Borqs Technologies Inc operates as a software development company. It is engaged in software, development services, and products providing customizable, differentiated, and scalable Android-based smart connected devices and cloud service solutions. The company's segments include Yuantel and Connected Solution. Borqs derives most of its revenues from its Connected Solution which includes Software and Hardware.
Cloud computing has clearly become a driving force in the information technology world. Over 90% of global enterprises report using cloud as part of their business. With over $33 billion in projected 2015 spend, cloud is now the largest category in IT infrastructure budgets.
But every industry has its unique technology dynamics. Therefore, to understand the future of cloud computing you need to understand its dynamics in key industries.
In this report, we will first present some brief observations on the role of cloud across these verticals. The focus will be on the pace of cloud adoption and its subsequent impact on key sectors within each industry.
In addition, our research showed that manufacturing plays a special role in global development—and so the report will take a deeper dive into that unique sector. In doing so, the report will highlight digital trends that have a broader impact as cloud moves from the digital to the “cyber-physical”.

Designing Digital Change, Synopsis Hong Kong, April 2016:
In this session Mr. Nigel Green shares his experience of preparing organisations for the Digital World. He introduces key concepts that will help open-up the discussion of the implications, risks, and opportunities, of a digital strategy. Whilst the popular definition of “Going Digital” is often focused on digital channels for Marketing purposes, Mr. Green explains why it also impacts many areas of the organisation, and explains why it is not simply the CMO’s, CDO’s, or CIO’s challenge alone. He will also share tools and techniques used in the design & execution of the transformation to a digitally enabled business. In addition, he will discuss pragmatic next steps to take, and share ideas on how to contribute to a business-wide discussion on the subject.
This session should be of interest to anyone trying to get to grips with what “Going Digital” means to their organization, and how to start planning the change:
- The components of a digitally-enabled Business Model
- The implications & risks of adopting “Bi-modal IT”
- How to design for the protection of existing core business systems whilst embracing the new
- Dealing with an unknown future, and adaptive long-range planning
- The dangers of “Big Design Up Front”, and perhaps paradoxically, why “Adaptive Design” is ever more crucial
- The business and technology architecture implications - including a perspective on the applicability of a pattern adopted by the “born digitals” (e.g. Netflix, Google, and Amazon)
- Suggested subject matter experts to track, follow-up research material, and next steps to take.

The Internet of Things (IoT) redefines the notion of connectivity; a transition to a vast, all-encompassing web of interconnected devices which uses data to measure, calculate, evaluate and learn. This network transcends the traditional comprehension of M2M in both capability and scale, linking together billions of devices and integrating everything from tiny remote beacons to large communications networks and energy infrastructure.
The potential of this vast connected network is staggering, and brings forth real capacity to help address some of our most crucial socio-economic concerns. Devices can utilise the data at their disposal to optimise efficiency and help reduce waste. Sensors can pre-empt mechanical breakdowns and determine the most safe and cost-effective time to schedule maintenance and repair. Energy systems can be transformed into smart grids, achieving improved efficiency by ensuring supply is regulated in accordance with actual real-time demand. It is this capacity to harness vast amounts of data to understand problems and identify solutions which underlines the true potential of IoT.
This conference will bring together technologists from industry, academia and government to explore the evolution of the Internet of Things. The programme will contextualise IoT within the current technology landscape and assess the implications for business and wider society. Delegates will hear from an impressive array of thought leaders and benefit from presentations which demonstrate the value of IoT in a practical context.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

41. Why Software is Eating the World …
27 July 2014 41
More and more major businesses and industries
are being run on software and delivered as
online services—from movies to agriculture to
national defense. Many of the winners are
Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology
companies that are invading and overturning
established industry structures. Over the next 10
years, I expect many more industries to be
disrupted by software, with new world-beating
Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in
more cases than not.”
The Wall Street Journal in August 2011

“The best programs are written so that
computing machines can perform them
quickly and so that human beings can
understand them clearly. A programmer is
ideally an essayist who works with traditional
aesthetic and literary forms as well as
mathematical concepts, to communicate the
way that an algorithm works and to convince
a reader that the results will be correct.”
― Donald Ervin Knuth, Selected Papers on
Computer Science
57. What is DevOps?

Without real experience in using the
computer to get useful results the
computer science major is apt to know all
about the marvelous tool except how to
use it. Such a person is a mere technician,
skilled in manipulating the tool but with little
sense of how and when to use it for its
basic purposes.

What is it?
Any professional software development
project makes use of a version control
system. Git is one of them. It is essentially a
repository of files, typically source code files,
shared between multiple people on the team.
It tracks changes made to the files by
different people, notifies them about any
conflicts in their changes and enables them
to resolve the conflicts, thus maintaining a
single view of the source code for the entire
team.
Github is a website that hosts repositories
using Git as the version control system.

Chef automates the configuration and
management of the infrastructure, i.e. servers
and applications. It makes it easy to deploy the
infrastructure to any physical, virtual, or cloud
location, no matter what the size of the
infrastructure is. Chef enables the system
administrator to create “recipes” or abstract
definitions describing how each part of the
infrastructure should be built and managed.
These definitions are managed like source code.
Chef then applies those definitions to servers
and applications, as specified, resulting in a fully
automated infrastructure.

APIs are windows through which applications on
the web communicate with each other and share
data. Facebook, Amazon, Google Maps and
innumerable others expose their services over
APIs which enables developers to
programmatically avail their services and create
interesting mashups. For example, wherever you
see a “Share this on Facebook” icon, a Facebook
API is being called in the background.
REST is an architectural style of building APIs and
a popularly used one. It leverages the HTTP
protocol that has made the web what it is today.
