Short Book Reviews Mittermeir, R. (ed.) Shifting Paradigms in Software Engineering Springer-Verla~ 1992, DM57/i~$396, x + 252pages. Proceedings of the 7th Joint Conference of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) and the John yon Neumann Society for Computing Sciences (NJSZT) in Klagenfurt, Austria, 1992. Object-orientation and the need for multiparadigmatic systems constitute a challenge for researchers, practitioners, and instructors. Presentations at the conference addressed these issues. The proceedings comprise such topics as : project management, artificial intelligence modelling aspects, artificial intelligence - tool building aspects, language features, object-oriented software development, the challenge of coping with complexity, methodology and experience, software engineering education, science policy, etc. Kuo, W. (ed.) Quality Through Engineering Design Elsevier, 1993, US$178.00/Dfl.285.00, xiv + 460pages. Proceedings of the Conference, Bangalore, India, 11-14 January, 1993 Advances in Industrial Engineering Volume 16 This book addresses the timely issues of qu.ality, and engineering design in a formal way. Its arm is to foster the understanding and collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of conceptual approaches to engineering design, computational approaches in design, statistical design and analysis, reliability, and quality control. The 34 papers disseminate state-of-the-art information on engineering design in the context of quality, presenting views and sharing concepts. In addition to the quantitative models presented in this book, applications, strategic eonsideratlons, and validated managerial practices are also considered. It illustrates the great value of developing communication channels between engineers and statisticians and between academic theoretieians and industrial practitioners, and of differentiating future design needs from the current design practice. It resents problems and solutions across the oundaries of nations and cultures. It is this particular quality that is essential to expanding world economics and enhancing human living standards.

The book will prove a useful reference for all those involved in engineering design. They will benefit from the modern statistical techniques and tutorials, presented in the book and from the numerous reliability techniques to various design projects. Harter, H.L. The Chronological Annotated Bibliography of Order Statistics, volumes 1, .., 8 American Sciences Press, $95 per volume, complete set $64O. The chronological annotated bibliography contains not only books and journal articles, but also dissertations, theses, technical reports and notes, and j~apers from a variety of sources. Publications in foretgn languages are included, with information about English translations when available. All entries are arranged chronologically and within years alphabetically. Dr. Hatter's research has produced a work which provides over a half-million words giving authoritative coverage of order statistics and their appfications in virtually all fields of human endeavour. The contents, covering over 4,800 publications, reflects the growth of order statistics to be indispensable in scientific statistical inquiry. The result ls an indispensable information source and guide to order statistics, methods and applications, for all research that touches statistics. Berck, P., Sydsaeter, K. Economists' Mathematical Manual Springer-Verla~ 1993, 2na ed., x + 166pages.

This volume presents mathematical formulas and theorems common to economists. It includes both formulas like Roy's identity that are peculiar to economics and formulas like Leibulz's rule that are common to many areas of applied mathematics. The volume is meant to be a reference work, to be used by the graduate student in conjunction with a textbook and by the researcher in need of exact statements of mathematical results. In the second edition, the authors made a number of corrections and some minor additions.
