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.
