Formula 4.0 for Digital Transformation: A Business-Driven Digital Transformation Framework for Industry 4.0

A staggering 70% of digital transformations have failed as per McKinsey. The key reason why enterprises are failing in their digital transformation journey is because there is no standard framework existing in the industry that enterprises can use to transform themselves to digital. There are several books that speak about technologies such as Cloud, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in silos, but none of these provides a holistic view on how enterprises can embark on a digital transformation journey and be successful using a combination of these technologies. FORMULA 4.0 is a methodology that provides clear guidance for enterprises aspiring to transform their traditional operating model to digital. Enterprises can use this framework as a readymade guide and plan their digital transformation journey. This book is intended for all chief executives, software managers, and leaders who intend to successfully lead this digital transformation journey. An enterprise can achieve success in digital transformation only of it can create an IT Platform that will enable them to adopt any new technology seamlessly into existing IT estate; deliver new products and services to the market in shorter durations; make business decisions with IT as an enabler and utilize automation in all its major business and IT processes. Achieving these goals is what defines a digital enterprise -- Formula 4.0 is a methodology for enterprises to achieve these goals and become digital. Essentially, there is no existing framework in the market that provides a step-by-step guide to enterprises on how to embark on their successful digital transformation journey. This book enables such transformations. Overall, the Formula 4.0 is an enterprise digital transformation framework that enables organizations to become truly digital.

Formulation of Uncertainty Relation Between Error and Disturbance in Quantum Measurement by Using Quantum Estimation Theory (Springer Theses)

In this thesis, quantum estimation theory is applied to investigate uncertainty relations between error and disturbance in quantum measurement. The author argues that the best solution for clarifying the attainable bound of the error and disturbance is to invoke the estimation process from the measurement outcomes such as signals from a photodetector in a quantum optical system. The error and disturbance in terms of the Fisher information content have been successfully formulated and provide the upper bound of the accuracy of the estimation. Moreover, the attainable bound of the error and disturbance in quantum measurement has been derived.The obtained bound is determined for the first time by the quantum fluctuations and correlation functions of the observables, which characterize the non-classical fluctuation of the observables. The result provides the upper bound of our knowledge obtained by quantum measurements.The method developed in this thesis will be applied to a broad class of problems related to quantum measurement to build a next-generation clock standard and to successfully detect gravitational waves.

Forschung erfolgreich vermarkten: Ein Ratgeber für die Praxis

Wissenschaftler sind darauf angewiesen, mehr und mehr Forschungsprojekte in Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen durchzuführen. Für den Erfolg dieser Kooperationen müssen sie etwas tun, was ihnen zunächst einmal fremd sein dürfte: sich und ihre Forschung vermarkten. Professionelles Marketing zu lernen, dazu blieb aber während des Studiums weder Zeit noch Gelegenheit. Der vorliegende Ratgeber füllt diese Lücke und vermittelt in übersichtlichen Abschnitten die Inhalte einer Workshopreihe, die für Wissenschaftler aller Fachrichtungen entwickelt wurde.

Fortgeschrittene Programmiertechniken in Turbo Pascal (Programmieren von Mikrocomputern #19)

Während sich die Besitzer von Homecomputern meist nur mit überschaubaren Problemen beschäftigen, müssen die Programmierer kommerziell anwendbarer Systeme überwiegend komplexe Fragestellungen bewältigen. Eine bewährte Methode, solche Aufgaben zu lösen besteht darin, diese in einfacher zu lösende Teilprobleme zu zerlegen. Eine weitere Stei· gerung der Produktivität ist möglich, wenn Teilbereiche, die sich wiederholen, zusammen· gefaßt werden. Die einzelnen Teilprobleme und ihre programmtechnischen Lösungen wer­ den standardisiert und in Programmbibliotheken abgelegt. Durch deren Verwendung wird es möglich, komplexe Probleme mit vertretbarem Zeitaufwand wirtschaftlich zu lösen. Leider sind viele in der EDV-Ausbildung Lehrende vorwiegend immer noch der Ansicht, daß es genügt, ihren Schülern die Fähigkeiten eines .. Homecomputer-Programmierers" bei­ zubringen. Aus .. pädagogischen Gründen" erhalten die Schüler vereinfachte oder praktisch irrelevante Problemstellungen mit dem Ergebnis, daß den meisten Absolventen derartiger Lehrgänge das Verständnis für die Notwendigkeit einer Systematik in der Programmierung abgeht. Daß dies heute noch üblich ist, erfuhr einer der Verfasser, als er für seine Firma auf einen Lehrgang zur .. Erweiterung seiner Programmierkenntnisse" geschickt wurde.

Fortran 2018 with Parallel Programming

The programming language Fortran dates back to 1957 when a team of IBM engineers released the first Fortran Compiler. During the past 60 years, the language had been revised and updated several times to incorporate more features to enable writing clean and structured computer programs. The present version is Fortran 2018. Since the dawn of the computer era, there had been a constant demand for a “larger” and “faster” machine. To increase the speed there are three hurdles. The density of the active components on a VLSI chip cannot be increased indefinitely and with the increase of the density heat dissipation becomes a major problem. Finally, the speed of any signal cannot exceed the velocity of the light. However, by using several inexpensive processors in parallel coupled with specialized software and hardware, programmers can achieve computing speed similar to a supercomputer. This book can be used to learn the modern Fortran from the beginning and the technique of developing parallel programs using Fortran. It is for anyone who wants to learn Fortran. Knowledge beyond high school mathematics is not required. There is not another book on the market yet which deals with Fortran 2018 as well as parallel programming. FEATURES Descriptions of majority of Fortran 2018 instructions Numerical Model String with Variable Length IEEE Arithmetic and Exceptions Dynamic Memory Management Pointers Bit handling C-Fortran Interoperability Object Oriented Programming Parallel Programming using Coarray Parallel Programming using OpenMP Parallel Programming using Message Passing Interface (MPI) THE AUTHOR Dr Subrata Ray, is a retired Professor, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata.

FORTRAN 77 — strukturiert (Informationstechnik und Datenverarbeitung)

Fortran 90 Language Guide

PREFACE The FORTRAN programming language was designed in the 1950s and standardized in 1966. That version of the language was later called FORTRAN 66. FORTRAN 66 quickly developed into the most important programming language for the development of engineering and scientific applications. In 1978, the language was redesigned and standardized again and called FORTRAN 77. However, this FORTRAN version was not yet a modern language as far as software engineering and programming methodology were concerned. In 1991, a new version of the language was standardized. Its name is Fortran 90. This version is a powerful tool, in fact it is closer to the state of the art of high level problem oriented programming languages than other famous languages that are used for the same area of application. The next revision of the language is planned for 1995; it will be a minor revision of Fortran 90. The next major language revision is planned for the year 2000. This "Fortran90 Language Guide" is a comprehensible description of the com­ plete Fortran 90 programming language as it is defined in the standard docu­ ment [1]. It is already in accordance with the two corrigenda [2] [3] of the standard document. The standard document is a reference book for compiler writers and those experts who already know all about Fortran 90, but it is use­ less for beginners and rather impractical even for experienced programmers.
