The idea to enable real-time interaction with an underlying social networking framework, which was highly reliable and scalable was challenging, yet exciting! We successfully achieved that with Google Cloud Platform. Ittiam provided a clear roadmap for Tribeway and we were determined to deliver it with the app running on latest digital technologies.

Whitepaper - A Consumer Cloud Solution - White Label or BuildJ.D. Bryant
The momentum continues to build in a technology-rich society where consumers are the drivers. Lifestyle standards are changing at an accelerating speed. Global businesses need to keep up with the pace to remain players in their industry. The personal cloud is predicted to replace PCs for the majority of consumer content storage needs. Only 7 percent of digital content was stored in the personal cloud in 2011 and expected to reach 36 percent as early as 2016. The choice to enter the consumer cloud space is to buy or build. A white label consumer cloud offer is an ideal solution for businesses to enter the cloud market with minimal financial risks. It is designed to increase market share opportunities and help with customer retention. If a company buys or builds, the fact remains that harnessing the cloud is a requirement in order to compete in times ahead.
Technology has been phenomenal in the human race and the impacts has been profound as it solves lots of human problems. it has come to stay and human will live with it and its progress in the world.

Mobile Technology - Tablets and Workplace Integration (Whitepaper)Fuji Xerox Australia
Smart phones keep getting smarter. Applications for tablet computers are emerging at dizzying speeds. And the cloud that links them all is limitless in scope. Mobile computing is no longer a technology trend, but rather, an integral component of our business and social lives.
As a result, businesses need to be aware of the benefits this might bring, how these technologies are being used, and who is using them. It is important to deliver solutions that make the process of using documentation on these platforms as streamlined as possible.

Leveraging the Power of Smartphones: Real Time Monitoring of Water PointsIJERA Editor
In recent years, the world has become more sophisticated. Different aspects of today’s life has been digitized, this include; business, education, health, communication and numerous community services. With the existing extended coverage of cellular networks, most services are constantly deployed to be accessed via mobile phones, as they are also the most pervasive pocket carried devices. Though, both regular and smartphone can be used to convey the basics of mobile based services such as mobile banking, calling and text messaging, smartphone goes extra mile. While regular phones are still the better choice for some, smartphones are tremendously taking over the cellphone market. Smartphones are powered by the vast amount of mobile apps available today which offer unprecedented features and functionalities and as well more advanced internet connectivity. To ensure reliable, sufficient and safe water supply to public, the installed water points need to be well monitored. Quality and quantity parameters of water produced from the water points are constantly tracked to determine if they are within the acceptable range. In case of acute condition, the identified parameters need to be instantly communicated to the District Water Engineer (DWE) for prompt intervention. In this paper we explore the popularity and advantages of smartphones and present a proposed prototype that exploit the power of smartphones in real time monitoring of water points.
World Bank President Jim Kim’s surprise decision to resign ignited a race to find his successor. While the United States has held historic control over the appointment, the Trump administration’s policy views could raise questions and concerns. Here are some of the current contenders — some more speculative than others — according to news reports and conversations with credible sources.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Water billing management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Our project entitled “Water Billing Management System” aims is to generate Water bill with all the charges and penalty. Manual system that is employed is extremely laborious and quite inadequate. It only makes the process more difficult and hard.
The aim of our project is to develop a system that is meant to partially computerize the work performed in the Water Board like generating monthly Water bill, record of consuming unit of water, store record of the customer and previous unpaid record.

2. Mobile technology has given birth to a whole new public health practice called
mHealth, on top of countless new applications for smartphones and tablets to
improve the delivery of aid.
3. Solar power could eliminate the use of kerosene, a toxic fuel widely used in
rural areas in many developing countries, and help solve energy poverty in
Africa and elsewhere.
4. Drones can be used to monitor disaster areas and perhaps even deliver aid to
hard-to-reach areas such as communities cut off from essential services
following a massive earthquake.
5. Google Glass and other wearables may promote aid worker security by
removing the need for aid workers to carry IDs.
6. 3D printers may create cheaper versions of products to meet local needs, such
as farming tools.
7. Remote sensors can improve access to potable water by allowing public
officials and aid groups to monitor the use and effectiveness of water pumps.
