5. How do I participate?
1. Identify a problem that is plaguing citizens of emerging economies and analyze how
cloud computing can alleviate that obstacle.
- An example would be to use the power of hybrid clouds to render e-governance of public village sanitation malpractice-free.
- Another example could be to design a novel way to improve the concept of DigiLockers being implemented by the Indian
Government to pave way for secure paperless transactions.
- Look at these schemes launched by the Government of India (http://www.pradhanmantriyojana.co.in/) for more topic ideas.
2. Develop cloud computing based theory to address the chosen challenge and write a
high-level proposal, algorithmically laying out your approach.
3. Develop a proof-of-concept to demonstrate that your approach is viable.
