As rice is a basic grain of food consumption in India, its integrity during supply chain processes is always a major concern for the society. With the rapid growth in the internet, a lot emerging technologies have been applied in the rice supply chain system. However, all these systems being centralized creates trust problems like fraud, tampering and falsifying information. The blockchain technology which is decentralized not governed by any central authority and distributed is the solution for the problems arising in the rice supply chain system. In this paper, we will build a rice supply chain system using blockchain technology which will assure safety of rice during supply chain management processes.
Cloud computing is an "evolving paradigm" that has redefined the way Information Technology based services can be offered. It has changed the model of storing and managing data for scalable, real time, internet based applications and resources satisfying end users' needs. More and more remote host machines are built for cloud services causing more power dissipation and energy consumption. Over the decades, power consumption has become an important cost factor for computing resources. In this paper we will investigate all possible areas in a typical cloud infrastructure that are responsible for substantial amount of energy consumption and we will address the methodologies by which power utilization can be decreased without compromising Quality of Services (QoS) and overall performance. We also plan to define the scope for further extension of research from the findings we would have from this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
