SMAC
3. • Cloud Computing is almost part of everything in IT.
• We have had realized the importance and power of Big Data, potential of
data.
• The reach of mobile computing has made gathering data from people and
reaching to people directly easy.
• Combining all these gives us paradigm known as SMAC.
• SMAC is not something we are not practicing, it is almost part of our
routine now.
• Now what remains is to explore newer potentials of the same and utilizing
the potential.
• To state examples - Health monitoring apps, Live Traffic information,
study of user behavior for better marketing and making strategies, decision
making, even elections.
• We all know how BJP and AAP both has utilized power of social media, for
marketing and understanding public views etc.

Trends
4. If offered an internship in SMAC, I intend to work on data analysis for
whatever the application may be.
Some application areas I may state for example – Crowd Sourcing ideas
Studying User behavior –
Showing some images, colors in certain context and analyzing their
responses.
Parking Problem –
Like traffic problem, parking is a big issue in India. The solution may
be crowd sourcing parking spaces and an app connected to show live
available parking spaces to user.
Education –
Crowd sourcing educational information – institution, courses,
syllabus and user opinion to facilitate one to decide the best suitable option
for oneself.
