Artificial Intelligence (Al) is growing in popularity due to the following reasons: Fast & Accurate diagnostics: Diseases can be identified quickly due the machines ability to learn from experience.Reduction in human errors: No human is 100% efficient, after a certain point a doctor will be tired due to work. An AI will never get tired.Virtual Presence: Also known as Telemedicine, this technology allows specialists to assist their patients who live in remote locations. Using a remote presence robot, doctors can engage with their staff & patients in hospitals/clinics and assist or clear the patient’s queries.
Highlights of SD-WAN Evolution
Published in David W. Wang, Software Defined-WAN for the Digital Age, 2018
UC as illustrated in Figure 1.10 is a popular enterprise communication solution that unifies separate modes of communication into a single, combined user experience. Email, text, and voice messaging work seamlessly with Web collaboration and live voice, audio, and video conferencing, in one interface, with “presence” notification to indicate the user’s availability to participate.

The users’ interface (see Figure 3, level 2 above) also includes three elements: social activity streams, conversations and presence. By default, to respect users’ privacy, their presence indicator or status is only available to those with whom they are reciprocally connected. A growing body of evidence shows that mere social awareness that others are participating and communicating directly can increase retention (Tausczik, Dabbish, and Kraut 2014). The rationale is that both social awareness and communication help individuals form social connections and attachments to each other or groups. This, in turn, keeps them engaged and committed to the larger website network (Tausczik, Dabbish, and Kraut 2014).

In IoT, system interoperability is meant to be facilitated by application layer protocol devices used to communicate over both persistent and intermittent network connection. Some of the most often referred application layer protocols are shortly presented below:Representational state transfer (REST ) is architectural style, rather than protocol, which implements synchronous request/response HTTP functions to facilitate exchange of XML and JSON messages. Although it is widely used, it is unlikely that it will become a dominant protocol due to its inconvenience for resource-constrained devices.Constrained application protocol (CoAP). Although it conforms to request/response REST style, it is based on UDP and therefore lightweight. It is realised on two sub-layers: interaction sub-layer implements a subset of HTTP functions (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.), while messaging sub-layer facilitates asynchronous, reliable interactions over UDP, by implementing confirmable, non-confirmable, reset and acknowledgement types of messages.Message queue telemetry transport (MQTT). MQTT implements publish/subscribe pattern to address mainly reliability and low bandwidth issues (even though it runs on TCP). In MQTT interaction, clients are publishing information to a broker (server) on the specific topic, while subscribers receive a message, every time a new update to a specific topic to which they are subscribed is published.Extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP). Unlike MQTT which is relatively new protocol, XMPP is already well established, initially implemented for chat and message exchanges. It implements both synchronous request/response and asynchronous publish/subscribe patterns. However, it does not support QoS options, and it uses XML messages and therefore creates additional overhead in bandwidth (XML tags) and processing (XML parsing).
