coordinated discipline, one that incorporates best practices from both systems development and project management life cycles. Robert K. Wysocki creates that discipline in this book--a ready reference for professionals and consultants as well as a textbook for students of computer information systems and project management. By their very nature, software projects defy a "one size fits all" approach. In these pages you will learn to apply best-practice principles while maintaining the flexibility that's essential for successful software development. Learn how to make the planning process fit the need * Understand how and why software development must be planned on a certainty-to-uncertainty continuum * Categorize your projects on a four-quadrant model * Learn when to use each of the five SDPM strategies--Linear, Incremental, Iterative, Adaptive, and Extreme * Explore the benefits of each strategic model and what types of projects it supports best * Recognize the activities that go into the Scoping, Planning, Launching, Monitoring/Controlling, and Closing phases of each strategy * Apply this knowledge to the specific projects you manage * Get a clear picture of where you are and how to get where you want to go

Book Description
IT'S OFFICIAL: excessive "internetting," smartphoning, and social media make us miserable. But it doesn't have to be that way. Over the last decade, recognized journalist Blake Snow rigorously researched, tested, and developed several connectivity strategies for finding offline balance in an online world, which resulted in this, his first book. In Log Off: How to Stay Connected after Disconnecting, Snow passionately, succinctly, and sometimes humorously explains how to hit refresh for good, do more with less online, live large on low-caloric technology, increase facetime with actual people, outperform workaholics in half the time, and tunefully blend both analog and digital lives with no regrets. If the "offline balance movement" is real, this is its playbook.

Book Description
This unique book outlines a brand-new approach of how to do timing signoff of complex microchips with the minimum number of corners. It is the first book in my planned series of books on global and local on-chip variations (OCV) and statistical, Monte-Carlo-based methods of timing signoff. I have spent more than 7 years on developing those new methods and now will share my results with the electronic design community. Each book will have a short version as a E-book that will be followed by a paperback/cover full version book with all important details. The books are mainly targeting microchip designers and software engineers in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies as well as companies that design and/or manufacture microchips. The number of timing signoff corners exponentially grows and makes microchip design very complex, time consuming, or even impossible to close timing. Additionally, there is a toll on microchip performance due to conservatism, which increases with the corner number. All delay, dimension, and other absolute values are scaled (or normalized) and do not represent real values/parameters of any particular technology node or design. Initially, I focus on factors impacting the corner number and how to find the minimum number of traditional Power, Voltage, Temperature (PVT), and Resistance, Capacitance (RC) corners. Then, I outline a break-through method with the absolute minimum of the corner number where instead of PVT/RC corners I introduce 4 min/max timing delay corners (so-called slack corners). Then, I discuss a new approach on how to design for the maximum profit by setting a proper target for the timing yield Y during timing signoff. Finally, I discuss possible enhancements in signoff paradigms, methods, and statistical STA tools. The importance of these pseudo- and fully statistical Monte Carlo-based post-STA methods is to study OCV variations in detail and justify all OCV derates for STA tools no matter whether the PVT/RC corners signoff is or the 4-slack corners is used.
