Clint Van Winkle
Soft Spots: A Marine`s Memoir of Combat and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A powerful, haunting, provocative memoir of a Marine in Iraq—and his struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in a system trying to hide the damage done Marine Sergeant Clint Van Winkle flew to war on Valentine’s Day 2003. His battalion was among the first wave of troops that crossed into Iraq, and his first combat experience was the battle of Nasiriyah, followed by patrols throughout the country, house to house searches, and operations in the dangerous Baghdad slums. But after two tours of duty, certain images would not leave his memory—a fragmented mental movie of shooting a little girl, of scavenging parts from a destroyed, blood-spattered tank, of obliterating several Iraqi men hidden behind an ancient wall, and of mistakenly stepping on a “soft spot,” the remains of a Marine killed in combat. After his return home, Van Winkle sought help at a Veterans Administration facility, and so began a maddening journey through an indifferent system that promises to care for veterans,… [detailed...]

Peter Checkland and Jim Scholes
Soft Systems Methodology in Action

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Whether by design, accident or merely synchronicity, Checkland appears to have developed a habit of writing seminal publications near the start of each decade which establish the basis and framework for systems methodology research for that decade.` Hamish Rennie, Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1992 Thirty years ago Peter Checkland set out to test whether the Systems Engineering (SE) approach, highly successful in technical problems, could be used by managers coping with the unfolding complexities of organizational life. The straightforward transfer of SE to the broader situations of management was not possible, but by insisting on a combination of systems thinking strongly linked to real-world practice Checkland and his collaborators developed an alternative approach - Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) - which enables managers of all kinds and at any level to deal with the subtleties and confusions of the situations… [detailed...]

Brian Wilson
Soft Systems Methodology: Conceptual Model Building and Its Contribution

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `SSM offers an elegantly simple approach that is both powerful, yet non-threatening and one that forces organisations to confront questions essential to their very survival such as, `Are we doing the right thing?` From the Foreword by Mike Duffy, Operations Director, The Smith Group Since its inception more than thirty years ago, the benefits of using Soft Systems Methodology for problem solving has gained worldwide recognition. Yet, despite recognising the importance of SSM, students andpractitioners still experience considerable difficulty with the intellectual process involved. Based on a lifetime experience as an academic and consultant, Brian Wilson provides guidance on how to develop a range of conceptual models across a variety of business problems. Building on his earlier work in Systems: Concepts, Methodologies and Applications he takes a practical approach to the topic based on the premise that all organisations are unique. He develops concepts to… [detailed...]

Gillian Whitlock
Soft Weapons: Autobiography in Transit

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran , Marjane Satrapi’s comics, and “Baghdad Blogger” Salam Pax’s Internet diary are just a few examples of the new face of autobiography in an age of migration, globalization, and terror. But while autobiography and other genres of life writing can help us attend to people whose experiences are frequently unseen and unheard, life narratives can also be easily co-opted into propaganda. In Soft Weapons , Gillian Whitlock explores the dynamism and ubiquity of contemporary life writing about the Middle East and shows how these works have been packaged, promoted, and enlisted in Western controversies. Considering recent autoethnographies of Afghan women, refugee testimony from Middle Eastern war zones, Jean Sasson’s bestsellers about the lives of Arab women, Norma Khouri’s fraudulent memoir Honor Lost, personal accounts by journalists reporting the war in Iraq,… [detailed...]

Soft-Matter Characterization

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Preface Soft matter (or soft condensed matter) refers to a group of systems that includes polymers, colloids, amphiphiles, membranes, micelles, emulsions, dendrimers, liquid crystals, polyelectrolytes, and their mixtures. Soft matter systems usually have structural length scales in the region from a nanometer to several hundred nanometers and thus fall within the domain of `nanotechnology`. The soft matter length scales are often characterized by interactions that are of the order of thermal energies so that relatively small perturbations can cause dramatic structural changes in them. Relaxation on such long distance scales is often relatively slow so that such systems may, in many cases, not be in thermal equilibrium. Soft matter is important industrially and in biology (paints, surfactants, porous media, plastics, pharmaceuticals, ceramic precursors, textiles, proteins, polysaccharides, blood, etc.). Many of these systems have formerly been grouped together under the more… [detailed...]

