DATA SCIENCE


              Data Science is a field of study that combines domain expertise,
              programming skills and knowledge of mathematics and statistics
              to extract meaningful insights from the data. Data Science uses
              techniques such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to
              extract meaningful information and predict future patterns and
              behaviours.




              INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)


              Internet  of  Things  (IoT)  describes  the  network  of  physical  devices  that  have  unique  identifiers
              (UIDs) and are capable of communicating with other devices over the network. This technology can
              transfer data over a network without any human intervention. The devices can be your smartphones,
              refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, sensors, wearable devices etc.

              For example, a lightbulb can be switched ON using a smartphone app. To check on SIDS (Sudden

              Infant Death Syndrome), the Mimo monitor is a new kind of infant monitor that provides parents
              with real-time information about their baby’s respiration, skin temperature, body position and
              activity level on their smartphones.


              EDGE COMPUTING


              Edge computing is a complimentary approach to cloud computing. Edge computing keeps computer
              data close to the user.
              Just like cloud computing, edge computing  provides storage and applications to be consumed by
              end-users. Edge computing, on the other hand, runs fewer processes in the cloud and moves those
              processes to local places, such as a user's computer or any IoT device.

              Edge  computing  is  used  in  technologies  such  as  autonomous  vehicles,  video  conferencing,  and
              augmented reality. Edge computing, for example, reduces the delay of waiting for a server in the cloud
              to respond when an autonomous car makes a split-second choice to brake and avoid a collision.
