Guide to Intelligent Data Science: How to Intelligently Make Use of Real Data (Texts in Computer Science)
by Frank Klawonn Christian Borgelt Frank Höppner Michael R. Berthold Rosaria SilipoMaking use of data is not anymore a niche project but central to almost every project. With access to massive compute resources and vast amounts of data, it seems at least in principle possible to solve any problem. However, successful data science projects result from the intelligent application of: human intuition in combination with computational power; sound background knowledge with computer-aided modelling; and critical reflection of the obtained insights and results.Substantially updating the previous edition, then entitled Guide to Intelligent Data Analysis, this core textbook continues to provide a hands-on instructional approach to many data science techniques, and explains how these are used to solve real world problems. The work balances the practical aspects of applying and using data science techniques with the theoretical and algorithmic underpinnings from mathematics and statistics. Major updates on techniques and subject coverage (including deep learning) are included.Topics and features: guides the reader through the process of data science, following the interdependent steps of project understanding, data understanding, data blending and transformation, modeling, as well as deployment and monitoring; includes numerous examples using the open source KNIME Analytics Platform, together with an introductory appendix; provides a review of the basics of classical statistics that support and justify many data analysis methods, and a glossary of statistical terms; integrates illustrations and case-study-style examples to support pedagogical exposition; supplies further tools and information at an associated website.This practical and systematic textbook/reference is a “need-to-have” tool for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and essential reading for all professionals who face data science problems. Moreover, it is a “need to use, need to keep” resource following one's exploration of the subject.

Qualitätsmanagement in agilen IT-Projekten – quo vadis?: HMD Best Paper Award 2016 (essentials)
by Michael Heller Christian BrandesChristian Brandes und Michael Heller diskutieren Missverständnisse zur Koexistenz von Agilität und Qualitätsmanagement in IT-Projekten. Diese sind nach ihrer Ansicht oft Ursache von Irritationen oder gar Frustrationen bei QM-Verantwortlichen, die Transitionen von „klassischen“ zu agilen Vorgehensweisen vollziehen müssen. Die Autoren lösen diese Missverständnisse auf und präsentieren Erfolgsfaktoren aus der Praxis für hochqualitative agile Softwareentwicklung. Abschließend stellen sie aktuelle Trends aus der agilen Community vor und bewerten diese aus Qualitätssicht.

Digitalisierung in Bund, Ländern und Gemeinden
by Matthias Tomenendal Roland Heuermann Christian BressemDieses Buch stellt erstmals die Gesamtsituation des IT-Managements der Digitalisierung im Öffentlichen Bereich Deutschlands vor. Aufgrund ihrer Schlüsselfunktion für die Verbesserungen in der Verwaltung selbst, aber auch der möglichen innovativen Impulse für unsere Gesellschaft – jeden IT-Nutzer und die Privatwirtschaft –, spielt sie eine sehr wichtige Rolle in Politik und Verwaltungsmanagement. Daher stehen hier vor allem folgende Fragen im Mittelpunkt: Wie managt der Öffentliche Bereich die Schlüsselkompetenz Informationswirtschaft? Wie stellt sich die Ausgangssituation in Bund, Ländern und Kommunen in Bezug auf die eigene Digitalisierung dar, welchen Stellenwert hat das IT-Management im eigenen Bereich des Öffentlichen Sektors? Welche Auswirkungen haben die Trends in der Digitaltechnologie auf Menschen, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft, Politik, Verwaltung und Staat? Welche Empfehlungen lassen sich daraus ableiten? Das Buch soll dazu beitragen, mehr Aufmerksamkeit für das Thema zu erzeugen und liefert aus Sicht von IT-Verantwortlichen und externen Experten einen systematischen Überblick.
