>At Huskerville High School, it's not a good idea to eat the cafeteria food, trust your government, or scoff at old Indian curses.

Best-selling author and database expert with more than 25 years of experience modeling application and enterprise data, Dr. Michael Blaha provides tried and tested data model patterns, to help readers avoid common modeling mistakes and unnecessary frustration on their way to building effective data models. Unlike the typical methodology book, Patterns of Data Modeling provides advanced techniques for those who have mastered the basics. Recognizing that database representation sets the path for software, determines its flexibility, affects its quality, and influences whether it succeeds or fails, the text focuses on databases rather than programming. It is one of the first books to apply the popular patterns perspective to database systems and data models. It offers practical advice on the core aspects of applications and provides authoritative coverage of mathematical templates, antipatterns, archetypes, identity, canonical models, and relational database design.

Artificial Intelligence is a significant development in the technological landscape, and it is poised to be a veritable game-changer for all concerned. Given globalization and the winner-take-all market dynamics, there is a “superstar” effect at play in most markets, where a select few companies capture a lion’s share of the market, as well as the profit. Given this environment, Analytics goes from becoming a “good to have” to a “must have” if organizations are to take this opportunity to leverage the power of artificial intelligence and other adjacent technologies in an impactful manner. In this book, Priyo Chatterjee, drawing on his years of experience in the Analytics and Data Science space, takes a methodical approach to Analytics by first demonstrating why it has become so critical in “The Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Then he shows how companies can become more Analytical and, thereby, successful in deploying artificial intelligence strategies.
