Platform as a service (PaaS) is a standardized and elastically scalable development platform for applications delivered as a service. PaaS platform includes middleware and database and development, security, management, and integration capabilities. Globally, most of the organizations today are looking to standardize their operations through adoption of cloud computing. PaaS in cloud computing environment offers a solution stack and a computing platform allowing the customers to create software by using the tools and libraries the service provider. Key factors leading to the growth of PaaS market include lesser application development time, easier deployment, high scalability and less investment in IT expertise development by organizations. However, security concerns and lack of awareness among small and medium size enterprises are proving to be significant challenges to the growth of PaaS market.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is a business tool that allows you to connect with your target audience more effectively to improve operating efficiency. CRM software segment is expected to show a substantial growth in all software application markets with an increasing deployment of software solutions such as Software-as-a-Service, online channels, customer service applications, customer loyalty management, and others.

Presence of thick, crusty or scaly patches on the skin surface indicating premalignant condition is referred as actinic keratosis. People who are commonly exposed to sun light are at higher risk of actinic keratosis. Thus, actinic keratosis is commonly found in people who have fair skin. Thus, prevalence of actinic keratosis is higher in western countries than in Asian countries. Commonly, progression of actinic keratosis leads to squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer with lesser risk to life if treated early. Thus, early treatment of actinic keratosis is recommended to avoid progression of actinic keratosis into squamous carcinoma. Risk associated with untreated actinic keratosis is 20% higher than treated actinic keratosis.

Small cell architecture deploys significant commercial and performance benefits for 3G and 4G networks, thus, expected to drive the market to a great extent in the near future. Small cell architecture offers 2.5 times user data rate of pure macro cell environment, providing about 1.8 times the capacity for mean data rate of 10Mbps per user. Small cells are widely used in cellular phone applications. Continued aggressive growth in data traffic fuelled by increase in sale of smart phones, and video and application usage, and M2M devices is creating urgent need for faster and efficient networks.

Image guided surgery makes use of preoperative images to precisely guide surgical instruments by correlating the operative field. The image guidance systems also help in seamless procedure planning, thus reducing chances of error and also minimizing procedure time. With image guided systems, overall productivity is increased and being minimally invasive, allows quick recovery and shorter hospital stay. The technique was initially developed for neurosurgeries, which is one of the most critical procedures. ENT surgeries still remain the main area of application of image guided surgery systems. Major indications where image guided surgery can be performed are sinus surgery, and treatment of diseases which critical areas of cerebrum where chances of error must be minimum. Oncology is a major area of application of image guided surgery, where various methods are tried and tested for efficient treatment. With the development of technology and optimization of procedures, image guided surgery is expected to be the main stay for neurological surgeries, especially in treatment of brain tumor.

Mobile commerce is handled by devices like laptops, cellular phones, Smart phones and tablet computers to execute online commercial transactions. Mobile commerce is experiencing continuous growth in a variety of fields including sales and purchase of a wide range of services and goods, payments of bills, net banking and so on. All these transactions are collectively known as m-commerce or mobile commerce.

This trend is expected to continue in future in addition to wireless backhaul, which is currently an emerging opportunity that is expected to become a strong market driver in the near future. Increasing use of carrier Ethernet technology and increasing bandwidth usage is one of the major reasons driving this market. Mobiles phones are becoming integral part of day to day communication and they are increasingly used for carrying out business operations even in rural areas. Other significant application areas include personal banking, internet and others.

Bio-imaging refers to tools and technologies used to create structural or functional images of living objects or systems. Medical imaging in bio-imaging involves use of techniques and processes to create images of the anatomical areas and tissues of the human body to the molecular level. This helps in diagnosis and examination of disease and also helps to establish database of normal anatomy and physiology for future study. On the other hand, molecular biology in bio-imaging is related to the spatial and temporal arrangement of biological macromolecules. Bio-imaging incorporates radiology which involves various imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, medical ultrasonography or ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, elastography, endoscopy, thermography, tactile imaging, medical photography and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography. Medical imaging is considered as a set of techniques that produce images of internal structures of the body non-invasively. Bio-imaging aims to improve human health with the use of imaging techniques to advance diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human diseases.
