What is Computer Science? | Undergraduate Computer Science at UMD

Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Unlike electrical and computer engineers, computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.

Principal areas of study within Computer Science include artificial intelligence, computer systems and networks, security, database systems, human computer interaction, vision and graphics, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, bioinformatics and theory of computing.

Although knowing how to program is essential to the study of computer science, it is only one element of the field. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software. The problems that computer scientists encounter range from the abstract-- determining what problems can be solved with computers and the complexity of the algorithms that solve them to the tangible designing applications that perform well on handheld devices, that are easy to use, and that uphold security measures.

Graduates of University of Marylands Computer Science Department are lifetime learners; they are able to adapt quickly with this challenging field.

MTG Engineers & Surveyors

MTGs philosophy is that quality planning is the key to a successful project. We believe it is critical to clearly define the goals and expectations of our Clients. With the Clients goals and expectations understood, we then apply our insights, experience, and technology throughout the planning process with frequent communications with our Clients.

Founded in 1962, MTG Engineers and Surveyors (MTG) hassince continuously provided a broad range ofquality professional engineering and land surveying services. Our primary service areais the Four States Region of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana; however, MTG is licensed to provide engineering services in an additional thirteen states. Throughout our history,the people of MTG have consistently distinguished themselves in meeting the needs of our clients by providing a broad range of professional services based on a combination of professionalism, extensive experience and technical innovation. Every day people drive on streets/highways, utilize utilities, attend schools, play in parks, or work at business parks oat at industries for which the faclities were surveyed and engineered by the people of MTG.

Thank you for visiting our site. Please take a few moments to browse and find out more about MTG. We look forward to hearing from you.

What is Cloud Hosting? | IBM

From an IT perspective, the flexibility of rapid solution deployment for an evolving business need is critical both to the client and the service provider. In an established environment with a long history of IT implementations, it is not easy to deploy a new solution within weeks without affecting the existing infrastructure or the available funding in a big way. Cloud hosting provides the options and advantages of quicker solution deployment and lower cost of implementation and operations.

Organizations today have enough experience with cloud hosting to prefer it to traditionally deploying their applications. It is not only quicker to deploy on cloud, but it also ensures the scalability, availability, and performance needs of the deployment.

Cloud service providers (and there are many) have also matured their services and service delivery models and are able to deliver service-level agreements (SLAs) with much more certainty and success. Cloud hosting systems have evolved to provide simplified and centralized IT services and management capabilities.

This approach to centralized administration aids both the service provider and users in defining, delivering, and tracking SLAs automatically on the web. Most cloud hosting services are provided through an easy-to-use, web-based user interface for software, hardware, and service requests, which are instantaneously delivered. Even the software and hardware updates can happen automatically. It is as easy as online shopping!

In both in-house and cloud hosting approaches, the non-functional requirements of scalability, reliability, and high availability remain the same, but cloud hosting provides a much broader pool of IT resources to deliver the scalability, reliability and availability, and with a higher degree of confidence.

These requirements can also be automatically tuned to ones solution requirements. This is known as application-aware service provisioning, which is implemented through software-defined environments (SDE). SDE automatically and dynamically provisions the compute, network, and storage resources to your application needs. It helps with maximizing efficiencies and optimizing services, a win-win for both users and the service provider.

Cloud hosting thus remains to be a prominent deployment option for clients of all industries. If you are not already there, now is a perfect time to consider it a strategic option and get on board with cloud hosting.

What is a Cloud Service? Cloud Services Solutions – Citrix

Generally speaking, there are three basic types of cloud services:

The most widely recognized type of cloud service is known as software as a service, or SaaS. This broad category encompasses a variety of services, such as file storage and backup, web-based email, and project management tools.

Examples of SaaS cloud service providers include Dropbox, G Suite, Microsoft Office 365, and Slack. In each of these applications, users can access, share, store, and secure information in the cloud.

Infrastructure as a service, or IaaS, provides the infrastructure that many cloud service providers need to manage SaaS toolsbut dont want to maintain themselves. It serves as the complete datacenter framework, eliminating the need for resource-intensive, on-site installations.

Examples of IaaS are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Compute Engine. These providers maintain all storage servers and networking hardware, and may also offer load balancing, application firewalls, and more. Many well-known SaaS providers run on IaaS platforms.

The cloud service model known as platform as a service, or PaaS, serves as a web-based environment where developers can build cloud apps. PaaS provides a database, operating system and programming language that organizations can use to develop cloud-based software, without having to maintain the underlying elements.

Many IaaS vendors, including the examples listed above, also offer PaaS capabilities.
