Introduction The idea of digital twin technology was first put forth in 1991, with the publication “Mirror Worlds”, written by David Gelenter. However, it was Dr. Michael Grieves ( University of Michigan ) who first applied the concept to manufacturing in 2002 and formally announced the software idea. Eventually, NASA’s John Vickers coined the term … Read more
Introduction Since time immemorial, man has tried to improve the quality of life of his community. One is reminded of the drainage system of the Indus Valley Civilization as the earliest representations. Smart City is the latest concept in this long history of attempts on this. A Smart City is a civic area that leverages … Read more
Introduction Computer Vision is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. It involves assimilating visual data, analyzing and drawing meaningful conclusions from it. CV works very much like human vision except that the latter has had much time to evolve. Our vision has learnt to tell objects apart, how far they are, whether they are moving and … Read more
Introduction Deep Learning is a subfield of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It involves using certain types of algorithms called Neural Networks inspired by the structure and function of the brain. This technology lies behind everyday products and services such as digital assistants, voice-enabled TV remotes, and credit card fraud detection as well as emerging … Read more
Introduction Machine Learning refers to the phenomenon of systems learning and improving themselves autonomously after they have been initially setup. It is an application of the broader and exciting field of Artificial Intelligence. Arthur Samuel of IBM, is credited with the coining of the term, “machine learning” during his research with the game of checkers. … Read more
Introduction Artificial Intelligence is a self-evolving software in which cognitive features like learning, reasoning, creativity and perception are coded-in to mimic humans. Nowadays such codes are there in everything, from cloud-based enterprise applications, to consumer apps and even embedded firmwares. According to Fortune Business Insights, in 2022 the global artificial intelligence market size was valued … Read more
Introduction Cloud Computing refers to the service of providing computing resources over the internet. These resources may include applications, servers, data storage, development tools and networking capabilities. The Cloud Service Provider usually charges a subscription fee for the services or bills according to usage. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global cloud computing market size … Read more
Introduction Virtual Reality is a simulated environment that mimics reality for an observer. For this it uses devices like headsets and goggles to provide services like training, education, tourism and gaming. The importance of VR can be gauged from the fact that the global VR market size in 2022 was estimated at USD 59.96 billion … Read more
Introduction The express expansion of Information Technology to the four corners of the world, though has increased connectivity, it has also compromised individual privacy. Statistics confirm this unambiguously and comprehensively: A 2014 report sponsored by McAfee estimated that cybercrime had resulted in $445 billion USD in annual damage to the global economy. The World Economic … Read more
The Concept All computing networks normally have a tendency to expand. This expansion though allows for greater use cases and population, it comes at the cost of speed and bandwidth, especially if the computing nodes are far and few. Edge Computing ameliorates this problem to a great extent, by introducing several sub-autonomous processing stations near … Read more
