Feed: CIO. Author: . Like other hot new areas of enterprise tech, edge computing is a broad architectural concept rather than a specific set of solutions. Primarily, edge computing is applied to low-latency situations where compute power must be close to the action, whether that activity is industrial IoT robots flinging widgets or sensors continuously taking the temperature of vaccines in production. The research firm Frost & Sullivan predicts that by 2022, 90 percent of industrial enterprises will employ edge computing.Edge computing is a form of distributed computing that extends beyond the data center mothership. When you think about it, ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Stephanie Glen. If the prospect of earning a masters degree in data science sounds too daunting (and expensive), then a MicroMasters  might be a good fit for you. A MicroMasters is a "mini" masters degree, typically comprised of four courses. The courses are offered at a fraction of the cost of a typical masters program (around a tenth of the cost), so are a great way to wet your feet and see if data science is right for you. I'm actually enrolled in the MIT MicroMasters program right now. So far, I'm ... Read More
