A World of Data and

Communication

The Real Face of the

Data• Wal-Mart handles more

than 1million customer

transaction every hour, 2.5

petabytes the equivalent of

167 times the books in

America’s Library of

Congress

• Facebook website is home

to 40 billions photos

• Decoding the human

genome involves analyzing

3 billions base pairs which

took ten years the first time

it was done, in 2003, but

can now be achieved in

one week.

A Different Game• Open Source Software and

Cloud Computing in which

the internet is used as a

platform to collect, store

and process data allows

businesses to lease

computing power as and

when they need it

• More corporate functions,

such as Human Resources

or Sales, Public Services

like Health Care, are

managed over a network

Overload• Quantifying the amount of

information that exists in the

world is hard

• The growth is estimated at a

terrific rate CAGR 60%

• Experiments at CERN

generate 40 terabytes every

seconds

• This year 1.200 exabytes of

digital data will be generated

(Source: IDC)

• In 2008 households in USA

were bombarded with 3.6

zetabytes of information or 34

gigabytes per person per day

March of the Machine• In terms of bytes, written words

are insignificant, less than 0.1% of

the total

• The amount of reading people,

previously in decline, because of

television, has almost tripled since

1980 because of text on internet

• Information created by machines

and used by other machines will

probably grow faster than

anything else, database to

database

• Only 5% of the information that is

created is structured, words or

numbers

• Application like voice-recognition

and facial-recognition can identify

people and words in digital files

How to make sense

of all these data

• Sensors, computers, mobile

phones already exceeds the

available storage space

• Proliferation of data is making

them increasingly

inaccessible

The Need

• A network able to

deal with the

monster

• Solutions able to

create the monster

The Monster

• Predictive Analysis

A Different Game• The use of predictive

analytics on the basis of

large data sets is

transforming the health care.

We can spot potentially fatal

infections in premature

babies.

• The system monitors subtle

changes in seven streams of

real-time data, such as

respiration, heart rate and

blood pressure.

• The electrocardiogram

alone generates 1,000

readings per second

QSTP’s Disruptive Technology

(The Art of Visible)

• Rasad

• IQRA

• Wimatek (LTE)

It is all about communication between

people….

The rest is technology

اما ..... انه التواصل بني الناس

البقيه فهي جمرد تكنلوجيا

Rasad

RASAD, which can be more easily pronounced, is the past

form of RASD. However, RASAD (monitored) translates into

both past and present tense in English which ultimately fits

into the description of the platform where the information is

continuously being collected and processed

RASAD / َرَصد
