Next generation of computing through cloud computing technology

Abstract: Cloud computing, one of the emerging topic in the field of information technology, is the development of parallel computing, distributed computing and grid computing. By using the internet and central remote services it maintains the data, applications etc which offers much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing, bandwidth and so on. It can also concentrate all computation resources and manage automatically through the software without intervene. There are several layers in present cloud computing architecture, service models, platforms, issues i.e. security, privacy, reliability, open standard etc. and types. This paper presents all about the promising cloud computing technology i.e. its architecture, advantages, platforms, issues and challenges, applications, future and research options of cloud computing. There four generations of computing such as mainframe based computing, personal computing, client server based computing and web server based computing respectively. As there are several advantages over present generation of web server based computing such as fast micro processor, huge memory, high-speed network, reliable system architecture etc. we can say that cloud computing will provide the next generation of computing services.

Does competition improve financial stability of the banking sector in ASEAN countries? An empirical analysis.

Abstract: This study examines the influence of competition on the financial stability of the commercial banks of Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) over the 1990 to 2014 period. Panzar-Rosse H-statistic, Lerner index and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) are used as measures of competition, while Z-score, non-performing loan (NPL) ratio and equity ratio are used as measures of financial stability. Two-step system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimates demonstrate that competition measured by H-statistic is positively related to Z-score and equity ratio, and negatively related to non-performing loan ratio. Conversely, market power measured by Lerner index is negatively related to Z-score and equity ratio and positively related to NPL ratio. These results strongly support the competition-stability view for ASEAN banks. We also capture the non-linear relationship between competition and financial stability by incorporating a quadratic term of competition in our models. The results show that the coefficient of the quadratic term of H-statistic is negative for the Z-score model given a positive coefficient of the linear term in the same model. These results support the non-linear relationship between competition and financial stability of the banking sector. The study contains significant policy implications for improving the financial stability of the commercial banks.

An IoT based fire alarming and authentication system for workhouse using Raspberry Pi 3

Abstract: Ensuring minimum rights and safety of the garment workers has become a burning issue nowadays. The workers of garment factories are facing some labyrinths and broken out of fire is surely one of them. The investors are losing their interest and the prominence of this sector is getting toneless. In this paper, we have propounded a system which is capable to detect fire and can provide the location of the affected region. Raspberry Pi 3 has been used to control multiple Arduino which are integrated with a couple of sensors and camera. A 360° relay motor is assembled with the camera so that it can snap the image in whatever angle the fire is detected. We have provided a confirmation of the fire suspecting system to avoid any false alarm. The system will immediately send a message along with the image of the affected spot and Arduino's location. An admin can confirm or deny the impeachment and if the admin confirms the situation as a breaking out of fire, then the system will immediately raise an alarm and an automatic message will be sent to the nearby fire brigade.
