Compilation and Assessment

Computer Education Techniques researches emerging trends in information technology: 1- The development of interfaces in order that computing clouds currently operating in isolation can communicate directly among themselves. 2- The application of wireless technologies inside data centers and its potential for eliminating bottlenecks. 3- The actualization of Moore's law and the reduction in size of the digital switch serving as the foundation of microprocessor hardware - carbon nanotubes, graphene, and tunneling field effect transistor.

Advances in storage, semiconductor, and wireless technologies are providing opportunities to deliver cloud-based computing. Enterprise computing is in a period of transition. Leading computer hardware and software companies are investing, experimenting, and transforming their services for cloud-based delivery. There also are a number of new entrants. Both infrastructure operations and digital product are being developed and transformed for bi-directional distribution to Internet-connected devices through cloud-based delivery services. A major shift is occurring in software development; the Internet and enormous growth of smartphones and tablet computing devices is directing resources and new technologies to Big Data and mobile computing. There are technologists which project that software revenue will become 50 percent or more derived from cloud services.

Computer Education Techniques aggregates information in the public domain - open source software, print journalism, public television, source commercial software company websites, and international standards committee projects. An organization and taxonomy is applied to the information and IT subject matter. An independent assessment of the technical accuracy is made and then distributed through CETi and technology partner websites.
