Data science comprises one of the fastest growing and most lucrative corners of the digital labor market. Data scientists – the so-called "high-priests" of big data – combine unique and esoteric skills. Jonathan Goldman says data scientists are sometimes referred to as "unicorns" simply because the combination of skills and talents required to do the job is so rare and hard to find. In UNICORNS AMONG US, Lars Nielsen profiles today's data scientists by looking at their backgrounds, training, skills, tools and responsibilities. This book will prove ideal reading for anyone contemplating a career in data science, or anyone charged with managing data science projects or data science teams.  CONTENTS: High Priests * Part Analyst, Part Inspired Artist * Data Wrangling * The Human Factor vs. The Machine Factor * The Dats Scientist's Shifting Role * A Cool Sub-Niche: Crowd Science * The Data Scientist's Most Important Tool: Hadoop * A Fantastic Kind of Abstraction: The Origins of Hadoop * A Platform is Born * Hadoop Grows Up * A Cautionary Summing Up

Databases & Big Data

Control systems have come to play an important role in the performance of modern vehicles with regards to meeting goals on low emissions and low fuel consumption. To achieve these goals, modeling, simulation, and analysis have become standard tools for the development of control systems in the automotive industry. Modeling and Control of Engines and Drivelines provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic from a clear perspective of systems engineering and control systems, which are at the core of vehicle design. This book has three main goals. The first is to provide a thorough understanding of component models as building blocks. It has therefore been important to provide measurements from real processes, to explain the underlying physics, to describe the modeling considerations, and to validate the resulting models experimentally. Second, the authors show how the models are used in the current design of control and diagnosis systems. These system designs are never used in isolation, so the third goal is to provide a complete setting for system integration and evaluation, including complete vehicle models together with actual requirements and driving cycle analysis. Key features: <ul>
<li>Covers signals, systems, and control in modern vehicles</li> <li>Covers the basic dynamics of internal combustion engines and drivelines</li> <li>Provides a set of standard models and includes examples and case studies</li> <li>Covers turbo- and super-charging, and automotive dependability and diagnosis</li> <li>Accompanied by a web site hosting example models and problems and solutions</li> </ul>
Modeling and Control of Engines and Drivelines is a comprehensive reference for graduate students and the authors’ close collaboration with the automotive industry ensures that the knowledge and skills that practicing engineers need when analysing and developing new powertrain systems are also covered.
