Architecture Engineering

Design the topology. Don't inherit it. Most agent systems get their shape by accident — a prompt, then a tool, then a retry, then a second agent because the first one got long. Nobody writes the topology down. Graph engineering is the discipline of declaring it on purpose: the nodes that must exist, the edges that are legal, the state that travels with the run, and the gates that sit on every irreversible step. Ken Huang writes for engineers who have to ship these systems and then operate them. Fourteen chapters cover: Execution graphs and memory graphs — and what conflating them costs ...

Salary surveys worldwide regularly place software architect in the top ten best jobs, yet no real guide exists to help developers become architects. Until now. This updated edition provides a comprehensive overview of software architecture's many aspects, with five new chapters covering the latest insights from the field. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming architecture, governance, data, generative AI, team topologies, and many other topics.

Radar Systems Engineering Essentials is a practical guide for engineers, developers, analysts, and students who need a clear, systems-level understanding of how modern radar works, from first principles to real-world integration. Built around a complete engineering workflow, the book connects mission needs to measurable specifications, then carries those requirements through propagation modeling, waveform selection, receiver design, detection processing, tracking, and multi-sensor fusion. It is written for readers who want more than isolated theory. The focus is on how each design choice ...

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture’s many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford—hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years—focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks.

Written for AI and enterprise architects, engineers, technologists, cognitive scientists, researchers, technical leaders, entrepreneurs, students, and curious readers, this book investigates a transition that may define the next phase of AI. This book continues the intellectual journey I began in Cognitive Computing Reimagined, while deliberately moving from conceptual foundations to practical architecture and engineering. The earlier book examined cognition through neurobiology, cognitive psychology, cognitive computing, and emerging artificial cognition. This new volume asks the next ...

Your AI assistant forgets everything. Every conversation, every preference, every decision — gone the instant the call ends. Large language models are stateless by design. Everything an AI system appears to "remember" — the case discussed last week, the user's preferences, the plan agreed an hour ago — is engineered, deliberately, outside the model. That engineering layer decides what enters the context window on every single turn, and it is where AI systems quietly succeed or silently fail. This book teaches you to build that layer properly. While most teams throw bigger models and ...

AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, drawing inspiration from nature's most remarkable achievements: the human brain. As neuroscience and computing converge, a new generation of intelligent systems is emerging that learns, adapts, communicates, and solves problems in ways inspired by biological intelligence. Understanding this convergence has become essential for researchers, engineers, technology leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the future of intelligent computing. Although excellent books exist on neuroscience, artificial intelligence, machine ...

Most AI books teach you prompts. This book teaches you systems. If you’ve ever felt that building AI applications is more than just calling an API… you’re right. This book takes you beyond chatbots and into the world of Agentic AI — where intelligent agents plan, reason, use tools, remember context, and collaborate to solve real problems. What Makes This Book Different? Unlike typical AI books that focus on isolated concepts, this guide shows you how to engineer complete AI systems. You won’t just learn what agents are — you’ll build them. ✔ Design intelligent agents with ...

Have you ever wondered how bridges don’t fall down or how really old buildings stay standing up? Basic principles of architecture and engineering, including an introduction to bridges, locks, arches, columns, and skyscrapers, are explored in this newest engaging addition to the How Do series. 

The software engineering landscape has changed forever. Are you building with the speed of an entire engineering team, or are you still coding like it's 2024? In 2026, the elite developers aren't just writing code anymore—they are orchestrating autonomous systems. Anthropic's Claude Code has shattered the traditional IDE paradigm, moving AI from a passive chatbot to an active, terminal-integrated, self-correcting engineering agent. If you are not leveraging this shift, you are operating at a massive competitive disadvantage. The Claude Code Black Book is the definitive, highly practical ...

Companies demand end-to-end solutions: applications that are designed, built, deployed, and maintained with rigorous engineering standards. This book provides a clear, practical, and highly detailed roadmap for developing AI applications from scratch to final production. Philosophy The core philosophy of ...

A prompt is where behaviour is asked for. An architecture is where it is guaranteed. Atlas, the customer-operations agent of Meridian Supply Co., began as one prompt: twelve rules, a ticket, "decide and reply." It passed every test. Then finance sent twelve more rules, marketing sent twelve more, three of them contradicted the first twelve, and on a Friday in June Atlas approved a nine-hundred-dollar refund that needed a manager — in a friendly tone, under a hundred and twenty words, without quoting the ticket id. Nothing had broken. The prompt had never been an architecture. This book ...

Your data is correct. Your AI's answers are wrong. Here is why - and the fix. You connect a language model to a clean, normalised database and something strange happens: the facts are right, but the answers are wrong in a business sense. The model rejects a claim that a pending renewal should have saved, quotes a rule that expired last year, and cannot say which factory stops when a port closes. The cause is simple: we hand the model isolated rows and expect it to reconstruct the knowledge on its own. It cannot. AI-Native Knowledge Graphs is a hands-on course in eleven runnable lessons that...
