Quantum Computing vs Conventional Computing Conventional computing methods are the ones we use normally in our day to day lives on our computers, cell phones, laptops etc. Methods employed to solve problems via conventional or classical computing are by far closest to the way a human brain performs them. In classical computing, information is stored in bits which are the discrete values of 1s and 0s. Performing operations on these discrete values on a classical machine is the same as performing them by hand. The typical features of classical computers like bits, registers, logic gates and algorithms have analogous features in a quantum computer. In quantum computing information is manipulated in the form of quantum bits or ‘qubits’ which work…

1. INTRODUCTION Ubiquitous computing (or "ubicomp") is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear anytime and everywhere. In contrast to desktop computing, ubiquitous computing can occur using any device, in any location, and in any format. A user interacts with the computer, which can exist in many different forms, including laptop computers, tablets and terminals in everyday objects such as a fridge or a pair of glasses. The underlying technologies…

Safe computing is possible, but it takes knowledge, vigilance, and care. The language in this section will include a certain degree of technical jargon. The first step in devising a security strategy is to understand what “safe computing” means. If you practice safe computing, you are seeking to ensure that: •your data and programs will not be altered or disappear unless you request it; •your computer and programs will behave the way their designer intended (with the exception of software bugs…

Sustainable Computing refers to a principle that embraces a range of policies, procedures, programs, and attitudes that run from beginning to the end of any use of information technologies.The practice and procedures of using computing resources in an environment friendly way while maintaining overall computing performance.Sustainable computing is receiving more attention with increasing cost of energy and growing environmental disquiets with respect to IT. Sustainable Computing is a one of the…

In its beginning, the Internet was much slower than it is today, requiring companies to host their own networks in order to interconnect their computer systems. As the Internet continues to evolve and become faster with each passing year, the ability has emerged for companies to cut costs by offloading their networks to companies who host these services over the Internet. This practice has widely come to be known as Cloud Computing. The benefits of such a service are many, but it does come with…

Cloud computing enables small companies and startups run only with op-ex i.e. operating costs in business terms instead of cap-ex i.e. capital expenditure which would mean access to analytics which previously was only a part of large companies. Cloud computing makes the cost of 1 computer being used for 1000 hours more or less equal to 1000 computers operating for one hour. This means a change in strategy for analysis & design of systems, as cloud computing changes the scope of scalability &…

What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is a comprehensive service to provide computing power. Storage units and online services from service providers to simplify installation, saving time administrator, reduce the cost of building computer systems and networks themselves. It has both a free service and save money. Moreover, is that we use the software, systems, and computer resources of the provider. Through the internet choose processing power. Select Resources the on-demand applications and…

Increasingly, small to mid size entities (SMEs) are reducing large portions of their Information Technology (IT) teams to adopt cloud computing architectures. They are moving away from traditional in house computing and opting for Software as a Service (SaaS) and the other categories of cloud based computing as a replacement. Organizations seek cost benefits, technical agility, process specialization, and the shifting of governance tasks and responsibilities. They look to be more nimble and…

women in computing is a great resource. Hence maybe why google is starting their initiative. The article I read was titled “The Trouble with ‘women in computing’: a critical examination of the deployment of research on the gender gap in computer science”. As the title describes that article establishes a known issue but doesn’t offer a solution or remedy to the problem we face. Instead it just present facts, such as trends about women in computing. One trend they established is that if the…

In today’s business environment, cloud computing and virtualization are the cost effective technologies that are striving in order to maximize speed and agility of IT operations. Cloud computing is a network-based platform for sharing computations and resources. Cloud computing is based on a group of virtualised computing resources. Virtualization is defined as the ability to run multiple operating systems on a single system and share underlying hardware resources. Based on virtualization, cloud…
