IoT and Edge Computing Services

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most hyped topics in today’s technology coverage. But what really is IoT? The term IoT summarizes all connected “entities”. The Internet of Things is made up of the smallest machines up to the largest computers. All of them have in common that they use networking technology… Read more IoT and Edge Computing Services

Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing in Defence Systems

“An unmanned systems future, really for almost every facet of our life, is inevitable.  It is not going away, so we need to deal with it head-on” says Brigadier General Frank Kelley, and I concur. Kelley, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy’s unmanned systems put forward his idea that the unmanned drones are on… Read more Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing in Defence Systems

Should we move our data to cloud ?

Cloud service is gaining more and more popularity for both individual and enterprise users. But still less than 10% of world’s data are on cloud [1]. Many people are worried about their data security on cloud especially news about data breach on cloud happen from time to time.

My password is password

Kidding! But it got you to read my blog 🙂 In class, Steven Herrod of General Catalyst Partners discussed new challenges with cybersecurity: what it used to be, what happens when it doesn’t work, and what’s next.  One notable topic I learned was about bitcoin hacks.  Hackers breech a person’s computer, and lock access to… Read more My password is password

Artificial Intelligence, Cloud, Mobile Devices and Networks

A key takeaway from Jeff Welser’s (Vice President and Lab Director, IBM Research) presentation is that we are creating data at twice the speed than bandwidth in our networks. Large parts of Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) products and services today have been built using the resources of cloud computing. According to  Craig Martell… Read more Artificial Intelligence, Cloud, Mobile Devices and Networks

Military Drone latencies

The near future in the aviation industry looks to be one hundred percent autonomous. There are already current military systems that are able to control and navigate autonomous systems from nearby bases and unmanned aerial vehicles that possess the power to access remote areas to conduct search operations, deliver potential packages, supply raw materials, scan earth… Read more Military Drone latencies

Government and Technology: Initiative to Move Old Infrastructures to Public Cloud

With a few exceptions, federal, state and local governments have not been considered the forefront of technology. This largely stems from very visible governmental agencies, such as the DMV and USPS, being notoriously inefficient. From this perspective, this week’s guest speaker, Richard Rogers, was particularly interesting, as very few people think of any government agencies… Read more Government and Technology: Initiative to Move Old Infrastructures to Public Cloud

Week 2: How the cloud is making our buildings smart?

I am a Firmware Engineer for United Technologies working on smart Fire alarm systems that improve fire protection in Smart buildings. After the class on cloud computing, I have asking myself if cloud computing can be a good avenue to make our building smarter? In my readings, I came across this article [1] from 2013… Read more Week 2: How the cloud is making our buildings smart?

Caution: Avoid blinky lights

In our last class, Montse Medina, cofounder of Jetlore, spoke about her experience as an entrepreneur in cloud computing.  Jetlore is a machine learning cloud company that analyzes consumer behavior.  They were just acquired by Paypal.

IS YOUR CLOUD-BASED, AI-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY SOLVING A REAL PROBLEM?

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) Cloud and open source technologies have lowered the up-start cost of tech ventures. But the success of (most, if not all,) businesses still hinges upon a real value proposition. The dual and the genesis of a real value proposition is a great pain point.   The Lucky PhD Co-Founders  … Read more IS YOUR CLOUD-BASED, AI-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY SOLVING A REAL PROBLEM?
