The computer science field is one of the fastest advancing technological fields in today’s day and age, with new discoveries and research happening on a daily basis. Computers and their applications are in constant flux, as we create more efficient ways to profess electronic information. With a field changing so rapidly, we must remember and continue to study the roots these advancements if we are to understand all of the new material being produced. Although we focus on the western computer scientists, we sometimes forget the contributions that come from the East, specifically from Africa. Historically there have been many computer scientists from Africa that have contributed to the advancement of the computer science field. Thus far we have neglected to appreciate or acknowledge their contributions, even though we could not be at our current state without them. All discoveries in the computer science field build upon a previous discovery, and for this reason, to neglect past contribution or advancements, is to neglect the future. This is why we must change our focus and recognize the major advancements, such as the Niagara, or the Logo projects; both of which would not have been possible without the influence of African Computer Scientists. Africa has made key contributions to the computer science field through its work on the Niagara project, the Logo Computer Systems Inc, The Connection Machine, The South African Computer Science Network, and ________. One of the most notable contributions to the computer science field that comes as a result of Africa is the Niagara project. The Niagara project was originally headed by Kunle Olukotun, born and raised in Africa he now works at Stanford University in the states. The Niagara proj... ... middle of paper ... ...like LCSI are also very important to research, as it is working to better educate our own children; the children are our future, so why should we not be invested in them. The Connection Machine is extremely important in its supercomputing power and its relation to cloud computing and parallel processing, which is very important to the computer science field as it is our goal to make computers work harder and faster. All of the research that we complete in any of the above fields is also rendered inert if we have nowhere to share it and no one to share it with. These issues have been addressed by The South African Computer Science Network, which we can learn from and which we can use to model our own systems on. Finally we need to recognize __________________your summary here_______. If we are to hope to move on with any idea or any technological advancement we must
A researcher looking into women and computer science will find Ada's and Grace's names scattered all over the place. Lovelace has a programming language named after her (Ada), the Association for Women in Computing offer the ...
Ms.Amarachinta was born in India, the country that is famous for its developed information technology industry. In 1992, she went to college and studied as an undergraduate in India. Guided by a family member and seeing the great need for computer engineers in the future, Ms.Amarachinta decided to take computer science as her major. During that time, internet just appeared in people’s lives as a new invention. There were no social networks, no smart phones, none of those technology products people use today existed at that time. “When I first started [using the internet], nobody used it for entertainment as people do today. The only form of electronic communication was through e-mail, even that was not common in students with other majors”, said Ms.Amarachinta. In fact, it is nearly impossible for anyone who lived in 1990s to imagine the popularity of social networking today; similarly, teenagers who grew up with electrical products could hardly understand the old way of life people used to have. The advancement in technology
After four years in the Air Force as an Arabic cryptologic language analyst, it is impossible to ignore the significance of technical literacy and keeping up with technological innovations. I strive to not only increase and maintain my literacy in these matters, but to contribute meaningfully in the form of software development. While the Air Force champions flexibility and maintaining technological superiority, opportunities to be creative and experimental occupationally are limited, especially as a linguist. As such, I decided to pursue education full time with a primary focus on computer science and software, fields that demand, not simply provide opportunities for, experimental and creative thinking.
The second impression most readers critique is the introductory paragraph. Due to the length of this article being pages long, it can be inferred that this particular article consists of more than one introductory paragraph. The first few paragraphs introduce the general idea of Computer Science and the projects created by China and the US. Such paragraphs that only include facts in the introduction might impact the connec...
If the nineteenth century was an era of the Industrial revolution in Europe, I would say that computers and Information Technology have dominated since the twentieth century. The world today is a void without computers, be it healthcare, commerce or any other field, the industry won’t thrive without Information Technology and Computer Science. This ever-growing field of technology has aroused interest in me since my childhood. After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Science motivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning, have always been my favorite subjects since childhood.
I am currently employed as a Software Engineering Senior Analyst at Accenture. The Information system advances so rapidly that at times it is too difficult to keep up with it without proper knowledge and experience. While most of the people do get a relatively easy entry in the field after under graduation, it is very difficult to aim for a constant growth only on that basis. The field demands upgraded knowledge and experience for career growth and (achieve goals). And that is why I aspire, to pursue Masters in Management Information Systems at your esteemed University.
Growing up in the late 90’s, I witnessed computers revolutionize India – we had cellphones and personal computers and the internet transforming our lives - and like most other kids, I was fascinated by them. It wasn’t until I took course on QBasic in 8th grade, however, that I really took a liking to computer programming. The idea of computer ‘languages’ seemed almost magical to me. Over the years, that proclivity for programming grew into a passion and led me to take more programming electives in higher grades. I also took the initiative to set up a student-run Computer Club in my high school and host our first annual Computer Symposium. My upbringing in Delhi also made me aware of the gaping inequalities of wealth distribution in our society and as my interest in Computer Science deepened, it only reinforced my belief that lean-technologies can help governments of developing countries in bringing their policies to the altar of execution more efficiently.
The mini-project aims to investigate PHP, or Hypertext Preprocessor and detail how it works and what features are provided to it by modern web applications. W3Schools states that Hypertext Preprocessor is a “widely-used, open source scripting language where scripts are executed on the server” (w3schools. “PHP5 Introduction.”). PHP is designed for web development and allows for the creation of dynamic web pages.

I. INTRODUCTION In today’s world the amount of stored information has been enormously increasing day by day, so discovering patterns and trends out of massive data is a great challenge. The management and extraction of useful information becomes a problem for many areas such as business, government funding agencies, universities, research institutes, and technology intensive companies. Data mining provides a solution to this problem. A. Data Mining Data mining emerged in 1980 for creating the useful information.
On joining the college, I concentrated on acquiring knowledge not only through the classroom teaching materials, but also through the volumes of Computer related materials. In the process I have acquired in-depth knowledge in the fields of Database Management Systems, Data Mining and Data Warehousing, Software Engineering especially in the concepts related to process organization and responsibilities. I was also fascinated by the growth of Networking and Communication Technology and developed keen interest in the subjects such as Computer Networks, Data Communications and Network Protocols. The Operating systems lab and Computer Networks lab unleashed a relentless desire in me to excel at its usage and find innovative applications.
My interest in Computers dates back to early days of my high school. The field of CS has always fascinated me. The reason for choosing CS stream was not a hasty decision. My interest started developing in the early stage of my life, when I studied about the invention of computers. The transformation from the large size to small palmtops enticed me to know about the factors responsible for making computers, also the electronic gadgets so small. I was quite impressed after seeing a small chip for the first time in my school days, especially after I learnt that it contained more than 1000 transistors, “integrated circuits”.
CPU Scheduler basically selects the process from the different processes which are residing in the memory and are ready to execute, & then allocates the CPU to one of them.
Computer technology not only has solved problems but also has created some, including a certain amount of culture shock as individuals attempt to deal with the new technology. A major role of computer science has been to alleviate such problems, mainly by making computer systems cheaper, faster, more reliable, easier to use.
Computer history is based and consisted of different components during different periods of time. There are five different generations and during each one, different components are invented and used to make computers better. The development of computers is known as generations. Usually, the generations develop how computers operate, to make them smaller, cheaper, and make it more efficient and more reliable. All the generations started in 1940 by ENIAC. All computers till 2014 use low language, but humans use high level language which is close to English. Low level language is a computer language which is consisted of zeros and ones. Some of the high level languages are FORTRAN, Pascal, Basic, C and C++, and finally, Java. Computers have been
