Book Description
“Wow! Shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Orwell’s 1984. Painfully real and urgent. Read this book.” —Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series Bestselling author Joelle Charbonneau’s eerily timely, high-stakes page-turner is destined to start important conversations at this particular moment in our history. Meri Beckley lives in a world without lies. When she looks at the peaceful Chicago streets, she feels pride in the era of unprecedented hope and prosperity over which the governor presides. But when Meri’s mother is killed, Meri suddenly has questions that no one else seems to be asking. And when she tries to uncover her mother’s state of mind in her last weeks, she finds herself drawn into a secret world with a history she didn’t know existed. Suddenly, Meri is faced with a choice between accepting the “truth” or embracing a world the government doesn’t want anyone to see—a world where words have the power to change the course of a country and where the wrong ones can get Meri killed.

Finding Your Way Through Formal Verification
Author: Bernard Murphy
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781986274111
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
There are already many books on formal verification, from academic to application-centric, and from tutorials for beginners to guides for advanced users. Many are excellent for their intended purpose; we recommend a few at the end of this book. But most start from the assumption that you have already committed to becoming a hands-on expert (or in some cases that you already are an expert). We feel that detailed tutorials are not the easiest place to extract the introductory view many of us are looking for - background, a general idea of how methods work, applications and how formal verification is managed in the overall verification objective. Since we're writing for a fairly wide audience, we cover some topics that some of you may consider elementary (why verification is hard), some we hope will be of general interest (elementary understanding of the technology) and others that may not immediately interest some readers (setting up a formal verification team). What we intentionally do not cover at all is how to become a hands-on expert.

Verification and Validation in Scientific Computing
Author: William L. Oberkampf
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139491768
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 782
Book Description
Advances in scientific computing have made modelling and simulation an important part of the decision-making process in engineering, science, and public policy. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic development of the basic concepts, principles, and procedures for verification and validation of models and simulations. The emphasis is placed on models that are described by partial differential and integral equations and the simulations that result from their numerical solution. The methods described can be applied to a wide range of technical fields, from the physical sciences, engineering and technology and industry, through to environmental regulations and safety, product and plant safety, financial investing, and governmental regulations. This book will be genuinely welcomed by researchers, practitioners, and decision makers in a broad range of fields, who seek to improve the credibility and reliability of simulation results. It will also be appropriate either for university courses or for independent study.

Introduction to Neural Network Verification
Author: Aws Albarghouthi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781680839104
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Over the past decade, a number of hardware and software advances have conspired to thrust deep learning and neural networks to the forefront of computing. Deep learning has created a qualitative shift in our conception of what software is and what it can do: Every day we're seeing new applications of deep learning, from healthcare to art, and it feels like we're only scratching the surface of a universe of new possibilities. This book offers the first introduction of foundational ideas from automated verification as applied to deep neural networks and deep learning. It is divided into three parts: Part 1 defines neural networks as data-flow graphs of operators over real-valued inputs. Part 2 discusses constraint-based techniques for verification. Part 3 discusses abstraction-based techniques for verification. The book is a self-contained treatment of a topic that sits at the intersection of machine learning and formal verification. It can serve as an introduction to the field for first-year graduate students or senior undergraduates, even if they have not been exposed to deep learning or verification.

Trust, but Verify
Author: Martin Klimke
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503600130
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Trust, but Verify uses trust—with its emotional and predictive aspects—to explore international relations in the second half of the Cold War, beginning with the late 1960s. The détente of the 1970s led to the development of some limited trust between the United States and the Soviet Union, which lessened international tensions and enabled advances in areas such as arms control. However, it also created uncertainty in other areas, especially on the part of smaller states that depended on their alliance leaders for protection. The contributors to this volume look at how the "emotional" side of the conflict affected the dynamics of various Cold War relations: between the superpowers, within the two ideological blocs, and inside individual countries on the margins of the East–West confrontation.
