Furthermore, it explains how the technologies work and what makes each of them significant, for example, the potential for finding new meaning in data in the world of BIG DATA platforms, often referred to as \"No-SQL\" databases. In addition, it tackles the newest areas of technology such as HTML5, Android, iOS, open source, mash-ups, cloud computing, real-time Web, augmented reality, and more. Finally, the book discusses the opportunities and challenges of a connected world where both machines and people communicate in a pervasive fashion, looking beyond the hype and promise of emerging categories of communication such as the \"Internet of Things\" and \"Real-time Web\" to show managers how to understand the potential of the enabling technologies and apply them for meaningful applications in their own world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the common and emergent underlying technological themes that underpin the new era of connected services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the newest areas of Internet technology such as web and mobile 2.0, open source, mash-ups, cloud computing, web 3.0, augmented reality, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows the reader how to understand the potential of the enabling technologies and apply them for meaningful applications in their own world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses new developments in the technological landscape such as Smartphone proliferation, maturation of Web 2.0, increased convergence between mobile networks and the Internet, and so forth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines modern software paradigms like Software-as-as-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores in detail how Web start-ups really work and what telcos can do to adopt lean and agile methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be an invaluable guide for technical designers and managers, project managers, product managers, CEOs etc. at mobile operators (O2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, BT), fixed operators, converged operators and their contributory supplier networks (e.g. infrastructure providers).
