SaaS Sprawl (Software-as-a-Service Sprawl)

 

SaaS sprawl (Software-as-a-Service sprawl) is a phenomenon that occurs when the number of third-party cloud applications being used on a network reaches a point where administrators can no longer manage them effectively.  SaaS sprawl typically occurs when project teams and individual users download and install cloud apps to meet an immediate work need without waiting for their IT department to review and approve the cloud vendor’s software product. The ease of procuring, deploying, and using software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications has made this type of shadow IT easier to deploy than ever before.

(Note also that Individuals can also use Cloud-based SaaS applications directly on the web without installing any software. This can lead to Data Loss Prevention (DLP) issues and place unauthorized business data outside of your normal operating environment or jurisdiction.)

COVID-19 work-from-home mandates inspired many business departments to allow the unsupervised use of cloud apps without stopping to consider how the apps would fit into the organization's workflows. Although the large majority of cloud apps are used in isolation, it’s still important for IT departments to manage the data that moves in and out of them.

Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)

 

Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a Microsoft specification for running high-level language program applications in different computer systems without changing the application code. CLI is based on the Microsoft .NET concept that some high-level language programs require modifications due to system hardware and processing constraints.  CLI compiles applications as Intermediate Language (IL), which is automatically compiled as native system code. This approach allows applications to run without code rewrites in limited systems.

A transformation matrix is a matrix that represents a linear transformation in linear algebra. These have specific applications to the world of computer programming and machine learning.

 

 Biorobotics

Biorobotics is generally thought of as the process of using biological organisms as a way to develop new technologies. It's a wide field that covers various things like cybernetics and genetic engineering, and many new scientific advances are based on different kinds of biorobotics initiatives or projects with a biorobotics component.

 

Data Sovereignty

The principle of data sovereignty is that data belongs to the jurisdiction of the nation-state where it is originally held in binary form. Data sovereignty helps to sort out many complicated issues about digital assets or how to regulate the flow of information online.

 

Hyperautomation

 

Hyperautomation refers to techniques and methods that can automate processes in significant and profound ways.  Although the term is not clearly defined, in 2020 bodies like Gartner and big companies in the tech space are defining hyperautomation as the next wave of automation or “automation 2.0.”

Logic Programming

 

Logic programming is a type of computer programming that is based on formal logic rules. In a sense, logic programming corresponds to the use of mathematical equations and other logical constructs to drive programming outcomes.

 

Disambiguation

 

Disambiguation is the conceptual separation of two ideas represented by the same word, a word that has the same spelling, where it is difficult to tell which meaning is being referenced. Humans and technology systems both have their own means for disambiguation and methods for interpreting and parsing inputs. Disambiguation is also known as word sense disambiguation and text disambiguation.

 

Layer-Wise Relevance Propagation

 

Layer-wise relevance propagation is a method for understanding deep neural networks that uses a particular design path to observe how the individual layers of the program work. These types of techniques help engineers to learn more about how neural networks do what they do, and they are crucial in combating the problem of "black box operation" in artificial intelligence, where technologies become so powerful and complex that it's hard for humans to understand how they produce results.

 

Rust Programming Language

 

Rust programming language is a computer language with object-oriented characteristics that's often prized as an alternative to traditional C++. While it's syntactically similar to C++, it also has its own range of features that make it a multi-paradigm programming language that's getting a lot of attention.  For example, some cite a broad user base and low overhead as practical benefits of using Rust, while others point to different types of functionality, like the ability for Rust to be compiled into Web Assembly.

 

Kotlin

 

Kotlin is an open source object-oriented and functional programming language that's often suggested as an alternative to JavaScript. Some describe it as a ‘streamlined’ version of Java.

Nyquist's Law

 

Nyquist’s law is a formula which states that to accurately represent an analog signal in a digital format, two samples per cycle are sufficient. In other words, the analog signal sampling rate must be at least two times the maximum analog frequency to extract all bandwidth information and accurately represent analog signals in a digital format. Sampling rates that slightly exceed twice the suggested frequency level leads to imprecision in filters and other components used for analog to digital conversion. Nyquist’s law is also known as Nyquist’s Theorem.