Soft-Soaping India: The World of Indian Televised Soap Operas

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt least one third of India?s billion inhabitants regularly watch Indian soap operas, which have displaced popular cinema as the prime entertainment genre. And in the Indian diaspora on every Continent too, Indian soap operas are a feature of life -- a source of pleasure, discussion and shared identity. This book characterizes the forms of these soap operas and relates how they have evolved. It explores how they have contributed to shaping the identity of modern India. Initially developed by the national telecast service, Doordoshan, specifically to convey messages about women?s role, contraception and other family issues, Doordoshan also engaged viewers with serializations of the two great epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabarata . But with the onset of cable TV, soap operas became primarily entertainment driven and progressively more sensational. The book traces the impact of these different strands of soap operas and considers their… [detailed...]

Softwar: An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison and Oracle

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In a business where great risks, huge fortunes, and even bigger egos are common, Larry Ellison stands out as one of the most outspoken, driven, and daring leaders of the software industry. The company he cofounded and runs, Oracle, is the number one business software company. Perhaps even more than Microsoft`s, Oracle`s products are essential to today`s networked world. In Softwar, journalist Matthew Symonds gives readers exclusive and intimate insight into both Oracle and the man who made it and runs it. As well as relating the story of Oracle`s often bumpy path to industry dominance, Symonds deals with the private side of Ellison`s life. With unlimited insider access granted by Ellison himself, Symonds captures the intensity and, some would say, the recklessness that have made Ellison a legend. With a new and expanded epilogue for the paperback edition that tells the story behind Oracle`s epic struggle to win control of PeopleSoft, Softwar is the most… [detailed...]

Daniel Jackson
Software Abstractions: Logic, Language, and Analysis

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces a new approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach--which Jackson calls `lightweight formal methods` or `agile modeling`--takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback. Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that captures the essence of software abstractions simply and succinctly, using a minimal toolkit of mathematical notions. The designer can use automated analysis not only to correct errors but also to make models that are more precise and elegant. This approach, Jackson says, can rescue designers from `the tarpit of implementation technologies` and return them to thinking deeply about underlying concepts. … [detailed...]

Software Agents

Publisher: —
Description: Future software will not merely respond to requests for information, but will anticipate the user`s needs and actively seek ways to support the user. These systems will also manage cooperation among distributed programs. To describe the many roles of such software, researchers use the term agent . The essays in Software Agents , by leading researchers and developers of agent-based systems, address both the state-of-the-art of agent technology and its likely evolution in the near future. The introductory chapters in Part I present the views of proponents and a critic of software agents. The chapters in Part II describe how agents are used to enhance learning and provide intelligent assistance to users in situations where traditional direct manipulation interfaces alone are insufficient. The chapters of Part III discuss agent-to-agent communication and the use of agents to provide intelligent interoperability in distributed systems and the Internet. Contributors:… [detailed...]

Software Configuration Management Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration

2002 y.
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
Description: Software configuration management is not what I do. I am not a software configuration management person. I am not an organizational anthropology person. However, I discovered early on that understanding organizations, software architecture, and configuration management was essential to doing my job as a software developer. I also find this systems perspective on software engineering interesting. I build software systems, and configuration management is a very important and often neglected part of building software systems. In this book, I hope that I can show you how to avoid some of the problems I have encountered so that you can build systems more effectively with your team. I should probably explain what I mean in distinguishing between software configuration management (SCM) people and people who build software systems. The stereotype is that configuration management people are concerned with tools and control. They are conservative, and they prefer slow, predictable progress…. [detailed...]
