L'Anankéisme. Essai philosophique sur le déterminisme intégral

The book offers concise and essential coverage of the science and engineering of ship hydrodynamics and has been developed for pragmatically inclined readers. Applications are presented of several types of ships, from merchant and military ships, from high speed craft to sailing boats, green ships and ice breakers, from FPSO to hybrid ships like such as in ground effect craft. The present work brings out findings not only in the main topics of ship hydrodynamics but also in such related topics as ship control and marine robotics exemplified by autonomous surface vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles and their avatars like robotic fishes. The work includes also the latest developments of numerical methods.

Among the various types of software, Embedded Software is a class of its own : it ensures critical missions and if wrongly designed it can disturb the human organization, lead to large losses, injure or kill many people. Updates are difficult and rather expensive or even impossible. Designing Embedded Software needs to include quality in the development process, but economic competition requires designing less expensive products. This book addresses Embedded Software developers, Software Quality Engineers, Team Leaders, Project Managers, and R&D Managers. The book we will introduce Embedded Software, languages, tools and hardware. Then, we will discuss the challenges of Software Quality. Software Development life cycles will be presented with their advantages and disadvantages. Main standards and norms related to software and safety will be discussed. Next, we will detail the major development processes and propose a set of processes compliant with CMMI-DEV, SPICE, and SPICE- HIS. Agile methods as well as DO-178C and ISO 26262 will have specific focus when necessary. To finish, we will promote quality tools needed for capitalization and reaching software excellence.
