14. Describe Web technologies

The World Wide Web provides a new paradigm in computer networking for human communication which had an impact on the delivery of information and continues to stand in rapid developments. 

Important trends used to develop new Web Technology and services such as Ubiquity, Dynamic content, Reliance on open standards and open source.  The word Web Technology represents a discontinuity in the way applications are connected. Using the Web Technology as the basis for an application brings substantial advantages to the adopter.

This paper focuses on 2 tier architecture and mainly on the 3 tier architecture which is the present web technology. This paper will also review the client-side scripting and the server-side scripting.

Web technology is the establishment and use of mechanisms that make it possible for different computers to communicate and share resources. Web technologies are infrastructural building blocks of any effective computer network: Local Area Network (LAN), Metroplitan Area Network (MAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN), such as the Internet. Communication on a computer could never be as effective as they are without the plethora of web technologies in existence.

15) Describe Cloudcomputing

«Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction».

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network typically the internet.

Web services of cloud technology: mail, google, etc

16. Give definition to Main terms of Smart technology

Smart systems incorporate functions of sensing, actuation, and control in order to describe and analyze a situation, and make decisions based on the available data in a predictive or adaptive manner, thereby performing smart actions. In most cases the “smartness” of the system can be attributed to autonomous operation based on closed loop control, energy efficiency, and networking capabilities.

A lot of smart systems evolved from micro systems. They combine technologies and components from Microsystems technology (miniaturized electric, mechanical, optical, and fluidic devices) with other disciplines like biology, chemistry, nano science, or cognitive sciences.

17. Give definitionto e-learning

Understanding eLearning is simple. eLearning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online.

There are many terms used to describe learning that is delivered online, via the internet, ranging from Distance Education, to computerized electronic learning, online learning, internet learning and many others.

We define eLearning as courses that are specifically delivered via the internet to some where other than the classroom where the professor is teaching. It is not a course delivered via a DVD or CD-ROM, videotapeor over a television channel. It is interactive in that you can also communicate with your teachers, professors or other students in your class. Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can “electronically” raise your hand and interact in real time and sometimes it is a lecture that has been prerecorded.
