(e.g., predictive maintenance of machinery) .
3. Write short notes on the following:
o a) Cloud Computing
▪ Answer: Cloud computing is a technology that allows users to
access and use shared computing resources, such as servers,

storage, and applications, over the internet. These resources are
provided by cloud service providers and are billed on a pay-per-
use basis. Cloud computing offers scalability, flexibility, and
cost savings .
o b) Big Data and its Characteristics
▪ Answer: Big data refers to extremely large data sets that cannot
be managed, processed, or analyzed using traditional data
processing tools. The characteristics of big data are:
▪ Volume: The vast amount of data.
▪ Velocity: The speed at which data is generated and
processed.
▪ Variety: The different types of data (structured, semi-
structured, unstructured).
▪ Veracity: The uncertainty and trustworthiness of data.
▪ Value: The potential insights and benefits that can be
derived from data .
4. Explain the following along with their applications: 39
o a) Artificial Intelligence
▪ Answer: Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to simulate human
intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks that
typically require human intelligence, such as learning,
reasoning, and problem-solving. Applications of AI include
digital personal assistants (e.g., Siri, Alexa), autonomous
vehicles, fraud detection, and medical diagnosis .
o b) Machine Learning
▪ Answer: Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that involves
the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn
from and make predictions based on data. Applications of ML

include recommendation systems (e.g., Netflix, Amazon), image
and speech recognition, and predictive analytics in finance and
healthcare .
5. Differentiate between cloud computing and grid computing with suitable
examples.
o Answer:
▪ Cloud Computing: Provides on-demand access to computing
resources over the internet. For example, using AWS to deploy
and manage web applications.
▪ Grid Computing: Involves a distributed network of computers
working together to perform large tasks. For example,
SETI@home, where volunteers contribute their computing
power to analyze radio signals for signs of extraterrestrial
intelligence .
6. Justify the following statement: "Storage of data is cost-effective and time-
40 saving in cloud computing."

o Answer: Cloud computing is cost-effective because it eliminates the
need for businesses to invest in and maintain their own hardware and
software infrastructure. Instead, they can rent these resources from
cloud service providers and pay only for what they use. This also saves
time as it reduces the complexity and time involved in setting up and
managing IT infrastructure .
7. What is on-demand service? How is it provided in cloud computing?
o Answer: On-demand service in cloud computing refers to the ability to
provision computing resources as needed, without the need for human
intervention. This is provided through self-service portals where users
can request resources like virtual machines, storage, and applications,

which are then automatically deployed by the cloud provider's
infrastructure .
8. Write examples of the following:
o a) Government provided cloud computing platform
▪ Answer: Example, India’s MeghRaj Cloud initiative.
o b) Large scale private cloud service providers and the services they
provide
▪ Answer: Examples include:
▪ Amazon Web Services (AWS): Provides services such
as EC2 (virtual servers), S3 (storage), and RDS (database
management).
▪ Microsoft Azure: Offers services like virtual machines,
Azure Blob Storage, and Azure SQL Database.
▪ Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Provides services such
as Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage, and
BigQuery .
9. A company interested in cloud computing is looking for a provider who 41
offers a set of basic services, such as virtual server provisioning and on-
demand storage that can be combined into a platform for deploying and
running customized applications. What type of cloud computing model fits
these requirements?
o Answer: The type of cloud computing model that fits these
requirements is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) .
10. If the government plans to make a smart school by applying IoT concepts,
how can each of the following be implemented in order to transform a
school into an IoT-enabled smart school?
o a) e-textbooks
▪ Answer: E-textbooks can be accessed on tablets or e-readers
connected to the school’s network, allowing students to access

the latest content and updates.
o b) Smart boards
▪ Answer: Smart boards connected to the internet can be used for
interactive lessons, with teachers able to access a wide range of
online resources.
o c) Online Tests
▪ Answer: Online tests can be administered through a centralized
learning management system, with results and feedback
provided instantly.
o d) Wifi sensors on classroom doors
▪ Answer: Wifi sensors can monitor the presence of students and
teachers, providing data on attendance and classroom usage.
o e) Sensors in buses to monitor their location
▪ Answer: GPS sensors in school buses can provide real-time
tracking of the bus location, ensuring student safety and efficient
42 route management.
o f) Wearables (watches or smart belts) for attendance monitoring
▪ Answer: Wearables can automatically record student attendance
as they enter and exit the classroom, reducing manual attendance
taking .
11. Five friends plan to try a startup. However, they have a limited budget and
limited computer infrastructure. How can they avail the benefits of cloud
services to launch their startup?
o Answer: They can use cloud services to access computing resources on
a pay-per-use basis, avoiding the need to invest in expensive hardware.
They can use IaaS to rent virtual servers and storage, PaaS to develop

and deploy applications, and SaaS for software applications like email,
collaboration tools, and CRM systems. This allows them to scale
resources as needed and focus on their core business without worrying
about IT infrastructure .
12. Governments provide various scholarships to students of different classes.
Prepare a report on how blockchain technology can be used to promote
accountability, transparency, and efficiency in the distribution of
scholarships.
o Answer: Blockchain technology can be used to create a secure,
transparent, and tamper-proof system for managing scholarship
distribution. Each transaction (e.g., application submission, approval,
disbursement) can be recorded on the blockchain, ensuring that all
actions are traceable and verifiable. This reduces the risk of fraud and
ensures that funds are distributed fairly and efficiently. Smart contracts
can automate the process, releasing funds automatically when
predefined conditions are met .
13. How are IoT and WoT related? 43
o Answer: The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of connected
devices that can communicate and exchange data. The Web of Things
(WoT) extends this concept by using web standards to integrate and
interact with these devices. WoT aims to make it easier to connect and
control IoT devices using web technologies, providing a unified
interface for interaction .
14. Match the columns:
o Answer:
Column A Column B
1. You got a reminder to take medication D. Smart Health
2. You got an SMS alert that you forgot to lock the

C. Home Automation
door
3. You got an SMS alert that parking space is
A. Smart Parking
available near your block
4. You turned off your LED TV from your wrist
B. Smart Wearable
watch
