Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume discusses the evolutionary paths linking planets and their atmospheres to their origin within circumstellar disks. It reviews the main phases of this evolution, summarizes what we understand and what are the important open questions, and suggests ways towards solutions. Dust accretion within disks generates planet cores, while gas accretion on these cores leads to the diversity of their fluid envelopes. The formation of planetary proto-atmospheres and oceans is an essential product of planet formation. A fraction of the planets retain their primary proto-atmosphere, while others lose it and may form a 'secondary' atmosphere. When the disk finally dissipates, it leaves us with the combination of a planetary system and a debris disk. Using the next generation of observing facilities, we will be able to reconstruct more accurately the evolutionary paths linking stellar genesis to the possible emergence of habitable worlds.Originally published in Space Science Reviews, Volume 205, Issue 1-4, December 2016.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. ARE YOU WILLING TO POTENTIALLY RISK FUTURE LIVES ON YOUR ASSUMPTIONS?In our modern era, software is no longer just a collection of code; it is the invisible infrastructure of human existence. When it fails, the consequences are no longer confined to frustrating error messages-they can cascade into systemic, real-world catastrophes.In Philosophy of Software Quality Engineering: A Philosophical Treatise on Engineering, Assurance, and Testing, the author known as "The Accidental Software Quality Engineer" delivers a radical, necessary paradigm shift for the tech industry. For decades, the industry has treated software as a deterministic mathematical object. Reality, however, dictates something far more complex: software is a probabilistic, socio-technical phenomenon.Through the lens of modern philosophy, epistemology, and rigorous historical case studies, this groundbreaking treatise argues that the traditional concept of Software Quality "Assurance" is fundamentally flawed. Testing alone cannot save us. We must evolve from passive assurance to active engineering.THE GENEALOGY OF THE MICRO-FAILUREDrawing on the centuries-old proverb "For Want of a Nail," this book explores the terrifying "Butterfly Effect" of technical debt. When we overlook the "nail" of a single null-pointer or an unhandled exception, we aren't just missing a line of code; we are risking the "castle"-the integrity of the entire enterprise system, and sometimes, human lives.INSIDE THIS DEFINITIVE TREATISE, YOU WILL DISCOVER: The Ontological Crisis of Software: Why treating software merely as "math" is a fragile foundation of unexamined philosophical assumptions that guarantees future failures.The 80/20 Rule of Communication: Empirical data proving that technical communication-not just coding-is the primary workload of successful engineering, backed by case studies like the Linux Kernel.The Tetrad of Quality: Why IQ and Technical Literacy are necessary but entirely insufficient on their own. Discover how Active Listening and High EQ (Emotional Intelligence) are the true differentiators of success, referencing Google's Project Aristotle.The Determinism of Failure: A harrowing look at how the failure to communicate inevitably leads to ruin, analyzing the tragic human cost of the Therac-25 accidents and the Mars Climate Orbiter disaster.A New Axiomatic Framework: Actionable, foundational axioms to guide the new generation of Software Quality Engineers in mitigating risk and engineering necessity.ABOUT THE AUTHORWriting under the pen name "The Accidental Software Quality Engineer" (Martin J. Lammer), the author brings decades of battle-tested experience across virtually every IT domain-from defense and healthcare to finance and automotive software. With a mission to empower the publishing of software that "would make his mother proud," the author challenges stakeholders with a simple question: If you had a magic wand to make your work life better, what would that look like?Whether you are a Chief Technology Officer, a QA tester looking to elevate your career to an Engineering discipline, a computer science student, or a tech-philosophy enthusiast, this book will fundamentally change how you view your code, your team, and your responsibility to the future.What you do is important. What you do makes a difference for decades to come. Will you leave your software to chance, or will you engineer its quality?Grab your copy today and join the evolution of Software Quality Engineering! This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Is your organization relying on the passive illusion of "assurance" when it desperately requires the rigorous discipline of "engineering"?In Philosophy of Software Quality Engineering, IT/IS architect and veteran engineer Martin J. Lammer delivers a groundbreaking philosophical treatise that dismantles traditional Software Quality Assurance (SQA) paradigms. Rebuilt from the ground up, this text establishes a new foundation based on rigorous engineering, ontology, and pragmatism.The software industry is currently in an epistemological crisis. We build increasingly complex systems upon brittle methodologies, abstracting away the human cost of failure until catastrophe strikes. This is not another entry-level manual on testing automation or agile platitudes. Philosophy of Software Quality Engineering is a deep, socio-linguistic, and phenomenological analysis of technical success and failure. It is engineered specifically for software architects, engineering leaders, and "accidental" quality engineers who demand a more robust, intellectually rigorous framework.Bridging the gap between high-level philosophical inquiry and the gritty reality of code deployment, Lammer exposes the empirical failure of mere assurance. Through meticulous analysis and real-world case studies, the text explores the catastrophic human and financial costs of engineering negligence, alongside the organizational dynamics of high-functioning teams.Inside this comprehensive treatise, you will explore: The SQA vs. SQE Paradigm Shift: A rigorous breakdown of why the industry must abandon Software Quality Assurance in favor of the systematic engineering of quality.The Human Cost: A sobering, critical look at the real-world consequences of software failure, grounded in historical data.Ontological & Pragmatic Imperatives: Frameworks to align your software quality metrics with the fundamental, operational nature of your engineering reality.The Axiom Lifecycle: Actionable strategies for the "engineering of necessity" to overcome the current epistemological crisis of software development.Empirical Case Studies: Granular, uncompromising examinations of industry touchstones-from the catastrophic failures of the Therac-25 accidents and the Mars Climate Orbiter, to the methodological environments of the Linux Kernel, Cleanroom Software Engineering, Google's Project Aristotle, and the Uber (Kalanick) era.About the Author: Martin J. Lammer brings over four decades of professional experience to this text, with over 30 years dedicated exclusively to IT/IS and Software Quality Engineering in complex, high-stakes environments. Utilizing the strategic vision of an enterprise MIS architect and the analytical rigor of the Mensa standard, Lammer provides an unparalleled look into the mechanics of software quality.Philosophy of Software Quality Engineering is the definitive guide for professionals who recognize that software quality is not an arbitrary phase in a deployment pipeline, but a fundamental engineering imperative.Equip yourself with the philosophical and engineering axioms necessary to prevent failure.
