introduction of artificial intelligence

 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE :-

We call ourselves Homo sapiens—man the wise—because our intelligence is so important to us. For thousands of years, we have tried to understand how we think; that is, how a mere handful of matter can perceive, understand, predict, and manipulate a world far larger and more complicated than itself. The field of artificial intelligence, or AI, goes further still: it attempts not just to understand but also to build intelligent entities. AI is one of the newest fields in science and engineering. Work started in earnest soon after World War II, and the name itself was coined in 1956. Along with molecular biology, AI is regularly cited as the “field I would most like to be in” by scientists in other disciplines. A student in physics might reasonably feel that all the good ideas have already been taken by Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and the rest. AI, on the other hand, still has openings for several full-time Einsteins and Edisons . AI currently encompasses a huge variety of sub-fields, ranging from the general (learning and perception) to the specific, such as playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, writing poetry, driving a car on a crowded street, and diagnosing diseases. AI is relevant to any intellectual task; it is truly a universal field.
We have claimed that AI is exciting, but we have not said what it is.  we see eight definitions of artificial intelligence , laid out along two dimensions. The definitions on top are concerned with thought processes and reasoning, whereas the ones on the bottom address behavior. The definitions on the left measure success in terms of fidelity to human performance, whereas  the ones on the right measure against an ideal performance measure, called rationality. A system is rational if it does the “right thing,” given what it knows. Historically, all four approaches to AI have been followed, each by different people with different methods. A human-centered approach must be in part an empirical science,involving observations and hypotheses about human behavior. A rationalist approach involves a combination of mathematics and engineering. The various group have both disparaged and helped each other.

Cloud Computing architecture

Cloud computing architecture refers to all components and sub-components that together form the structure of the cloud computing system. This architecture can be divided into three parts for better understanding – front end, back end and middleware. Each part of the cloud architecture has its own set of functionalities and protocols that work together to deliver on-demand services to user-facing hardware as well as software. In general, the architecture is evolved out of large distributed network applications over the last two decades. Hence it supports any system where resources can be pooled and partitioned as required. The general cloud architecture is capable of running multiple software applications running on multiple virtual hardware in multiple locations to efficiently render on-demand services to the users. The users could be using these software applications from their desktop or laptop or mobile or tablets. Usually, whatever the user is looking at – through t...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...

What is a Linux Distribution?

A Linux distribution is an installable operating system constructed from a Linux kernel and supporting user programs and libraries. A complete Linux operating system isn't developed by a single organization, but by a collection of independent open source development communities working with individual software components. A distribution provides an easy way for users to install and manage a working Linux system. In 1991, a young computer science student named Linus Torvalds developed a Unix-like kernel he named Linux , licensed as open source software under the GPL. The kernel is the core component of the operating system, which manages hardware, memory, and scheduling of running programs. This Linux kernel could then be supplemented with other open source software, such as the utilities and programs from the GNU Project, the graphical interface from MIT's X Window System, and many other open source components su...
