Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ)

Automatic Repeat ReQuest (ARQ), also called Automatic Repeat Query, is an error-control protocol that automatically initiates a call to retransmit any data packet or frame after receiving flawed or incorrect data. When the transmitting device fails to receive an acknowledgement signal to confirm the data has been received, it usually retransmits the data after a predefined timeout and repeats the process a predetermined number of times until the transmitting device receives the acknowledgement.  ARQs are often used to assure reliable transmissions over an unreliable service.

 

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an application deployment tool that helps developers to deploy applications on AWS. This service helps make application deployment quicker and more efficient, and it takes a lot of the guesswork out of deploying applications in the AWS environment.

 

Deterministic Finite Automaton

A deterministic finite automaton is a type of deterministic algorithm based on a state that changes with inputs.  These are also known as deterministic finite state machines or deterministic finite acceptors.They are different from probabilistic and non-deterministic models in that one input (X) results in one known output (Y).

 

Boolean Logic

Boolean logic is a type of computer science originally developed by mathematician George Boole in the mid-1800s. It supports a great deal of algorithmic programming and the emergence of computing functionality approaching artificial intelligence (AI).

 

Sandbox

A sandbox is a style of game in which minimal character limitations are placed on the gamer, allowing the gamer to roam and change a virtual world at will. In contrast to a progression-style game, a sandbox game emphasizes roaming and allows a gamer to select tasks. Instead of featuring segmented areas or numbered levels, a sandbox game usually occurs in a "world" to which the gamer has full access from start to finish.  A sandbox game is also known as an open-world or free-roaming game. 

 

Neuro Symbolic Artificial Intelligence

 

Neuro Symbolic Artificial Intelligence, also known as neurosymbolic AI, is an advanced version of artificial intelligence (AI) that improves how a neural network arrives at a decision by adding classical rules-based (symbolic) AI to the process. This hybrid approach requires less training data and makes it possible for humans to track how AI programming made a decision.

In image recognition, for example, Neuro Symbolic AI can use deep learning to identify a stand-alone object and then add a layer of information about the object’s properties and distinct parts by applying symbolic reasoning. This way, a Neuro Symbolic AI system is not only able to identify an object, for example, an apple, but also to explain why it detects an apple, by offering a list of the apple’s unique characteristics and properties as an explanation.

Neuro Symbolic AI is expected to help reduce machine bias by making the decision-making process a learning model goes through more transparent and explainable. Combining learning with rules-based logic is also expected to help data scientists and machine learning engineers train algorithms with less data by using neural networks to create the knowledge base that an expert system and symbolic AI requires.

Copy Data Virtualization

Copy data virtualization is a type of virtualization approach applied to copies of data used for backup or archiving. With data backup and management looming so large in the business IT world, copy data virtualization is an attempt to make use of this data more efficiently. 

 

Data Center Capacity Planning

Data center capacity planning is the process of planning for current and future hardware, software and other data center infrastructure requirements within a perceived time frame.  It is a form of IT capacity planning that reviews and analyzes current data center utilization in order to plan ahead  for data center capacity increment, decrement, both or none.

 

Human Augmentation

Human augmentation is generally used to refer to technologies that enhance human productivity or capability, or that somehow add to the human body. Modern advancements in many areas of IT have led to a greater variety of implants and other technologies that could be classed as human augmentation.  Human augmentation may also be called human 2.0.

 

Intelligent Matching

Intelligent matching is a type of data management technique in which data is searched, indexed and retrieved from a database through a series of artificial-intelligence-based data sorting and matching algorithms. Intelligent matching makes it possible to find data based on the principles of semantics, where human-like searching and inference techniques are applied to each query.

 

Quantum as a Service (QaaS)

Quantum as a service (QaaS) is a term for services that bring the functionality of quantum computing to clients through cloud delivery processes. This is part of a range of services based on the broader software as a service (SaaS) model.

 

Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART)

Adaptive resonance theory (ART) is a particular philosophy driving unsupervised artificial neural network models.  It uses a specific architecture, often useful in some types of neural networks,  to try to build the capacity for new learning while keeping in place fundamental existing models.

 

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a specific type of security focusing on endpoint devices. It is often described as the use of a central data repository to observe and analyze endpoint vulnerabilities and work toward stronger endpoint threat response.

 

Big Data Architecture

Big data architecture is the logical and/or physical layout/structure of how big data is stored, accessed and managed within a big data or IT environment.  It logically defines how the big data solution will work, the core components (hardware, database, software, storage) used, flow of information, security and more.

 

Chief Cloud Officer

A chief cloud officer (CCO) is an individual who manages, supervises and governs the entire cloud computing environment and its operations within an organization. The chief cloud officer allows an organization to harness the power, productivity and efficiency from a suite of cloud computing solutions and services. As such, the CCO is the ultimate custodian of cloud-related resources and components.

 

Attack Surface

The attack surface of a system is the complete set of vulnerabilities that exist within that system. It is a metaphor used for assessing security in a hardware and software system. The attack surface is not an actual surface, but it helps the individual to visualize where vulnerabilities are in a system.

Operating System Virtualization (OS Virtualization)

Operating system virtualization (OS virtualization) is a server virtualization technology that involves tailoring a standard operating system so that it can run different applications handled by multiple users on a single computer at a time. The operating systems do not interfere with each other even though they are on the same computer.  In OS virtualization, the operating system is altered so that it operates like several different, individual systems. The virtualized environment accepts commands from different users running different applications on the same machine. The users and their requests are handled separately by the virtualized operating system.  Also known as
