Abstract
Computer science is a field that keeps evolving at a very fast pace, requiring everyone in this industry to keep up to date on the latest technological advancements. In recent history, this industry has welcomed new technologies such as distributed computing, parallel processing, virtualization, cloud computing, and, most recently, the Internet of Things (IoT). Each technology paves the way for the next and helps to build a strong foundation for others. For example, virtualization revolutionized and built the basis for cloud computing. It has been common practice to use computers with maximum resource utilization from the beginning when computers were invented, whether via time sharing, multitasking, or the recent virtualization trends.
