Overview
In the intersection between Mathematics, Modern Statistics, Machine Learning & Data Science, Electrical Engineering & Sensors, Computer Science, and Software Engineering, is a rapidly accelerating area of activity concerned with the real-time acquisition of rich data, its near real-time analysis and interpretation, and subsequent use in high quality decision-making with automatic adjustment and intelligent response. These advances are enabled by the development of small, energy efficient microprocessors coupled with low-cost off-the-shelf sensors, many with integrated wireless communication and geo-positional awareness, communicating with massive high-speed databases. For teams able to bridge the disciplines involved, the potential for economically productive application is limitless.
