KEY TERMS (Meaning and Example)

Application services providers(ASPs)

- a company that offers individuals or enterprises access using computer
networks and the Internet as the mechanism to deliver and manage the
service to applications and related services that would otherwise have to be
located in their own personal or enterprise computers.
- sometimes reffered to as “apps-on-top”.

Example:
A fax provider
E-fax provides a free fax service that delivers faxes to your e-mail box.
Avatar
- something visual used to represent non-visual concepts or ideas, or is an
image that is used to represent a person in the virtual world of the Internet and
computers.

Example:
an icon you use to represent you on an Internet forum.

Bluetooth
- a wireless technology for sending and receiving digital voice and data over
cell phone headsets as well as wireless keyboards, mice and game controllers.
- A specification to standardize wireless transmission and synchronize
data among a wide variety of devices such as PCs, cordless telephones,
headsets, printers, and PDAs.

Example:
CD Player: Connecting a portable CD player to your car's in-dash
audio system using either a bluetooth wireless connection or a cable and
adaptor allows you to listen to CDs when you're in the car and remove the
player when you're not.

Cave Automatic Virtual Environment(CAVE)

- an immersive virtual reality environment where projectors are directed to
between three and six of the walls of a room-sized cube.

Example:
CAVEs was applied on the investigation of training subjects on landing
a F-16 aircraft.
Cloud Computing
- the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet
to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal
computer.
- the use of hardware and software to deliver a service over a network
(typically the Internet). With cloud computing, users can access files and use
applications from any device that can access the Internet.

Example:
Google’s Gmail users can access files and applications hosted by
Google via the internet from any device.

Egocentric Environment

Example:

Exocentric Environment

Example:
Grid Computing
- a type of distributed computing that combines the resources of
interconnected groups of several independent computers that communicate
through the use of a network in a way that makes them look and act like a
single computing entity.
- a processor architecture that combines computer resources from various
domains to reach a main objective.

Example:
a weather forecasting unit would require multiple variables and
calculations within the program. Computing various scenarios and
determining the probability of each scenario requires a large amount of
computing power and time. The data that is required for such a task needs
to be current, and the results need to be available within a certain time
frame. This is an ideal application for grid computing.

Nano Technology
- a part of science and technology about the control of matter on the atomic
and molecular scale - this means things that are about 100 nanometres
across. Nanotechnology includes making products that use parts this small,
such as electronic devices, catalysts, sensors, etc.

Example:
Electronics and Electricity - Nanotechnology makes it possible to
expand the capabilities of electronic devices while reducing their power
consumption and weight. The results are increased densities of memory
chips and improved display screens on electronics devices, among others.

Pull Technology
 - a type of communication that takes place over the Internet when a client
initiates a transaction by requesting information from a server.

Example:
POP3 and IMAP, the protocols used by email applications to access
mail servers, are pull technologies. They check in with the server every few
minutes and download any email messages that are waiting for delivery on
the mail server.

Push Technology
- an internet communication system in which the transaction request is
generated by the central web server or publisher.

Eample:
Email was an early use of push technology whereby a server will push
email out to an email client when it arives at the server.

QR(Quick Response) Code

- a machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white
squares, typically used for storing URLs or other information for reading by the
camera on a smartphone.

Example:
Medical field - PRESCRIPTION entry of the contents of
prescription is made smoother through the reading QR codes printed
on prescription.
Radio Frequency Identification Tag(RFID)
- a form of wireless communication that incorporates the use of
electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object, animal or person.

Example:
RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to
track its progress through the assembly line.

Software as a service(Saas)
- a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a
subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is sometimes referred to as
"on-demand software", and was formerly referred to as "software plus
services" by Microsoft.

Example:
Dropbox - an easy way to save your photos and files, and sync them
across your devices regardless of the OS you’re running. At the higher end,
it allows for you to recover deleted data and offers encryption options with
advanced user permission management, much like what you would find on
an in-house corporate network — without the need to invest in expensive
software and infrastructure.

Utility (on- demand )Computing

- a delivery model in which computing resources are made available to
the user as needed. The resources may be maintained within the user's
enterprise, or made available by a cloud service provider.

Example:
Examples of such IT services are computing power, storage or
applications. ... The term utility refers to utility services such as electricity,
telephone, water and gas that are provided by a utility company.
Virtual Reality(VR)
- computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or
environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by
a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen
inside or gloves fitted with sensors.

Example:
Creating Ideas and Forecasting Trends - Virtual reality allows
businesses to come up with fresh ideas and perform tests before
implementing them in the actual environment. This immersive technology
allows companies to forecast trends and determine the performance of
projects beforehand.

Virtual World
- a computer-based online community environment that is designed and
shared by individuals so that they can interact in a custom-built,
simulated world. Users interact with each other in this simulated world using
text-based, two-dimensional or three-dimensional graphical models called
avatars.

Example:
Handipoints - a children's virtual world that tracks chores via
customizable chore charts and lets children get involved in their household
duties offline.

Wireless Fidelity(WiFi)
- a family of wireless networking technologies, based on the IEEE
802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area
networking of devices and Internet access.

Example:
Examples of wireless networks include cell phone networks, wireless
local area networks (WLANs), wireless sensor networks, satellite
communication networks, and terrestrial microwave networks.
Worldwide Interoperability for microwave access(WiMax)
- a telecommunications technology that provides wireless data in a
variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.

Example:
connecting to an office network from a hotel room and then again from
a coffee shop.
