    Study Notes

    Tablet Computers

    • Touchscreens are the primary interface for portable devices.
    • Two types of touchscreens: resistive and capacitive.
    • Resistive touchscreens respond to pressure; they are less sensitive but offer higher resolution.
    • Capacitive touchscreens detect electrical properties of skin and support multi-touch functionality.

    Standards Organizations

    • IEEE: Promotes electronic and computer engineering; publishes technical literature.
    • ITU: Based in Geneva; formerly known as the International Consultative Committee on Telephony and Telegraphy.
    • Standards set by these organizations influence computer architecture and organization.

    Parallel Processing

    • Parallel processing enables multitasking and solving complex problems.
    • Some classify parallel processors as extensions of the von Neumann architecture.
    • Multiple independent cores are used for parallel processing, as opposed to a single core in traditional models.

    Machine Intelligence: Deep Blue and Watson

    • Watson analyzed terabytes of unstructured data, including medical records and clinical feedback.
    • It completed 25,000 test scenarios and 1500 real-life cases showing its understanding of complex medical data.
    • The work involved consuming extensive medical literature, illustrating the challenge of interpreting human language in computing.

    Number Systems Performance Task

    • Differentiation of positional number systems (e.g., Roman vs. binary, octal, hexadecimal).
    • Binary number system has a radix of 2; it represents values in base 2.
    • Various quiz questions on converting numbers between binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems emphasize foundational knowledge in digital computation.

    Assessment Rubric for Presentations

    • Scores reflect content accuracy, organization, development of points, and language use.
    • Clear answers, logical progression, and well-supported information are essential for high scores.
    • Grammatical accuracy and a strong command of technical terminology enhance presentation quality.
