Build and Deploy Mobile Business Apps That Smoothly Integrate with Enterprise IT For today’s enterprises, mobile apps can have a truly transformational impact. However, to maximize their value, you can’t build them in isolation. Your new mobile apps must reflect the revolutionary mobile paradigm and delight today’s mobile users--but they must also integrate smoothly with existing systems and leverage previous generations of IT investment. In this guide, a team of IBM’s leading experts show how to meet all these goals. Drawing on extensive experience with pioneering enterprise clients, they cover every facet of planning, building, integrating, and deploying mobile apps in large-scale production environments. You’ll find proven advice and best practices for architecture, cloud integration, security, user experience, coding, testing, and much more. Each chapter can stand alone to help you solve specific real-world problems. Together, they help you establish a flow of DevOps activities and lifecycle processes fully optimized for enterprise mobility. Coverage Includes <ul>
<li>How mobile applications motivate business innovation--and why they present unique challenges for enterprise IT </li> <li>Understanding how the enterprise mobile app lifecycle resembles and differs from conventional development </li> <li>Designing mobile business apps that delight their users </li> <li>Choosing more effective mobile development techniques, languages, and architectural approaches </li> <li>Optimizing linkages between mobile front-ends and enterprise back-end systems </li> <li>Testing for complex, constantly changing device environments </li> <li>Practicing DevOps to accelerate and increase value, from ideation to delivery</li> </ul>

Marketization and Democracy in China (Routledge Studies on China in Transition)

Since China began an era of market reform three decades ago, many Westerners believed that, political liberalization and, eventually, democracy would follow. However, contrary to Western expectations, China remains an authoritarian country and the communist party is still in power, even though the country has witnessed rapid economic growth and its people have become richer. In Marketization and Democracy in China, Jianjun Zhang questions whether China’s market reforms have created favorable social conditions for democracy, whether the country’s emerging entrepreneurial class will serve as the democratic social base, and the role of government in the process of transition. Based upon a careful analysis of two regions―Sunan and Wenzhou ―the two prototypical local development patterns in China, Zhang finds that different patterns of economic development have produced distinct local-level social and political configurations, only one of which is likely to foster the growth of democratic practices. The results suggest that China’s political future is largely dependent upon the emerging class structure and offer a warning on China’s development: if market reforms and economic development only enrich a few, then democratic transition will be unlikely. Marketization and Democracy in China will be of interest to scholars of Chinese politics, political science and development studies.

LASER INTER-SATELLITE LINKS TECHNOLOGY 
State of the art resource covering key technologies and related theories of inter-satellite links 
Laser Inter-Satellite Links Technology explores satellite networking as a growing topic in the field of communication technology, introducing the definition, types, and working frequency bands of inter-satellite links, discussing the number of orbital elements of the spacecraft motion state under two-body motion and their conversion relationship, and establishing the basic demand model for inter-satellite link network, chain topology model, and transmission protocol model. 
The book focuses on the analysis and introduction of the principles and error sources of microwave and laser inter-satellite ranging, including the basic composition, workflow, and constraints of the laser inter-satellite link, and related design principles of the inter-satellite laser transmitter and receivers. Later chapters also discuss theories and methods of acquisition, alignment, and tracking, the impact of alignment errors on performance, and inter-satellite link modulation and its implementation. 
Specific sample topics covered in Laser Inter-Satellite Links Technology include: Pulse position modulation (PPM), differential pulse position modulation (DPPM), digital pulse interval modulation (DPIM), and double-head pulse interval modulation (DH-PIM) Basic demand model of inter-satellite link network application, including basic configuration of constellations and inter-satellite transmission networks Inter-satellite ranging accuracy, principles of microwave inter-satellite ranging, and analysis of microwave ranging error sources Effect of tracking error on the beam distribution at the receiving end and influence of tracking and pointing error on communication error rate 
Laser Inter-Satellite Links Technology serves a completely comprehensive resource on the subject and is a must-have reference for experts and scholars in aerospace, along with graduates and senior undergraduates in related programs of study.

Integrate cutting-edge technology into spacecraft design with this groundbreaking work Artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionized virtually every area of computing and complex engineering, and the design of satellite spacecraft is no exception. Intelligent satellites are increasingly capable of human-like perception, decision-making, and operations, and their problem-solving capacities are still expanding. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, their integration into satellite manufacture will only deepen. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation seeks to understand the foundations of this integration and its likely directions in the coming years. Beginning from the basic principles of interaction between artificial intelligence and satellite design and mission planning, the book analyzes a series of current or potential areas of technological advancement to create a comprehensive overview of the subject. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation readers will also find: <ul> <li>Background information on the introduction and development of artificial intelligence</li> <li>Detailed discussion of topics including autonomous satellite operation, remote sensing satellites, and many more</li> <li>Over 100 illustrations and tables to reinforce key concepts</li> </ul> Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation is ideal for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in engineering, computing, and spacecraft design programs, as well as researchers in these and related fields.

How can cognition, a concept traditionally associated with the human brain, be applied to satellite systems? For the first time, cognitive system meanings and models are applied to the uncertain environmental processes of satellite systems. The authors of this book go beyond defining 'cognitive satellite systems' to design a cognitive satellite communication system architecture with satellite-to-ground coordination, which has uses in emergency response spacecraft and prediction technology.In this book, the optimal utilization of cognitive satellite system resources is discussed in four aspects:
