then why why it is so!
I'm sorry
for I don't know.
(Roaming here and there
collecting whatever comes in way)
At the time of happiness it seems to be police to protect
At the time of sadness it seems to be police to punish
BUT thinking deeply, cool and consciously
After all it is for me!!!!!

Changing, Alluring, and Challenging field of Software Engineering
The notion that the 21st century is age of science and technology has been specialized to
the notion of modern world as age of computerization. If history of computer is speculated
for a moment we find that there has been significant enhancements in the field of hardware
and currently software projects are most expensive ones. Unlike hardware design, rigid
principles are not defined for software processes so the conceptual framework behind software
engineering is far more complicated compared to that of hardware engineering. The future lies in
the field of cloud computing and software projects of standard advanced level are dependent on efficient
management policy and competitive programming logic. Hence, the revolution for achievement of
ultimate version of automation is ever increasing from the dawn of computation civilization.

| Kasparov v. Deep BlueIn 1997 Russian chess master Garry Kasparov lost a highly publicized series of matches to an IBM computer named Deep Blue. The computer used artificial intelligence to process 200 million chess moves per second in developing its strategy. This was the first time that an international chess grand master had lost a series to a computer, suggesting to some observers that advances in artificial intelligence may be surpassing human capacity in some areas.Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation.

Artificial Neural Network The neural networks that are increasingly being used in computing mimic those found in the nervous systems of vertebrates. The main characteristic of a biological neural network, top, is that each neuron, or nerve cell, receives signals from many other neurons through its branching dendrites. The neuron produces an output signal that depends on the values of all the input signals and passes this output on to many other neurons along a branching fiber called an axon. In an artificial neural network, bottom, input signals, such as signals from a television camera’s image, fall on a layer of input nodes, or computing units. Each of these nodes is linked to several other “hidden’ nodes between the input and output nodes of the network. There may be several layers of hidden nodes, though for simplicity only one is shown here. Each hidden node performs a calculation on the signals reaching it and sends a corresponding output signal to other nodes. The final output is a highly processed version of the input. |

WABOT-2 and Inventor An inventor plays a duet with WABOT-2, developed in the 1980s in Japan as one of the world’s first “personal” robots. It represented a milestone in robotics as one of the earliest examples of a robot using artificial intelligence (AI) programming. The programming enabled the robot to play a musical keyboard with its human-like hands, read sheet music with its electronic eye, and even hold a rudimentary conversation with people.

Humanoid Robot ASIMO Walks Down Stairs ASIMO is a humanoid robot designed by Japanese engineers at the Honda Motor Company. The 4-foot-tall robot first appeared in public in 2000. It is capable of walking and running like a human, and can climb stairs and reach for objects. The name ASIMO stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. The name may also honor the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, who wrote stories about intelligent robots. Reuters/Corbis |
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the study and engineering of intelligent machines capable of performing the same kinds of functions that characterize human thought. The concept of AI dates from ancient times, but the advent of digital computers in the 20th century brought AI into the realm of possibility. AI was conceived as a field of computer science in the mid-1950s. The term AI has been applied to computer programs and systems capable of performing tasks more complex than straightforward programming, although still far from the realm of actual thought. While the nature of intelligence remains elusive, AI capabilities currently have far-reaching applications in such areas as information processing, computer gaming, national security, electronic commerce, and diagnostic systems.

Alan Turing Considered a forerunner in the field of electronic computers, Alan Turing envisioned a device that could, in theory, perform any calculation. Referred to as the Turing Machine, it was designed to “read” commands and data from a long piece of tape, using a table to determine the order in which the required operations would be carried out. In the related field of artificial intelligence, he originated the “Turing test,” a process designed to determine if a computer can “think” like a human. Science Source/Photo Researchers, Inc. |
The Most Vast Subject: Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.
Philosophy is derived from Greek words 'Philos' and 'Sophia' meaning 'love' and 'wisdom' so it literal meaning is love for wisdom. But in real sense, it is sum total of all the knowledge and wisdom in entire areas.It is also called science of sciences in this regard.The list below presents major classification of philosophies of the world.
On the basis of location and time :
1. Western philosophy
1.1 Ancient philosophy (c. 600 BC–c. AD 500)
1.2 Medieval philosophy (c. 500–c. 1350)
1.3 Renaissance philosophy (c. 1350–c. 1600)
1.4 Early modern philosophy (c. 1600–c. 1800)
1.5 Nineteenth-century philosophy
1.6 Twentieth-century philosophy
2. Eastern philosophy
2.1 Babylonian philosophy
2.2 Chinese philosophy
2.3 Indian philosophy
2.4 Persian philosophy
On the basis of theories:
1 Realism and nominalism
2 Rationalism and empiricism
3 Skepticism
4 Idealism
5 Pragmatism
6 Phenomenology
7 Existentialism
8 Structuralism and post-structuralism
9 The analytic tradition
10 Moral and political philosophy
