[Link] is Big data?
Big data is a term used to describe a collection of data that is huge in volume and still growing
exponentially. Such data is so large and complex that none of the traditional data management
tools are able to store it or process it efficiently
3. List some of the cloud-based services that you are using
at present.
At present we are using many cloud-based services, some of them are as following:
1. Cloud Storage: Google Drive, Sky Drive, Drop box etc.
2. Cloud software (SAAS): SalesForce, Slack, Zoom etc.
3. Cloud Infrastructure (IAAS): DigitalOcean, IBM, Datrium etc.
4. Cloud Platform(PAAS): Acquia, AWS (Amazon Web Services), Heroku
4. What do you understand by the Internet of Things? List some of its
potential applications.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that have an embedded
hardware and software to communicate (connect and exchange data) with other
devices on the same network.
Potential Applications of IoT :
1. Smart Home
2. Wearables
3. Smart City
4. Smart Grids
5. Industrial Internet
5. Write a short note on the following:
a) Cloud computing
b) Big data and its characteristics
a) Cloud Computing:
In cloud computing refers to a virtual computers than can be access a software,
services or storage on internet.
These software, services, and storage provided by cloud services providers based
on payment or some of them are free also.
It allows to use large applications through the internet without any physical
storage.
If you are using Facebook, google photos, google drive, sky drive, etc. these are
examples of cloud computing.
Advantages:
1. Accessible anytime, anywhere on the internet
2. Cost-effective and reasonable cost
3. On-demand sources
4. Allows to use of resources as per the need
b) Big data and its characteristics
According to Gartner
“Big data” is high-volume, -velocity and -variety information assets that demand
cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight
and decision making.“
This definition clearly focuses on:
1. Large or Huge volume of data which is going to be processed
2. It can extract information which gives a huge benefit
3. It can help in decision making
4. It can provide insight information
Big data increases the volume day by day. It is in huge amount so cannot be
processed or analyzed using conventional methods. Some of the popular terms
associated with big data for processing are data mining, data storage, data analysis,
data sharing, and data visualization.
Characteristics of Big data
1. Volume: It refers to the number of big data in terms of size. It is in very big
size or voluminous data.
2. Velocity: It refers to the rate of data transfer at very high speed.
3. Variety: Data is available in different forms like structured, unstructured,
and semistructured. It can be different files like text, images, videos, web pages,
etc.
4. Veracity: It refers to the intensity of the reliability of data. When a large
volume of data is going to be processed, sometimes chances are there to produce
incorrect data.
5. Value: It is the quantity of data including amount, reliability of data to be
processed.
6. Explain the following along with their applications.
a) Artificial Intelligence
b) Machine Learning
-Artificial intelligence endeavours to simulate the natural intelligence of humans
being into machines thus making them intelligent.
Google maps, cortana ,Alexa are powered by AI
-Machine learning is a subsystem of AI wherein computers have the ability to learn
from data using statistical techniques with out being explicitly programmed by
human being it comprises algorithms that use to learn on heir own and make
predictions
7. Justify the following statement- ‘Storage of data is cost-effective and time-
saving in cloud computing.’
Cloud computing stores data into a server and it is available at almost free of cost
or nominal cost
When it comes to time-saving by saving data on the internet there is no need to
wait to start up any computer or device. It is easily available with a browser
program or app of that. So it can be accessed any time from anywhere.
8. What is the on-demand service? How it is provided in the cloud computing?
On-demand service means that data is available as and when required. In cloud
computing, users can access any file by using a login with a username or email
account and password. This is called on-demand service.
9. Write examples of the following:
a) Government provided cloud computing platform
b) Large scale private cloud service providers and the services they provide
a) The government of India has provided a government cloud service named
MeghRaj.
b) As we have discussed earlier google is large scale private cloud service
providers which provides storage, web services and many more things.

Five friends plan to try a startup. However, they have a limited budget and
limited computer infrastructure. How can they avail the If Government plans
to make a smart school by applying IoT concepts, how can each of the
following be implemented in order to transform a school into IoT enabled
smart school?
a) e-textbooks
b) Smart boards
c) Online tests
d) Wifi sensors on classrooms doors
e) Sensors in buses to monitor their location
f) Wearables (watches or smart belts) for attendance monitoring
a) e-textbooks : e-textbooks can be made available e-library by using web services.
b) Smart Boards: Smart boards can be operated by digital stylus or pen and should
be connected with network.
c) Online Tests: A web portal or online examination should be prepared to conduct
exams smoothly.
d) Wifi sensors and classrooms doors: Wifi sensors and classroom doors can be
used to lock and unlock them. These sensors also provides security to students and
other stakeholders.
e) Sensors in buses to monitor their location: These sensors enables quick reporting
and monitoring to the coordinates and parents to know the status of child and bus
after leaving the school.
f) Wearables (watches or smart belts) for attendance monitoring. These devices can
be used or implemented for students in such a way that identifies a student and
marks the attendance accordingly

Benefits of cloud services to launch their startup?
They can go for registration with any suitable service provider either government
or private. They can register for Infrastructure as a service to avail the facility of
cloud storage and deploy applications initially
12. Governments provide various scholarships to students of different classes.
Prepare a report on how blockchain technology can be used to promote
accountability, transparency, and efficiency in the distribution of
scholarships?
As you are aware in blockchain technology, a separate ledger is created for
individual and stored so the transparency and efficiency automatically improves.
The students who can avail the scholarship in their ledger only. The transactions
are also more authentic.
13. How IoT and WoT are related?
IoT and WoT both can be used on network to communicate with multiple devices.
They can provide a communication medium between various devices, this medium
can be an app, a web service or any network enabled device.
