Correctly defined categories could help us to simplify the complexity reasonably and, at the same time, understand the critical aspects of analytical work. But how can we do it, and what can make it so complex? Common attributes of analytics projects Throughout the book, we reiterate that each analytics project is different. At the same time, analytics projects have a lot in common, and these features make them unique compared to other projects. Describing these commonalities could move us further in the conceptual understanding of analytical work. These specific features impact the entire project lifecycle, and neglecting them (trying to use general approaches without tailoring them to analytics projects) can lead to failure. General ideas of risks and challenges Challenges and risks - another critical aspect of analytical initiatives that could be the same from the overall definition perspective, but the realisation and mitigation could significantly differ based on the previously described project categorisation. Typical failures and risks per project types To provide a more tangible point of view, we would like to look at things from the opposite angle. So far, we have been looking at the typical characteristics of the analytics project (and how to categorise them). We will look at specific types of projects, provide a high-level assessment of their characteristics from a risk perspective (highly generalised), and comment on the most common problems or challenges. Typical questions for analytics projects As the last chapter of the book, we will try to provide you with some examples of questions that could be asked of relevant people in order to analyse the project. These questions may help you properly pos5ition the project on to each axis and understand the commonalities and general project challenges. This serves only as an example and may differ a great deal based on your company and environment. Analytics projects have a great deal of complexity, which can be hidden and needs to be considered. This book is a guide to evaluating and setting up analytics projects. It gives a holistic view of all aspects of analytical project that can be easily leveraged before a project starts or when it needs to be re-evaluated.

Today's researchers and industry experts are seeking transformative technologies to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Cutting-edge technological advances in cybersecurity solutions aid in enabling the security of complex heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) environments. On the other hand, HPC facilitates powerful and intelligent innovative models for reducing time to response to identify and resolve a multitude of potential, newly emerging cyberattacks.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1685074286, 978-1685074289 | 266 pages | True PDF | 6.18 MB The motivation for writing this book is to share our knowledge, analyses, and conclusions about cybersecurity in particular and risk management in general to raise awareness among businesses, academics, and the general public about the cyber landscape changes and challenges that are occurring with emerging threats that will affect individual and corporate information security. As a result, we believe that all stakeholders should adopt a unified, coordinated, and organized approach to addressing corporate cybersecurity challenges based on a shared paradigm. There are two levels at which this book can be read. For starters, it can be read by regular individuals with little or no risk management experience. Because of the book's non-technical style, it is appropriate for this readership. The intellectual information may appear daunting at times, but we hope the reader will not be disheartened. One of the book's most notable features is that it is organized in a logical order that guides the reader through the enterprise risk management process, beginning with an introduction to risk management fundamentals and concluding with the strategic considerations that must be made to successfully implement a cyber risk management framework. Another group of readers targeted by this book is practitioners, students, academics, and regulators. We do not anticipate that everyone in this group will agree with the book's content and views. However, we hope that the knowledge and material provided will serve as a basis for them to expand on in their work or endeavors. The book comprises ten chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the theoretical concepts of risk and constructs of enterprise risk management. Chapter 2 presents the corporate risk landscape and cyber risk in terms of the characteristics and challenges of cyber threats vis-à-vis the emerging risks thereof from the perspective of a business organization. Chapter 3 presents the idea of enterprise risk management and explains the structure and functions of enterprise risk management as they relate to cybersecurity. Chapter 4 provides the cybersecurity risk management standards, which may be used to build a cybersecurity risk management framework that is based on best practices. The cyber operational risk management process begins in Chapter 5 with the introduction of the risk identification function. Chapter 6 continues with the next step of this process by presenting the risk assessment procedures for evaluating and prioritizing cyber risks. Chapter 7 explains the activities in the third step in the ORM process of risk mitigation and provides examples of the tools and techniques for addressing risk exposures. Chapter 8 presents a critical function from an operational perspective for its role in detecting risk and continual improvement of the organization's cybersecurity processes through the reporting function. Chapter 9 discusses the crisis management steps that businesses must take to respond to and recover from a cyber incident. Chapter 10 emphasizes the essential ERM components that senior management should be aware of and cultivate to create an effective cyber risk control framework by focusing on the strategic aspects of cybersecurity risk management from a business viewpoint. This chapter proposes a cybersecurity ERM framework based on the content given in this book.

 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032219416, 978-1032219417 | 411 pages | True PDF EPUB | 64.81 MB This book offers up novel research which uses analytical approaches to explore nonlinear features exhibited by various dynamic processes. Relevant to disciplines across engineering and physics, the asymptotic method combined with the multiple scale method is shown to be an efficient and intuitive way to approach mechanics. Beginning with new material on the development of cutting-edge asymptotic methods and multiple scale methods, the book introduces this method in time domain and provides examples of vibrations of systems. Clearly written throughout, it uses innovative graphics to exemplify complex concepts such as nonlinear stationary and nonstationary processes, various resonances and jump pull-in phenomena. It also demonstrates the simplification of problems through using mathematical modelling, by employing the use of limiting phase trajectories to quantify nonlinear phenomena. Particularly relevant to structural mechanics, in rods, cables, beams, plates and shells, as well as mechanical objects commonly found in everyday devices such as mobile phones and cameras, the book shows how each system is modelled, and how it behaves under various conditions. It will be of interest to engineers and professionals in mechanical engineering and structural engineering, alongside those interested in vibrations and dynamics. It will also be useful to those studying engineering maths and physics.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1501361198 | 511 pages | True PDF | 53.63 MB While traditional drafting books focus on architectural and engineering readers, the thoroughly updated and revised Architectural Drafting for Interior Design, Third Edition, incorporates material and examples that are meaningful to today's interior designers. Beginning interior designers need to learn how to communicate their ideas graphically with a resource that is designed specifically for them. This book addresses this specific need by focusing on topics needed before AutoCAD is even introduced, such as how to draw a floor plan, how to use it to create an interior elevation, and how to understand the relationship between 2D and 3D drawings. Then each aspect will be transferred from the initial hand drawing to a digital rendering for completion. The only book that is written to the standards of the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ) and interior design trade associations like the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), this will provide readers with a strong, standards-based foundation in interior design. |
