The interface is the part of a system that serves the communication. The term denotes the physical phase boundary of two states of a medium. It describes the property of a system as a black box, from which only the surface is visible, and therefore only communication is possible about it. Two adjacent black boxes can only communicate with each other if their surfaces fit together. For the two … [Read more...]

What is Small Data?
Small/little data are data of a sufficiently small dimension for human understanding. Both their volume and format make them accessible, informative and actionable for decision making. While the term "big data" refers to machines, micro-data refers to people, small data is what we used to understand simply by the phrase data. The only way to understand big data is to reduce them into visual … [Read more...]
What is Data Fusion?
Data fusion is the process of merging and completing incomplete data sets. It is an important part of information integration. Data in a recipient record is supplemented with the help of a donor record. The donor record consists of variables and the recipient record from variables. The variables are therefore present in both data sets. Based on the donor data set, a model for calculating the … [Read more...]

Pros and Cons of Unit Testing
A unit test is used in software development to testing the functional parts (units) of computer programs, i.e. to check them for correct functionality. The term module test is also understood as an early test stage in which the most detailed internal components of the software are tested. See also the graphic stages of the V-model in the procedure model. According to the Software Validation & … [Read more...]
What is Asynchronous Communication?
Asynchronous communication is a mode of communication in which the sending and receiving of data is shifted in time and takes place without blocking the process by, for example, waiting for the receiver's response (as is the case with synchronous communication). Asynchronous communication should not be confused with the term asynchronous data transmission; this refers to media access procedures. … [Read more...]
What is Infrastructure as code (IaC)?
Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a set of mechanisms for managing virtual infrastructure through descriptor files or scripts. Initially dedicated to virtual machines (Instances), the evolution of virtualization offerings has made it possible to manage a full-fledged infrastructure, from instance to network, including the management of the DNS service, Load-Balancing, sub-networks and security … [Read more...]
CAP Theorem Explained
The CAP theorem or Brewers Theorem states that in a distributed system it is impossible to simultaneously guarantee the three properties - Consistency, Availability and Partition tolerance (failure tolerance). According to the CAP theorem, a distributed system can meet two of the following properties at the same time, but not all three. The consistency of the stored data. In distributed systems … [Read more...]
Wi-Fi for Old House With Thick Walls
Residents of old houses with 2 to 3ft thick limestone exterior walls and some load-bearing interior walls often face problem while deploying Wi-Fi to their houses. Most of these walls were insulated and it is super difficult for any radio-wave to penetrate. While these buildings are good for health while deploying solutions related to the Internet of Things invite a lot of problems. Height of most … [Read more...]
