Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence(AI) is theintelligenceof machines
and the branch ofcomputer sciencethat aims to create it.
Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize
operations, invest in stocks, and manage properties. In
August 2001, robots beat humans in a simulated
financial tradingcompetition.
Artificial neural networksare used as
clinical decision support systemsformedical diagnosis.
Robotshave become common in many industries. They are
often given jobs that are considered dangerous for humans
(e.g. nuclear reactors). Robots have proven effective in jobs
that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or
accidents due to a lapse in concentration, and other jobs
which humans may find degrading.
SMAC
Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud
Retailers are strategically deploying the SMAC
Stack across key business processes to combine
the best of virtual and physical retail shopping
experiences. Now a customers mobile device can
signal store management while theyre shopping.
Advanced analytics arm associates with the right
knowledge about that shopper so they can provide
more valuable assistance. And customers can
compare products, get information and redeem
targeted offers from the Cloud while in the store.
High Performance
Computing
HPC tasks are characterized as
needing large amounts of computing
power for short periods of time.
HPC environments are often
measured in terms of FLOPS (floating
point operations per second).
HPC systems tend to focus on tightly
coupled parallel jobs.

Web of Things
The Web of Things (or WoT) is a concept and plan to
fully incorporate every-day physical objects into the
World Wide Web by giving them an API, thus greatly
facilitating the creation of their virtual profiles as well as
their integration and reuse for various applications.
The Web of Things is primarily an evolution of the
Internet of Things where the primary concern has been
how to connect objects together at the network layer:
similar to the way the Internet addressed the lower-level
connectivity of computers (layers 3-4 of the OSI model),
the Internet of Things is primarily focusing on using
various technologies such as RFID, Bluetooth.
NaaS
Network as a service (NaaS)
describes services for network
transport connectivity. NaaS involves
the optimization of resource
allocations by considering network
and computing resources as a unified
whole.
Internet2 Project
The three primary goals of Internet2
are to:
Create a leading-edge very high-speed
network capability for the US national
research community
Enable revolutionary Internet
applications
Ensure the rapid transfer of new
network services and applications to the
broader Internet community
Benefits of Internet2
technologies
IP multicasting
Initially sends just one message and
does not copy it to the individual
recipients until it reaches the closest
common point on the network, thereby
minimizing the bandwidth consumed
