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 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). This technology
can transfer data over a network without any human
intervention. The devices can be your smartphones,
refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, 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 subsection of 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.
