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 to 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 the
                 end-users. However, edge computing runs fewer processes in the cloud and moves those processes
                 to local places, such as on 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.
