Big Data
Big Data or Data Science is one of the emerging
technologies these days.
This technology that deals with the study, processing,
storage, and analysis of the huge amount of data
produced from different sources all over the world.
This field has huge scope mainly for research. There are
also a lot of career opportunities in this field.
5. 4
Bio-informatics
Bio-informatics is the interaction of biology with
computer science.
It is a field in which the biological data is collected and
processed using computer-based programs.
The collected biological data is further converted into a
readable form for study and research.
6. 4
Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing is the technology that provides an on-
demand shared pool of resources over the internet to
users.
These services are provided by cloud providers like
Microsoft Azure, IBM, Amazon web services etc.
It is another emerging field in computer science and a
good area for research.
7. 4
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the science of imparting human
thinking and intelligence to computers to create
intelligent systems that can act and work like human
beings.
It is the driving force behind robotics and fuzzy systems.
Machine Learning is one of the major application of
Artificial Intelligence.
8. 4
Deep Learning
Deep Learning is also getting a lot of attention these
days.
Machine learning and deep learning are often considered
as one and the same thing but they are different.
Instead, deep learning is a sub-field of machine learning.
Deep artificial neural networks is an application of deep
learning.
It includes set of algorithms to solve certain complex
problems.

Cyber Security
Cyber Security is required considering the fact that there
has been a sharp increase in the cyber crimes in recent
times.
Cyber Security is needed in every area including public,
private, and governmental organizations.
This will also help in controlling malware activities and
viruses.

Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of Things(IoT) is a technology in which objects
and devices are connected with each other virtually
through the internet.
The devices have sensors and actuators to act according
to the surrounding environment.
Smart homes and smart cities are applications of the
Internet of Things(IoT).
