Recognizing the vast potential in analyzing big data through machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, companies are acknowledging these technologies as essential for maintaining relevance. A prevailing trend is emerging toward the adoption of distributed open‑source computing for storing big data assets and performing advanced ML/AI analytics to predict future trends and risks for businesses. This book offers readers an overview of the essentials of big data and ML/AI, while acknowledging that the field is extensive and evolving. In addition to focusing on theory, this book shares real‑life experiences building AI and big data analytics systems of value to practitioners.• Features practical case studies on building big data and AI models for large‑scale enterprise solutions.• Discusses the use of design patterns for architecting AI that are safe, secure, and testable.• Covers an array of concepts, including deep big data analytics, natural language processing, transformer architecture, and evolution of ChatGPT, swarm intelligence, and genetic programming.Informed by the authors’ many years of teaching ML and AI and working on predictive data analytics/AI projects, this book is suitable for use by graduates, professionals, and researchers within the field of data science and engineers and scientists interested in learning more about these essential technologies.

Modern-day projects require software and systems engineers to work together in realizing architectures of large and complex software-intensive systems. To date, the two have used their own tools and methods to deal with similar issues when it comes to the requirements, design, testing, maintenance, and evolution of these architectures.Software and Systems Architecture in Action explores practices that can be helpful in the development of architectures of large-scale systems in which software is a major component. Examining the synergies that exist between the disciplines of software and systems engineering, it presents concepts, techniques, and methods for creating and documenting architectures.The book describes an approach to architecture design that is driven from systemic quality attributes determined from both the business and technical goals of the system, rather than just its functional requirements. This architecture-centric design approach utilizes analytically derived patterns and tactics for quality attributes that inform the architect’s design choices and help shape the architecture of a given system.The book includes coverage of techniques used to assess the impact of architecture-centric design on the structural complexity of a system. After reading the book, you will understand how to create architectures of systems and assess their ability to meet the business goals of your organization.Ideal for anyone involved with large and complex software-intensive systems, the book details powerful methods for engaging the software and systems engineers on your team. The book is also suitable for use in undergraduate and graduate-level courses on software and systems architecture as it exposes students to the concepts and techniques used to create and manage architectures of software-intensive systems.
